K4RFKSINGLE-OP LOWlove to hear 160m so active. Heard a ton of calls......low antenna meant I could only be heard by a few
K4SXTSINGLE-OP LOWConditions seemed good as the band was open from just before sunset to sunrise here in South Central Florida. But 100 watts into a loaded 29' vertical is really no fun in this contest - too many S9 signals CQ'ing in my face. Heard a lot of EU, no

K5KJASSISTED HIGHRig: K3 + KPA500 @ 400W ANT: Shunt fed 60' tower and Pixel Technologies receiving loop
K5RXSINGLE-OP HIGHBesides the normal power line noise, much of the time there was an extremely loud noise. That dictated when I operated, as only very loud stateside stations were audible when it was present. The result was just under ten hours on the air. Conditions to EU
K5ZDSINGLE-OP HIGHWorked over 140 Europeans between 0600 and 0830 on Sunday. Sure helped the score and multipliers! VO2NS was sending NL, but logger made me log it as LB.

K6NRSINGLE-OP HIGHCQ160CW is one of my favorite contests, although the noise level at my QTH has dulled the fun a bit over time. However, it's all about propagation. This time around there was good activity but I couldn't hear a lot of DX and around half the stations that
K7LFYASSISTED HIGHFriday night was awful. Lots of noise from BPA transmission lines and propagation was bad as well. Saturday night I had rain and local noise was much lower and propagation better but still not good to the NE or to DX. Put in a lot of time on this
K7QBOSINGLE-OP LOWFriday night was great. Extra receive antennas really helped. Icom power supply failed when powered up on Satureday. Ended contest for me.
K7TDASSISTED HIGHStill my favorite contest. But I'd sure like to have the opportunity to operate from the Northeast, ie Maine. Are you listening Doug??
K8GUSINGLE-OP LOWForce-feeding an 80-meter dipole at 70 feet through open-wire. K2 complained, but got as much as 100 W at the bottom of the band. Thanks for pulling me out of the noise!
K8LFASSISTED HIGHMy first somewhat serious effort to work any 160M contest. Next year I hope to have a RX only antenna. I converted my EFHW 80M to a 160M inverted L using short section of RG-58 to bypass the 49:1 matching transformer. The L could have been shortened to co
K8LTSINGLE-OP LOWI noticed on Thursday night that the 160m contest was coming up, and it sounded like fun to give it a try for the first time. Only problem was no 160 antenna and -10F wind chill on Friday. Almost skipped it, but things warmed up a little on Satur
