| MW1B | SA QRP 15M | 3rd major RTTY test,starting to get the hang of this now. Behind the scenes swearing at my operating cockups were much less. Band amazing all Saturday,but a massive fight to retain a run QRG. Had to beam East often to try to shift EU when I wanted to be running to the West.Downside of band in amazing shape I guess. Sunday started very poor.If Sat had been like Sunday I think I would have packed up and gone home! But late afternoon it opened right up again to the West with loads of HUGE W & VE sigs. All in all very enjoyable,helped by uncharacteristic good weather on my summit |
| MW9W | SA LP ALL | Wow conditions were amazing this year, however Murphy visited just when things were getting interesting! I was pleased when setting things up this year I had no real problems with equipment, even after an upgrade last month to Win11 everything was right with the world! Everything started well and as lots have mentioned the bands were in great shape. Even my least favourite band (40m) seemed to be kind to me and my new delta-loop for that band worked well. 10m was on fire and it reminded me of when I was first licensed 37 years ago and I thought the band would always be like that Hi! However Murphy was biding his time. Unfortunately for a couple of weeks prior to the contest I had been pretty busy at work which had obviously taken more of a toll than I realised. By 16:00 Sunday I was struggling to know how to work my station so decided to take a break to recover and set my alarm for 1.5hrs... I came to at 23:45 still sitting in-front of the radio with headphones on... I can tell you much bad language followed! I am blaming work, my XYL says its age but that can't be true? Still I made my best score ever, trying to be positive and ignore I might have beaten my Country record... Could'a/would'a/should'a ZZZZzzzzzzz |
| N0OEP | SO LP ALL | 20 watts portable |
| N0SMX | SO HP ALL | K4, KPA-500, KAT-500 EndFed wire @ 40ft |
| N0UI | SO LP 10M | Got set up Saturday morning, and had fun on 10M. Had good propagation into Africa, working Namibia and ZD7. (Great to work Gilbert (ZD7BG) after meeting him during the IARU.) Had propagation well after the DX local sunset to Africa and Europe. Also good propagation to South America for much of the daytime, and Japan rolled in after 21:00Z on Both Saturday and Sunday. Had brief decodes from New Zealand and the Philippines, but could not get them in the log. Thanks to the stations that answered my CQs. Nice to call and work a few stations, in addition to the S&P work. 73 de N0UI |
| N4IIT | SA LP ALL | First license 01-2023. Rookie class. First licensed 2023-01-10 as KY4UH |
| N4PSE | SO HP ALL | Fun time trying out a new IIIs amp. Amp is great- operator needs an upgrade! |
| N5SMQ | SO LP ALL | Had a GREAT time this year!! Was able to up my previous best score in 2022! |
| N6HI | SO QRP ALL | QRP 5 Watts or less to a 20 Ft. End-Fed Wire. All DX worked with 5 Watts or less. All US/VE worked with ½ Watt or less. 22 stations were worked with just 100mW. Really enjoyed the great condx on 10 meters. Tnx for your patience and the QSOs. Go Arizona Outlaws! -73- John N6HI |
| N6SPP | SA LP ALL | Some spreading over the Pole on 10 de EU, but generally good sigs |
| N7CKJ | SO LP ALL | The bands were MUCH better than they have been, for my past several operations. It made sitting in a folding chair, on and off for 12+ hours, actually worth it! |
| N7EPD | SA HP ALL | It is hard for me to stay focused on any contest using RTTY not my favorite mode and I think I get tired of clicking on calls with the mouse. I probably I enjoy the technical aspect of reminding myself how to get two RX windows and the setup of N1MM logger with the radio and RTTY engines working each time more than operating |
| N8URE | SA QRP 10M | Conditions on 10m were not as good as last year. There seemed to be less American and Canadian participation, or 10m was going so long this year that I couldn't hear many of them |
| N9OK | SA HP ALL | For some reason I always enjoy RTTY contests the best. This contest I was using a new-to-me Acom 2000A and a PGXL. What a nice combo, it made changing frequencies much easier than I've ever experienced. Also tried using N1MM without MMTTY (using 2Tone for transmission). Worked well and much easier to setup |
| N9SJ | SO LP ALL | Best score yet even with an oak-tree taking out the power on Saturday night |
| N9TF | SA LP ALL | 100 watts to 6BTV ground mounted. Missed most all daytime operating due to family visiting. From what I could tell during the very limited time I was able to play on 10 and 15, both bands seemed to be in good condition. I had a break in the family action Sunday afternoon for a short bit around 21:00UTC, and found 15m still open to EU and also heard and worked JA during this time frame. Now I wish our middle son would have scheduled his wedding a weekend earlier! Had fun in the limited time I had to play. Always a fun contest to play in. 73, Gene N9TF |
| N9WKW | SO LP ALL | Worked the contest from my car! Had to work the weekend, so my score was not quite as high as I wanted. A lot of fun, nonetheless! |
| ND2K | SO LP ALL | Great condx this weekend! |
| ND8L | SA LP ALL | Finally got on the air from my new home in The Villages. I was skeptical of an EFLW at 25' and 90 watts, but managed to snag the 4L on 40 meters. Wish I had spent more time in the chair and less time watching the Ryder Cup, though |
