| N0DL | SINGLE-OP LOW | shortened inverted-L at 35ft that somehow loads up on 160m. |
| N0JK | SINGLE-OP QRP | Flea power due to snowstorm and rain gutter antenna with RF in shack. Kudos to all who copied me, including ZF5T, KP4AA, XE2X and PJ2T. Heard KH6AQ, P40AA and V31MA around 0930 UTC Jan. 25. |
| N0STP | SINGLE-OP LOW | 160m End fed wire, 6 feet off the ground |
| N1LN | ASSISTED HIGH | Home heating system failure and ice storm got in the way this year. |
| N1NN | SINGLE-OP LOW | 10TH CQ 160M CW CONTEST 90 FOOT END FED WIRE |
| N1QY | SINGLE-OP LOW | Trap dipole. 40 ft at highest point. |
| N2AWE | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted-L, (16) 33 ft ground radials and (3) 130 ft elevated radials snaked around the property |
| N2PP | ASSISTED HIGH | Remote operation |
| N2RI | SINGLE-OP LOW | Non resonant dipole fed with open wire line 23 feet above ground at its highest point. |
| N2US | SINGLE-OP QRP | PHF-160 Mobile Center loaded vertical antenna with one 130-foot radial wire. Base of antenna 4 feet above ground. Total height of vertical antenna about 8 feet. |
| N3AD | ASSISTED HIGH | Remote operation |
| N3HEE | ASSISTED LOW | Single end fed wire converted to a Inverted L for 160 meters with 70 ground radials. |
| N3IW | SINGLE-OP QRP | ~67 foot long random wire up about 10 feet |
| N3TE | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted L with 25' mast and 110' loading wire run to 20' pole. Twelve radials 27' - 64' on ground. |
| N3XL | SINGLE-OP HIGH | 43 ft. vertical - DXE-MBVE-5A |
| N4BP | SINGLE-OP HIGH | 2026 Jan 23 CQ160 |
| N4CW | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Antenna: Inverted-L with FCP Rig: K4D with KPA-1500 On the first night, just a couple hours into the contest, the xyl shuffled across the living room to re-position the TV and drew an arc to the Roku receiver, essentially wiping out the eprom contents...the whole procedure to bring it back to (fun Mostly S&P and glad I did due to band conditions. Even with that modest antenna, I worked several Europeans. The best DX was an SV. Kudos to AJ1G/M in CT...on 160 yet!!! 73, and Tnx for the Q's |
| N4EK | SINGLE-OP LOW | Good conditions both nights. Only one DX though. ZF5T Tnx |
| N4GG | SINGLE-OP QRP | Only anytenna was a 20 meter dipole...had to run QRP due to the SWR. It's interesting to be really weak and see who has great ears and who are the alligators! FTdx10, 20 meter dipole, WRITELOG |
| N4IU | SINGLE-OP LOW | broadband terminated dipole highest point about 25 ft |
| N4IW | ASSISTED LOW | 80 meter OCF Dipole |
| N4IY | SINGLE-OP LOW | Antenna was 365 off-center-fed wire at 40 feet. |
| N5XE | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted L at 30 feet |
| N6MA | ASSISTED LOW | endfed dipole at 15 feet |
| N6ZFO | SINGLE-OP LOW | Antenna: 40m Double Extended Zepp fed with 450 ohm ladder line through a 4KV Balun. High point of antenna is 35 feet AGL. Xmtr a K4D barefoot. |
| N9MSG | ASSISTED LOW | inverted L apex at 50 ft |
| N9NE | ASSISTED HIGH | Terrible conditions as almost everyone has noted. My 55' 160M vertical 'T' with its ~170 in-ground radials worked well on transmit but turned out to be a dud on receive. Atmospheric and local noise levels masked many stations, so I refrained from |
| N9OK | ASSISTED HIGH | No Friday operation, Saturday late start, Sunday propagation essentially non-existant, unimpressive conditions. Not a great contest for me. |
| N9SE | SINGLE-OP QRP | Logged with ContestLogger |
| N9TF | ASSISTED LOW | Conditions terrible from this little pistols perspective. Quite a few stations I normally worked just CQd in my face. Deep QSB on some signals. Contacts were slow going. After the first night and Saturday B4 sunrise I should have been over 200 plus Qs. I barely managed to hit 155 Qs. Saturday night was a real struggle as the snow storm changed over to an ice storm and the SWR kept fluctuating and I had to continuously retune the MFJ tuner. It was a struggle to make the next 67 Qs to put me a bit over 200 Qs. QRTd at 05:37utc Sunday and called it a contest. Woke up Sunday morning to half inch plus of ice on all the antennas, and still sleeting and freezing rain coming down. 160 inverted L wire stretched and loaded down to the ground with half inch or more of ice coating the 110' of wire. Still freezing rain and sleet coming down as I type this. Looks like I'll be qrt from 160 till spring rolls around. 73, Gene N9TF K3S 100 watts to inverted L 22' to knee 110' horizontal traveling west. |
| ND0C | SINGLE-OP QRP | 80m inverted vee with apex at 38 feet, fed with ladderline and tuner. |
