| K8GB | SINGLE-OP LOW | 40M EFHW Inv Vee at 35 feet thru MFJ Autotuner |
| K8GT | ASSISTED LOW | Antenna was a damaged 40m inverted vee plus the shield of the coax feeding it. |
| K8MR | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted-J, 45 max, down to about 20 feet at the end, two elevated quarter wave radials along the top of the fence between our condo's property and the outside world. |
| K8SVT | SINGLE-OP LOW | Kenwood TS 450 rig 100 w into a Single wire alpha delta trap sloper antenna up 22 feet with no counter-poise. Thanks to all those who had the patience to pull my weak signal out of the noise. This year was the first time to hear Alaska on 160, bu |
| K8ZT | SINGLE-OP QRP | 43' Vertical |
| K9CS | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted L, 33 feet vertical + wire sloping down to ~8 feet AGL |
| K9EI | ASSISTED LOW | Inverted L at 60' and radials. |
| K9KJ | SINGLE-OP LOW | Endfed wire in trees at 23 feet. |
| K9PMV | SINGLE-OP LOW | Antenna : G5RV with feed line tied together. |
| K9WWT | SINGLE-OP HIGH | GREAT BAND CONDITIONS THIS YEAR. |
| K9ZU | SINGLE-OP LOW | half wave dipole at 35ft. Pretzeled onto a 135ft city lot. Fed with 450ohm ladder line. |
| KA9FQG | SINGLE-OP LOW | Had lots of fun, used a Yaesu FT100D transceiver and a homebrew K6MM "No Excuses" helical-wound vertical. |
| KA9I | ASSISTED LOW | 1/4 WAVE UP 50' OVER 80' 6X33FT GROUND RADIALS |
| KB2URI | ASSISTED LOW | Antenna was 40m End-Fed, because we're limited on space and everything imaginable for 160m. It's fun! Thanks to all the Good OPs for pulling out "the weak one". 73 |
| KD2EPM | SINGLE-OP LOW | End fed 80-10 works poorly during rain and it rained all weekend. I must run reduced power because of high VSWR during wet conditions. I know it is an 80-10 antenna but it works great with very low VSWR on 160M when it is dry. I had fun anyway. |
| KD2YJX | SINGLE-OP QRP | Random wire about 80ft in a poplar tree fed to a 9:1 unun. My first time working CW in a contest, I had only ever had 2 QSOs on CW in the top band. |
| KD4D | SINGLE-OP LOW | Thanks again to Frank Donovan, W3LPL, for letting me use his fine station. I set the 160 meter position up for SO2R operation using a Microham u2r SO2R controller and N1MM+ with two keyboards. I'm glad this contetst still has a single operator category - |
| KE8E | SINGLE-OP LOW | 80 Meter Dipole at 35 feet with Dentron Super Tuner Antenna Tuner for transmitter matching. |
| KE8HBV | ASSISTED LOW | alpha delta dipole |
| KE8RJU | ASSISTED LOW | 160m Inverted-L Vertical @48ft |
| KG8CW | ASSISTED HIGH | Band sounded great Friday night, but only 2 hours to operate. |
| KH6KB | MULTI-OP | Conditions were not great. We could hear all the usual big guns, but they weren't loud and they were not easy to work. Second night was a bit better, but still not very good. The slow pace made it hard to stay awake. Maybe missed some "magic hour |
| KK0U | ASSISTED LOW | Antenna was a T-loaded vertical up 40 feet. Basically, my dipole with the open wire feeders shorted together at the bottom, and fed through a loading coil. |
| KK4R | ASSISTED HIGH | Inverted-L, a single wire, draped over a pine tree |
| KL7KY | ASSISTED HIGH | First not was not horrible but I missed W1 and W2 at their sunrise. Did hear some EU and Carribean but too weak to work. Second night was much better, and set my alarm for E. Coast SR and slept through it. On a high note I did put 9A, LY's, SP, UA4, uand |
| KQ9J | ASSISTED HIGH | Only got about an hour in Sunday morning. |
| KS7T | SINGLE-OP LOW | Condx seemed reversed from previous years at least on the rcvg end Sigs from East Coast Sunday were stronger before midnite MST than in the wee hours, but the qsb was horrible all the time. PJ2T and P40AA both cqing long periods with no one calling but me |
| KY4GS | ASSISTED LOW | YL and Rookie (Licensed April 2021). Antenna - EFHW 80-10m up 25 ft (in the horizontal shape of an L). |
| LA3ZA | ASSISTED LOW | Inverted-L quarter-wave |
| LA4WKA | ASSISTED HIGH | Short contest due to work. Great fun to see cw is very much alive. Antenna broke in middle of the night in high winds, but able to "repair" |
| LC7X | ASSISTED HIGH | SUNSDR. Software SDC contest module Antennas: 28.5m Vertical 60 radials. |
| LX1ER | ASSISTED LOW | i used my inv-L , 14 meter vertical and the rest horizontal . my best result ever rx in a cw contest . not easy to come over the pile ups, but i think my LX call help with some db's lol will do next year better i hope |
| LX1NO | SINGLE-OP HIGH | 80-100Hz distance seems widely accepted. My bad that my receiver doesn't like it. Jumping on one's frequency that's been in use for quite a while and being told to QSY followed by DQRM seems ok. One station in particular had fun doing so several times thr |
| LY0NAS | SINGLE-OP LOW | Kenwood TS-590SG, AirspyHF+ via DRV Dipole of 80m horiz. loop at 8m high and 39m wire at most 10m height Last 10 QSO made remotly via rpi3 |
| LY2K | ASSISTED LOW | InvL+FCP |
| LY2ZO | MULTI-OP | NO QSO WITH RUSSIA AND BELARUS |
| LY3AB | ASSISTED LOW | end-fed wire |
| LY3KI | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted L, 14m high mast. 73! |
| LY3QN | SINGLE-OP LOW | LW ANT about 40 meters long, with balun, feed point 8 meters, end point 4 meters above the ground, about 10 meters counterpose which end earthened to the soil with metal whip. |
| LY4T | SINGLE-OP QRP | W3DZZ for 160/80 M |
| LY7K | ASSISTED LOW | Slightly inverted V half wave dipole antenna with the height of the center is at 50ft and the dipole both ends are at about 23ft |
| LZ1MC | ASSISTED LOW | ant: dipole for 80m band...hi |
| LZ7U | ASSISTED LOW | INVERTED L for 160m |
| M5M | ASSISTED LOW | Suffering from flu throughout so expect a few busted contacts. Inverted-L, 12m at vertical section dropping to 6m at the end. |
| MM9I | ASSISTED HIGH | Part time effort. Condx not that great but still a fun contest. Thanks for the Qs |
| MU5E | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Conditions did not seem at all good this year and struggled receiving on 2 x 1000' Beverages. The best Rx antenna was the K9AY system this time. Many thanks for working me and sincere apologies for those I could not hear. I did listen carefully. Difficul |
| N0DL | SINGLE-OP LOW | Dipole designed for 80-10m, has very high SWR limiting me to 35W max on 160m. |
| N0GM | ASSISTED LOW | 35' loaded vertical with 2-50' wires serving as a capacitive cap. 4x150' radials. |
| N0JK | SINGLE-OP QRP | Had got up to try to work TX5S on 160M FT8. Was successful. Went on to give a few of the contestants a QSO. Best DX VE7ZO BC. Antenna was rain gutter on house (about 15 feet high) with a top wire of 40 feet to a nearby low cherry tree. Oddly SWR 1.2 - 1. |
| N0UD | SINGLE-OP LOW | inverted L |
