First NA in log is W6IZT at 01:58z . Only in the morning,almost on our sunrise, there was a little opening, so the score on sathurday mornig was disapointment for us (also because we knew, that our friends and cocncorents had a bit more than us, thanks to beuty of real time GSM score checking). Only 470 Q and 250K pts was really below expected. We blamed cndx and bad antenna (never bad operators HI). During daytime QSO rate never dropped below 20 qso/hr. Thanks to EU's (mostly DL's and OK's) who digged for us during impossible hours. First JA in log was JA3YBK on sathurday at 17:47z. Others came troug only at 20:30z .First NA during second night was of course VY2ZM with exellent sig at 21:19z. After him VE2TZT and K1ZZ at 00:03z on sunday. Then, from 02:30 z to 06:39 z, when last 10 pointer N2ED was worked, we had some decent runs of NA stations. Sunday morning our log had abt 155 NA stations in the log, and the score was also promissing. During the day EU runs were not so good as saturday ones, but we managed to have no holes in the hour rates with zero contacts :). Sunday evening we had some very good openings to east, but the only multipliers we reached were 3W3W,YE1ZAT and VR2BG. No new states but at 21:53z the W1CSM was first new NA to call us. A the end, 1456Q's was much more than we expected after first night. With such modest equipment, we are really happy. HI's: The heavy MTP's who called us on our CQ:3A2MD,9M2AX,XU7ACY! Response on first call: 3W3W and VR2BG (Good ears Brett) Low's: BA4RF calling in "our face" for abt 2 minutes without hearing me and W3DQ, which we called for 10 min but all we got was another Erics CQ, so DC is not in our log. The final statistic shows: EU 84% NA 11% AS 4% All others:1% Thanks to all who made the qso with us and our apologize to not-heard ones.

