| N0VRP | ASSISTED HIGH | sketchy inverted L k3/kpa500 |
| N1CGP | SINGLE-OP LOW | full wave loop up 35 feet |
| N1NN | SINGLE-OP LOW | 8TH CQ 160M CW CONTEST 90 FOOT END FED WIRE |
| N1QY | SINGLE-OP LOW | With my antenna at well below full height, I was worried about how it would perform. (It wasn't a killer to start with.) I did do reasonably well, including one new 160 slot checked off. DX participation was disappointing. At least I'm in busines |
| N1ZZ | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Good contest. Bad propagation from FL to western states. I only operated for about 9 hours. Used 500 watts into a 32 foot high inverted -L. CU next year. |
| N2AWE | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted L, using a 40 ft mast and a tree. (6) 30 ft radials laying. Fits on city lot. |
| N2EM | SINGLE-OP LOW | 160 meter half-wave dipole up about 30 feet, fed with window line from a transmatch. |
| N2KW | ASSISTED LOW | Thanks to Dave, K1TTT, for the use of his fine station! |
| N2UU | ASSISTED LOW | G5RV at 25' fed as random wire |
| N2YF | SINGLE-OP LOW | Random wire at 25 feet |
| N3HEE | ASSISTED LOW | Single EFHW antenna configured as an inverted L for 160 meters with 60 ground radials. |
| N3LT | SINGLE-OP LOW | 200 foot non-resonant symmetric dipole about 40 ft up at highest point and 25 feet at feed point using 60 ft of ladder line into a home made balanced to 50 ohm unbalanced coax feed-line transformer. feeding about 30 feet of coax into the shack. T |
| N3ZV | ASSISTED LOW | 90 foot cage vertical, fed from the top and 15 100 foot radials from quarter inch copper tubing around the bottom of the tower. The copper tubing is connected to the tower via 2 inch copper ground strap. |
| N4AF | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Lower noise here on Saturday night. DX signals commensurate with solar cycle. 73, Howie |
| N4AX | SINGLE-OP QRP | Antenna damage at contest site, no time to repair, installed quick sloper transmit antenna hung from tree 30 ft at highest point, sloping to the East. Elecraft K2 running 5 watts, Receive antenna ground mounted ISOTRON 160C , it got me on the air |
| N4FP | SINGLE-OP LOW | 160 inverted V at 45 ft |
| N4IW | ASSISTED LOW | I was actually ready on time this week at the start of the contest, which was unusual. Since I have a very limited antenna, especially for 160, I had trouble having new stations to work many times throughout the contest. I ran up and down the band many, m |
| N4NTO | ASSISTED LOW | 160-20 meter fan dipole at 30'. |
| N4TL | ASSISTED HIGH | 3.25 hours |
| N4TZ | ASSISTED HIGH | 9PM bedtime reduces topband DXing, but did work MU5E half hour before my sunset. |
| N5GG | ASSISTED LOW | FTdx10 / inverted L @ 33ft |
| N5NEN | SINGLE-OP HIGH | end-fed 148ft. wire up 15-30 ft |
| N5XE | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted L antenna at approximately 35 feet high. |
| N6DW | ASSISTED HIGH | I wasn't going to get in the contest. My marginal antenna broke in the last storm, but I wanted to improve my signal on 40 and 80 anyway. So I threw up a 40m Half square (throw being an apt description) and it mostly loaded on 160.....although I spent a c |
| N6HI | SINGLE-OP QRP | QRP 5 full Watts to a 20-Foot End-Fed Wire. Tnx for your patience and the QSOs. Go Arizona Outlaws! -73- John N6HI |
| N6LL | SINGLE-OP LOW | wandering dipole supported by trees and a 30' fiberglass pole. |
| N6MA | SINGLE-OP LOW | off center fed dipole |
| N7JI | SINGLE-OP LOW | I-shaped antenna. 85' vertical section with two tophats sloping downward, and two counterpoise elements at the bottom. Not a great antenna but better than nothing. |
| N7KU | SINGLE-OP HIGH | All in for this one. What a difference an antenna can make. Different from last year - 160m invVee is gone, replaced by top fed gamma matched tower. Added an additional 150ft to the EU Beverage to 650+ feet significantly improving the RX to go Friday n |
| N7SE | SINGLE-OP LOW | 75 ft EFW, Sloper, 17 feet above ground at highest point. |
| N7ZZ | SINGLE-OP LOW | City lot 135' end fed over house to fruit tree. |
| N8TCP | SINGLE-OP LOW | OCF dipole at 35 feet. |
| N9CO | ASSISTED LOW | Rig is Icom IC-7300, 100 watts output. TX antenna is shunt fed 84' Rohn 45G. RX antenna is small terminated loops with 4 directions. N1MM+ logging software. |
| N9DJ | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted L wire at 40 feet |
| N9HDE | SINGLE-OP LOW | TAK-tenna resonated on 7 MHz. It is about 25 feet up on the roof of my house. I use a Palstar AT2KD antenna tuner to make it work on 160 meters. TAK-tenna is a spiral dipole. |
| N9JR | ASSISTED HIGH | The ice storm damaged antenna still kind of sort of works. Not much time to operate but had a lot of fun. |
| N9PGG | ASSISTED LOW | A 160 Meter Antenna Hybrid Design https://www.hamradiosecrets.com/160-meter-antenna.html You can read the authors comments on the Hybrid Design and his feelings on it. My horizontal goes up about 45 to 50 feet at the apex "looks like the positive side of |
| N9SE | SINGLE-OP QRP | I returned for another round of 160m QRP excitement and adventure. I recen tly had Achilles tendon surgery, so I had to operate from the Lazy Boy with my foot elevated. My XYL and daughter helped to set up the K4D next to my chair and I operated using a l |
| N9SM | SINGLE-OP QRP | simple multiband dipole at 7m from ground |
| N9TF | SINGLE-OP LOW | Small low antennas can work DX...Thanks to the heavy lifting at the other end! Four DX 10 pointers, KH6, OM, P4, PJ2 and four DX 5 pointers, FM, KP4, ZF, KP2. Friday night was extremely noisy with static crashes S9 to 10 over along with deep fast QSB. Mad |

| NL8F | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Nice propagation after I fixed broken wire on Inverted L great fun |
| NN5T | SINGLE-OP LOW | Butternut HF-2V (32' tall) with 1,500' of ground radial |
| NO9E | ASSISTED HIGH | Station: Flex 6600, PG XL amp, TG XL tuner, shunt fed 100ft tower, 7 beverages ~ 800ft long, Hi-Z4-8. Pretty good conditions on Friday evening with EU booming, but thunderstorms made copying stations hard. On Saturday evening few stations and the EU no |
