K5ZDSO HP ALLThe first day was great. The second was less so. Conditions were down. I blew up an amplifier. Activity seemed to drop as we neared the end of the contest. The solar storm didn't help either. Still, great way to spend a rainy weekend!
K6FASO LP ALLWell I had fun. Did work a few new states that I need for my 5BWAS-RTTY. That was my main goal. Did better then I thought I would. Hope they LoTW. Even did pretty good on working DX

K8LFSA HP ALLMissed most of Saturday for the yearly PVRC meet up at the NR4M contest station. Also had a pretty bad storm down the east coast so my antenna was lowered. Saturday evening and Sunday brought many contacts into the log

KB4QZHSA HP ALLAnother great time in this contest. 2 year using the K4D awesome rig for the job
KB9VMOSO LP ALLHAD A NICE WEEKEND CHASING NICE SIGNALS!
KC1RETSA LP ALLFirst license 2022. Wow! First, I want to thank Tony, K1KP, for the use of his fantastic station! This is my first experience on a real 'contest station' and it is a true game changer! It was also my first experience with a modern SDR radio and with remote ops. Tony has great documentation so the setup was straight forward. Condx were generally pretty good although 10m on Sunday was a bit of a disappointment. I had a few good runs of 100+ Qs/hour but was pushed out by QRM most everytime. I guess running as LP has special challenges. hihi I focused on getting Qs up through Sun. PM then switched to hunting mults. A few good surprises Guam, Aland Isl., Chatham Isl., AK and HI. This was my first contest on 80m. I prob. should have spent more time there but didn't really think of it much as I don't have an antenna for it on my station. 15m was the money band for me, plenty of stations and lots of mults. The big thing I learned was that I have a lot to learn. I'm sure I could have scored better with more timely band switching, more running vs S&P and giving up sooner on pileups & stations that were not hearing me. On to the next one! Thanks again, Tony!
KC1SASO HP ALL15m was the sweet spot for me although I did make QSOs on all bands
KC3SVRSO HP ALLFirst license 10-2021
KC4LZNSA LP ALLThe band conditions on 10 and 15 were just superb. I did go down to 20 towards the latter part of the contest but wow, 10 and 15 were just doing so well.

LC6CSA HP ALLOK conditions on Saturday, whilst Sunday was moderate on this latitude. 10 m did not produce much at all, whilst post-contest reports from further south says it was good there. The amplifier acted up on Saturday afternoon, and reducing the power from 700 W to 70 W for the rest of the contest. Losing 10 dB made a considerable impact, making it difficult to keep a frequency or to make it through a pileup. Nevertheless, I submit a log for High power
LT6MSA HP 10MVery nice contest, thanks to all operators! 73 Seba LU8MHL
