| VE3MGY | SINGLE-OP LOW | I missed all of Friday night due to a bad stomach flu that started on Wednesday and just gradually kept getting worse. I was still sick on Saturday morning but I got on anyway and stayed there pretty much all day ( except for 2 hrs over the noon hour... ) |
| VE3MV | ASSISTED LOW | Used a Butternut vertical and / or a trap sloper |
| VE3PCP | SINGLE-OP LOW | ANTENNA IS: 1/4 WAVE ELEMENT ADDED TO MY GROUND MOUNT VERTICAL AND GOES UP AND OVER A TREE BRANCH AT ABOUT 35' HIGH AND BACK DOWN THE OTHER SIDE APROX 160M OF RADIALS FOR THE ANTENNA RADIO IS A KENWOOD TS870 ADDED GRID SQUARE LOCATOR |
| VE3PN | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Conditions at start very good but some emi from somewhere took out 1815-1823,1858-1863. Great fun though! |
| VE3VY | ASSISTED LOW | Single-Element Wire Antennas Only: 270' OCFD (NNE-SSW) and 130' Inv-L (Apex at 40 ft with 2 elevated radials up 8-10 feet). LoG for listening helped a bit but didn't need it very often. Like many others, I am 160M antenna challenged -- hoping to get my ap |
| VE7BLW | SINGLE-OP LOW | Vertical end-fed wire, 20 feet above ground at highest point |
| VE9WH | ASSISTED LOW | Used an inverted L design, that is 48 feet vertical and 90 feet winding through the trees in my back yard, not the greatest, but I still get to play on top band. |
| VK2CCC | SINGLE-OP QRP | Worked from a small city lot in Sydney. Great propagation to US during the first VK night. There were many great NA signals on the band - ND7K, W8KA, K2KW, K3ZM, K8LX, K1LT, K3LR, K7NJ, NA7TB, just to mention a few. Working QRP from VK on 160m is |
| VK2GR | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Very good EU openings around my sunrise time. Signals from NA were weak in my evenings. Antenna: 160m dipole 14m high in the centre and 10m at the ends. |
| VK2PW | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Thanks to the organisers. Only did one morning watch on the last day but it was a buzz. |
| VK3IO | ASSISTED HIGH | On my first night, plenty of QRN and mostly very weak signals, with no JA's, except for VE3EJ and VE6BBP, who were easily worked and good signals, all other North America were either non existent or very weak. Maybe they were all beaming the othe |
| VK3TZ | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Apologies to OK7K for the dupe. My bad. It was Australia Day long weekend so I was away with friends for the weekend but back for our Sunday night and Monday morning, although exhausted from a fun filled weekend with my old Airforce buddies. Hear The Sunr |
| VK4DRK | ASSISTED LOW | 100W into an EFHW, up in a tree |
| VY1CO | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Inverted Vee 450w ... |
| W0CAR | SINGLE-OP HIGH | 135ft W1ICP dipole with feeders tied together. 12-30ft above ground. Great Fun - Many Thanks! |
| W0FLS | SINGLE-OP HIGH | I had a log file get corrupted. If your Q does not appear in my log that's why. An enjoyable part time effort. Decent but not great condition with EU both nights. |
| W0IZ | SINGLE-OP LOW | Horizontal loop at 40 ft |
| W0PSY | ASSISTED HIGH | TS-590SG, KPA500 Inv L @55' no RX Ant |
| W0SEI | SINGLE-OP LOW | INVERTED L, ONLY 4 RADIALS |
| W0UC | ASSISTED LOW | 160m dipole, 50' at center to 20' at ends, very bent |
| W0UO | SINGLE-OP LOW | Pretty rough conditions, rain and thunderstorms in the area Friday night along with a major line of thunderstorms in SE Texas. Saturday night improved some. |
| W1CTN | SINGLE-OP LOW | Dipole at 40 feet |
| W1DYJ | ASSISTED LOW | Antenna: My 160 "antenna" is part of a complex fan dipole: Trapped 80/40 plus 30 [SE-NW] AND trapped 160/75 [S-N, with the north end turning a few times back on itself to fit in the yard]. Center feed @ 35', ~15'at north end 25' at south end. https://www. |
| W1FJ | SINGLE-OP QRP | inv l 4 ele radials |
| W1HIS | SINGLE-OP HIGH | I was a single operator transmitting high (not low) power however, my only antenna, for receiving as well as transmitting, was a wire stretched between two trees and no more than 50 feet above ground at its highest point. |
| W1WEF | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Last year I could hear everything on my beverage. This year I could hear nothing on my beverage , but band was very quiet both nights. In order to avoid leg cramps I have to get up alot and take time off, BOC (butt outta chair) That worked well a |
| W2CCC | SINGLE-OP LOW | Alpha Delta Sloper DX-A was ON THE GROUND IN THE SNOW, surprised I worked anybody? Found out Sunday morning. Gave up after several very frustrating hours. Congratulations to ND7K, obviously outstanding receive capabilities (NY to AZ, unbelievable |
| W2CG | SINGLE-OP LOW | Ant:160M Inv L @ 50 ft. Rig: IC-7610 Handed out a few Qs to test remote capabilities from a Mcdonald's parking lot in Manahawkin, NJ to home QTH in Flemington, NJ. The test was successful. |
| W2GG | SINGLE-OP LOW | Recovering from Covid so not much energy. Low power plus no resonant antenna. Maybe next year. |

| W4VIC | ASSISTED HIGH | Thanks for the Qs. 73, Vic W4VIC |
| W5MMW | SINGLE-OP LOW | Antenna was just a half-wave dipole between two trees. Glad to get back into contesting and work more CW |

| W8EH | ASSISTED LOW | Inverted L at 30 feet. |
| W8FIB | SINGLE-OP LOW | 160m dipole at 30 ft |
| W8KA | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Unbelievable opening in EU Saturday night that I could of missed if I wasn't in Search and Pounce Mode. Never experienced such an opening from West Coast! |
| W8KRZ | ASSISTED LOW | TX ant- 1/2 sloper RX ant- Loop on the ground LOG |
| W8LVN | SINGLE-OP LOW | Antenna 160 dipole max height 15 feet. Rig K3S. Antenna failed at the end of the day. |
| W8RU | SINGLE-OP LOW | My rebuilt 160m vertical was destroyed in a snow/ice storm a week ago, so I ran using my 80m dipole. It worked pretty well thanks to some good ears. Conditions on Saturday night seemed good. Thanks for the QSOs and 73, Ron (W8RU). |
| W9AV | ASSISTED HIGH | Inverted-L |
| W9ILY | SINGLE-OP LOW | Used a end-fed inverted L with the maximum height of about 25 feet. |
