| S51J | ASSISTED HIGH | Working from home, first part with FT-710 and EXPERT 1.3K-FA, second part with my old FT-2000 and ACOM1000. Antena was Kelemen 160/80/40 dipol, so week signals didn't came through. Some parts on begining and on end of band, were done with only 100 W, using buildin tuners in both radios. |

| SP5GAN | SINGLE-OP QRP | First time for me to take part in 160m CW contest as SP5GAN. This time, I could take part less than 3 hours only due to travelling. Antenna is a 20 meter end-fed wire, sloping from 7th floor of building. Rig used is Elecraft K2, along with built-in antenna tuner. Heavy noisy urban environment. TX-pwr: 5 Watts QRP only. IF-BW: 400Hz. QRA: KO02MD I was happy to see how patiently so many ops picked up my weak signal! Thanks to all who did so and encouraged me to be qrv on 160. I was able to contact 14 European countries, 28 QSQs in total. Learn more about me at www.qrz.com. (look for SP5GAN and/or DL2GAN) Hope to hear you again in 2026! Dood DX & Happy brasspounding! Wx: Misty and foggy, light rain, nighttime temperature around +5°C. |

| SQ9Y | SINGLE-OP HIGH | A blast! New house in Poland with a garden, no plan at all to put any antenna BUT during Christmas i said "ok let's maybe just put a vertical for few QSO..." So I bought a spiderbeam 18m pole and at the moment it arrived i pictured what i would do next: short vertical for 160 and beverages ready for the WW 160 CW! I spent several days in the snow, rasing the vertical few times for the best tune, and in the forest to put 4xbeverages: 240, 270, 310 with resistor, 40. Couldn't make anything to East. Considering what i read around i have lack of east Mults for I was ready to have some fun few hours before the start, expecting a never ending F1 contest. I was damn wrong. I must say it was one of the best contest of my life. There was everything: the setup preparation, my girlfriend helping in the field, the troubles with the antenna, the night to create a beverage switch, the amazing feeling of the pileup! The first night was quite smooth with a marginal propagation to US I'd say. I spent maybe 10% S&P, the Run was much more fun. Second night was amazing with a solid US opening and before that even few JA in the log. Here i went up and down the band several times, as my signal was surely not strong enough to guarantee a good rate. I found several Mults but couldn't make QSO with all of them, and to be honest i still doubt some won't be NIL. Sure no way with AZ and CA. When the pileup was too strong i had to wait several minutes to get through, but with 16m vertical i couldn't ask more. I missed few US QSO here, but i was not sure I would get enough MULTs from the RUN. The end of the contest was the cherry on the cake with solid signals from JA I've never experience on this band. I am VERY happy i was able to join this contest and even in a competitive way considering the very modest setup. I want to thank all my SP friends for the support, especially Alex SQ9UM who let me use his call SQ9Y. Thanks him if you didn't struggle with SP/IT9RGY :) Congrats to Suad DK6XZ operating from my house in IT9 with a very strong 9++ QRM, and to the other guys representing IT9: IT9RBW, IB9R, II9P, IP9R to name few. |