Constructing the log into one whole is totally due to the expertise of my dear friend Mans 9h1gb who recovered the hard disk and N1MM logger, a rally resilent software which not only survived the punishment I inflicked, but pieced together a wholesome sane log from the pieces I had. I think my operating is improving, of course still a long way to go..but this time I did not have any major crises. Very sorry I mised NA early morning openings....this would have gived the log a more respectable shape......but I had to rig up another computer Ad Hoc at that time... Hope to be here again next year. John 9h1XT for 9H6A ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AA1K Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 514,972 Good conditions, and quiet the first two nights but some precipitation static the last two hours of contest on Sunday. Lots of activity spread out, worked some as high as 1895 kHz. Worked all 50 states. Missed VE4, VO2, VY1 and VE8 in Canada. 949 2-point QSOs 87 5-point 182 10-point The Breakdown: 5 South America 160 Europe 4 Africa 4 Asia (two JAs the first morning) 9 Oceania Station: FT1000MP with Inrad roofing filter and 400hz and 250 hz CW filters, Orion I for second RX. Multiple phased Beverage antennas for RX, 3 and 4 element vertical parasitic arrays for TX. Details at www.aa1k.us. Single 4-1000 amp in GG, about 1100 watts out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AA4FU Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 45,902 I wasn't planning on a serious effort for this one and didn't even turn on the radio until after 03:30 Saturday, but I had been reading up on some ideas for 160m antennas and decided to try one. I shorted the center conductor and shield on the coax feeding my old 80m dipole and it worked great. I fed it through the random wire binding post on my antenna tuner and was able to keep a low SWR for the entire band. Now I just need to get it higher in the trees. I managed to work 45 states, missing AK, HI, ID, ND, & WY. I heard one station from ND with a strong signal, but the pileup was huge. I also heard one from WY but he wasn't hearing me. I couldn't hear any stations from Europe, except for CU2A. Getting the antenna higher should help. Most of my time was spent in S&P mode, but I did have a few brief runs. My biggest surprise was having a NM station answer one of my CQs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AA4LR Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 25,380 Antennas: 15m shunt-fed tower Equipment: Elecraft K2/100 w/ KAT100 running 100 watts Comments: Just a bit of operating here and there. I was trying to fill out some of the missing states I need for 160m WAS. I managed to get WA confirmed, but no joy on the six remaining states. Mostly and S & P effort. I was really amazed at the level of activity, with CW stations going as high as 1880 kHz. Only DX was PJ2T, and KP4KE. Would have loved to have spent more time on the air. See you on the SSB part! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AA4V Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 157,728 Pretty good conditions for the test this week-end. I had only limited time to operate but made the best of it. Lots of very strong domestic stations covering up the DX with 9+40 signals and key clix. 250hz filters on the FT1000D and pennants made S&P an adventure. Some of the European stations operated above 1850 which seemed to be somewhat clearer air. Of course, the SSB guys up there made it interesting, as always. I was under the impression that Europe was basically limited to 1810 to 1850. Has anyone heard any of them above 1900? We have 100 kHz to 2 MHz that could be put to good use at contest time. Where was LA? See you all from KH6 for the ARRL CW and Phone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AB2E Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 119,412 Had a great time. Limited time on due to having to drive XYL to work both nights. Highlights were having Dale ZP6/N3BNA call in towards 0900GMT on Sat night (he was using 60W), and having about a dozen EU mults answer my CQs. Nice condx for the modest setup I was using. Operated from the GCARC club site on the 4H Fairgrounds in Mullica Hill. Antenna: G5RV-style half-wave dipole cut for 160, fed with 100ft of ladder line. No beverage or special listening antenna. Rig: TS850S to Dentron DTR2000L amp (1- 8877), Dentron MT3000A tuner for the dipole. Thanks and 73, Darrell AB2E ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AC6DD Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 107,352 Excellent DX conditions, this was easily going to be my best score ever in this contest. I was ready, everything was tested and working, no antenna experiments, just sit down and keep making contacts. The bad part is that I now have a new horrific noise in the N-E direction. Last week I located it it to be at a Water treatment plant located a couple of miles away. Hint: S9 + 20 noise spaced 6 KHz or so. VFD's! Even so I was able to work in between the noise most of the time. We had a storm and it rained most of the night, but the QRM was manageable, less so the rain noise. I worked 19 DX multipliers on the first night - good sign. CN2A had an excellent signal on the West Coast for more than 30 minutes, he was calling CQ for long times with no takers (around 07:30 Z). Excellent signals from JA and the Pacific. Just like many others I was unable to work BA4RF and BD1Z. On the second night conditions appeared to be even better. CU2A and EA8EA could be copied very early. I even heard an IK4 coming back to someone. Many stations on the band, a lot of them yet unworked. I just wish the VFD noise would go away. And all of a sudden BAM! - it is gone, the band is packed with stations and no noise. This is great! I can copy many new stations now. But wait! My amp is not working, and the UPS is beeping. (Due to previous experiences I now have a small UPS set up). What happened? I step outside, and everything is dark - the whole town is dark. I just hope the power comes back soon. I try to call a few stations with 100W, but only manage a contact with K2NV in NY. I figure I better save batteries, and only listen until the power comes back. I scan the band writing down stations to call later - two small pages. Than a storm hits and it is total wipeout - S9 +20 dB noise across the band. Pretty soon the UPS goes dead. I am now in the dark in a trailer on a pier in a storm. Perfect time for a beer and a sandwich, the power should be back any minute. An hour later still no power. I am freezing, so I decide to get in the truck and turn on the the heater. Things are getting better by the minute - the truck keys are locked inside the truck - no spare. By now I am walking around in the rain to keep warm. No power yet. No telephone, I am stuck here. After a while I see a car coming. By a lucky coincidence I am able to get out. It is 23:30 - still no power. On the way home I see a lineman crew working in the rain. It looks like someone hit a power pole with their car - took out the whole town and with it my contest weekend. Note: need to buy a generator. DX multipliers worked: PJ2, CE, VP5, V3, KH6, KP2, XE, EA, CU, CN, EA8, JA, ZL, T32, HP, KL7, VK, UA9, 3W, KP4 Heard, but not worked: BY, PY, FM Niko - AC6DD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AD4EB Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 75,584 Set a goal of 500 Q's. Fun contest, rates stayed high enought to keep it interesting. More noise than last year made it hard to hear the DX stations. Worked 28 coutries last year. Missed ID, WY, AK and HI, got half of the provinces. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AD6ZJ Class: Multi-Op LP Total Score = 23,472 I had 2 goal for this contest. Work at least 200 Q's and work Japan. I put up an inverted L since the last all 160 contest so my 100W wouldn't be waisted in the loading coil. Friday night was going ok but only 2 DX and I wanted to add a few more to my small DX total on the band. Sometime very early Saturday morning I decided to look at the cluster in hopes of finding DX. Problem was that the few DX in the spot had massive pileups going and I tried with no Joy. Did pick up a couple states due to packet so I had to change to multi. After I worked all I could copy on Saturday night I went to bed, about 1AM local. Set the alarm for 4AM and awoke to my best run of 26 Q's in an hour. My son woke up at 5:45AM so I tended to his needs sitting at 198 Q's in the log and 6DX but no JA's. By 7:01 local I had him settled down but I now had daylight. Sat down to find a few CA stations to round out 200. The first call I copied was JA3YBK. What a treat when he came back to me the first time! What good ears. Ended up with 201 Q's and 2 JA's. I had met my goals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AD8J Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 61,614 Only managed to work one CA station.

