KC9EEASSISTED HIGHNot as much time to operate as I would have liked but had fun when I could.
KD4DSINGLE-OP LOWThe first hour was good for low power - 115 QSOs may be a personal best for me! I heard a few weak Europeans so I was hopeful. I spent too much time Friday night trying to force European runs and doing S&P. I ended up with 85 ten-point QSOs - mostly Europ

KK4RSINGLE-OP LOWI didn't give this contest the attention it deserved, because I've been working on my N1MM configuration and station set up. As a means for checking things out, i worked 3 contests over the weekend.

KP2MSINGLE-OP HIGHMy neighbor turned off his Solar Power System so the noise floor dropped from -95 to -110 DBM. Full time night one with 254 10 pointers, second night 98 10 pointers including deeper DX. Condx were much better in the VI night two, apparently the story was

KS7TSINGLE-OP HIGHWow, what a difference a day makes and solar flares as well This contest was a victim to the 4th M class solar flare this month plus other solar disturbances and cndx on Sunday drastically dropped off and so did the qso total. Lots of nw I hr u nw I don't

LY4AASSISTED HIGHCrazy wheater, big storm no electricity 3 hours in saturday everning, and more of 20 times drop down in sunday everning for 1-5 minutes.
LY4ZZSINGLE-OP QRPYes, QRP is hard to work with :) On my side TRX TS-590S, crossed two dipoles (high abt 30m), delta loop direction to east. Thank you all for your patience.

M4XSINGLE-OP LOWOperated for 4 hours with FTdx5000 and 38ft centre-loaded vertical with earth mat.
M7VASSISTED HIGH400W, K3, Inv L. Poor propagation. Thanks for QSOs
MM0TSINGLE-OP HIGHOnly giving points as this location is too noisy for a serious pentry. I noted many "big" stations weren't very good at listening, they just kept calling CQ without giving themselves time to hear any response. I don't think conditions on this band often f
MM2NASSISTED HIGHGreat fun although poor conditions to USA/Canada and the Carib.
MU5ESINGLE-OP HIGHDreadful conditions to the USA but thanks for all the QSO's. See you next year! 73 Bob GU4YOX / MU5E
N0JKSINGLE-OP QRPGot on late Saturday evening after coming home from work. Band noisy, but noted California and Ontario stations were loud. Only DX heard was V31XX. Did not copy me...
N0NBSINGLE-OP LOWBand was nice and quiet and signals were good here. Kind of getting back into 160 contesting so a minimal effort this year.
N1JPASSISTED HIGHThe noise on 160 was unbearable at a level of 10/S9. Worked the strongest stations that I could find then after nearly 2 hours I gave up. Noise seems to be coming from the power lines.
N1RRMULTI-OPWhat do you do during a blizzard ? CQ160CW & REF-CW
N2CJASSISTED LOWGood propagation of Friday night. No Europe on Saturday Night.
N2KAASSISTED HIGHOnly worked about an hour Friday night.Conditions decent. Had to get up early for blizzard on Saturday. Too pooped to operate Saturday night!
N2KWASSISTED HIGHThanks to Dave, K1TTT, for the use of his fine station!
N3DPBMULTI-OPspecial thanks FOR ALL OF THE QSOS
N3RSASSISTED HIGHJust a few hours, but a lot of fun.
N4HBMULTI-OPTerrible weather conditions with Ice and show on Friday night causing us to have to shut down, as well as bad band conditions on Saturday evening!
N4UMSINGLE-OP HIGHA rough contest if you live on a small lot in an HOA where antennas are prohibited!
N4WWASSISTED HIGHEurope was tough to hear in Florida except near European sunrise.
N5EESINGLE-OP LOWParticipation seemed above normal and conditions were good, even with a mediocre antenna. Wish I could have operated more than three hours. I look forward to next year when hopefully I've got vertically polarized TX antenna and a good RX antenna. 73 Kenny
N6ANSINGLE-OP QRPPortable attempt from SOTA summit Flint Peak, W6/CT-225. I strung up a 180' doublet, but it tuned to about 10:1 and folded back the tx power to 2 watts. W6PH and N6JV heard me! Saturday I extended the antenna to full size and managed to get it in the air.
N6HISINGLE-OP QRPQRP, 5 Watts to a 20-Foot End-Fed Wire. Tnx for the QSOs. GO ARIZONA OUTLAWS! -73- John N6HI
N6RKSINGLE-OP LOWVery lackluster contest due to poor propagation ... until 12:40Z on Saturday morning when the band came alive and I worked 40 (FORTY) JA's in 40 minutes! I eventually finished with 47 total. And this was done with LOW POWER. My personal best.
N8IISINGLE-OP LOWLocal QRN hampered effort, but mainly just not up to the task of putting in long night time hours. Condx were poor the 2nd evening and next morning. I had a good rate in 22-23Z hour Friday. 73, Jeff