Due to a case of illness in Bernd`s family, we were not able to drive to Luxembourg and activate LX7I this year. We decided to participate at Bernds QTH, so he could look after his fresh operated wife and also do contesting in the nights. At friday we have built in an hour a "poor man's antenna" for 160m, a Inverted-L with 15m vertical and 27m horizontal and some short radials. We were very surprised, how good this antenna has worked. Of course this was no "wonderpiece" but we were able to reach nearly everything we've heard.

Setup: Icom 775dsp plus Ameritron AL1500 Antenna: Inverted L, with only 12 m high vertical section, plus 20 radials. RXing 2 beverages 200 m long non terminated towards 280º and 70º Must of the time making s&p looking for multipliers to increase DXCC band points. The main problem was the electrical voltage, the station was situated in a field house at the end of electrical line ( i supose), only 183 volts instead of 220 expected. Best moments since 3,00 utc the voltage increase up to 208 v. maximum..........what a luxury !!!!! Many many problems consecuence of that voltages !:-((((((((((( The antenna rarelly works extremly bad in east direction having problems to work EU stations and Asiatics, towards west was better working USA east and west coast and some Caribean and SA perfectly.

Propagation seemed to be quiet well specially to AS on sunday night. Was called by BA4DW and 3W3W for new-ones (#181). 9M2AX called also for mult. Missed any JA station on the band, no copy here. Not many from the Caribbean, PJ2T, NP4A and KV4FZ. Missed PV8DX for mult., heard him 559 and called for a while, but no response. 33 US/VE states, not bad but missed some "easy" ones. Best time here for US around my local SR, anyway signals not very strong. Thanks all for Qs and sorry to the ones I could not hear. 73, Josep EA6BF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: EA7NW Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 170,016 Thanks for a new amazing weekend. Again my modest dipole G5RV/M did an excellent job, with permanent qrm s9, but using all the filters and AIP of my TS-870s. In my greyline I listen ZL3WW 579, the first time that I copy New Zealand in Top Band. I called him with my 100 w and he copy me whithout problem and I think, "I can't believe it", but it's true (thanks greyline).Record of countries and states (30!!), and score, of course.Top Band is always a mystery.

Polarized 2 elements (VP2E) Vertical Quad North-South Vertical Quad East-West 3 Beverages (320 m to EU/NA, 200 m to VK and NA LP, 150 m to JA) Due to radar jamming in BY - low activity from Japan. I was operating part time. Alex EY8CQ operated about 30% of the time chasing new ones. I decided to pay attention to NA qso and New Ones this year so got Cluster as a second Op. Poor condition to USA. Highlights: 1. Super signal from NP4A but no qso. 2. Excellent signals from KV4FZ, VY2ZM, PJ2T, ST2A and good RX. 3. Award for best RX goes to UA2F team operated as CN2A. 4. Thanks for comming back to my CQ: 9N7JO, 3W3A, XU7ACY, 9K2HN, EA8EA, ZA/Z35M, YA/LY1Y and many others. 5. Great number of super operators. Can't list them all. Missed about 10 mults which I heard: IS0, GW, GU, NP4, YB, BY, VR2, DU, ZL, VK and KC1XX. Worked 12 NA right after the contest. 73 and CU on Top!

RX Antenna: HB Indoor multi-turns Hi-Q magnetic loop "vintage BCL style" No cluster: anyway the ADSL stops as soon as I TX on 160, requiring to reboot the modem... My first part-time effort in this contest(*) (I shared my time with REF-CW). My first motivation was to test the "just received" IC7000 in real contest situation (see my TRX review on http://www.eham.net/reviews/review/55517 ). However after the first night I switched back to the pro2, and re-installed my RX loop, the only RX antenna I have ever tried (must say that I have tried quite a few!) which really helps to reduce the local line-noise (turned once for all for the minimum noise which is NNE-SSW on all bands and with any kind of directional antenna). Did not expect to be able to work that many stations... especialy to be able to hear them ! The band was crowded from edge to edge, and even far outside (for us in France the band is limited to 1810-1850) and having a very narrow DSP filter on both rigs not a luxury. Did only S&P during the first night. Listening on the vertical, I could work almost everybody I could hear... After I put back the RX-loop many stations that I could clearly hear could not hear me anymore: good indication that I had clearly improved my reception... enough to afford a few CQ's... Quite a few new-ones; Well, I'll never be competitive from home on the top-band, but it has been fun to take part... CU next month from CN2WW (no noise over there)and congrats to the CN2A team for their score! Pat http://f6irf.blogspot.com/ http://cn2ww.blogspot.com/ (*) Because same weekend as REF-CW and BARTG RTTY. Furthermore I use to consider that 160m was impossible from home, due to the high level electrical noise generated by the 380kV line passing 250m away from my garden and the unsufficient space available to install beverages (RX antennas having a cardioid pattern like EWE, K9AY and others do not help, because, seen from home, the high-power line noise appears to come from 2 opposite directions) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: G3TXF Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 614,016 Operated only from dusk (1530z) Saturday to dawn (0800z) Sunday.

Started to run out a Beverage but condx on ground too rough to do safely. Heard well though... QSO's with 55 W's & VE's on the 50' high dipole. Also several Carib. and a PY. Briefly heard the 3W Sunday night but would never have gotten through the pile of EU. About 22.5 hours operating. If I fall asleep at work in New York Wednesday night I won't be able to tell if it's jet lag or the 160 contest! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: HA5JI Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 122,150 I was operating only on the first night. Condx was lousy.Best signal was from N8T and W4AN. In most european country t is illegal to transmit bellow 1810. From good multipliers were calling CQ bellow 1810. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: HA6FQ Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 123,772 My rig: TS-940s My ant: Slooper ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: HA6IAM Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 89,262 FT107M 50 W, Slooper ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: HB9CT Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 366,183 In the first activity with our new Contest-Club-Call HB9CT (Helvetia-Kontest-Gruppe) Phil, HB9FMU and myself, Stephan, HB9DDO had a lot of fun. We espicially enjoyed those 60 contacts with north american stations, most of them with good, some of them with astonishing signals. We're looking forward to meet you in more contests. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: I2WIJ Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 85,736 Each time I wonder at what I can do with just a windom for 80M!! I have even been so impertinent to call CQ! and they answered! Ah Ah Ah Ah! I'll do it again. 73, Bob, I2WIJ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: IK1YDB Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 606,670 A PARTICULAR THANKS To MY FRIENDS CARLO IK1HJS, TONY IK1QBT And EMILIO IZ1GAR THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED WITH ME IN THIS BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE. BEST 73's FLAVIO IK1YDB. http://digilander.libero.it/ik1ydb/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: IK3SSO Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 105,676 Time a lot little for contest, but is satisfied the same one..... 73 Ciao ..... Mauro IK3SSO. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: IQ2CJ Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 793,500 Great contest! Worked very exotic countries like DU9 or 3W! Quite good activity generally speaking. Tested a K9AY that needs some modifications to have directional features on 160m. In any case a very good alternative to beverage. Heard NL7Z without QSO but it is already a success to get his signal into Milan city. Worked only 40 states+provinces. Missed some states because stations had no good RX system while I was able to lsn them s5 into beverage (no preamplifier so real signal!). Tnx to the TOP BAND community for this fantastic week-end. QSL ok via buro & eqsl. 73's Luca IK2NCJ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K0EJ Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 137,522 just a Friday-nite entry. Condx to EU didn't seem great from SE TN but had a big surprise when ST2A called me at his sunrise! Missed ID, WY and KL7 for a one nite WAS. I heard an ID S&Ping but never connected and I see that WY(KO7X) was on - oh well. Used an Orion II->Henry 3K->sloping vertical. We added some radials recently which seemed to help. Thanks to Jeff/JNY and Scott/W4PA for letting me play with their toys. 73, Mark K0EJ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K0KT Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 201,840 Super conditions. Finally made WAS in a topband contest. Where was VE4? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K0RC Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 79,663 49/50 states - missed WY 08/14 provinces - missed LB, MB, NS, NU, NWT, YT I retired early on Friday night but stayed up longer on Saturday night (3:00 AM). Although my 160m inverted vee is known to be a cloud warmer, I even worked some DX this time! CE1/K7CA, CN2A, CU2A, EA7AJR, EA8EA, NH6XO, V31YN, KL7WV, and our Carribean friends PJ2T, KV4FZ, and NP4A. Thanks fellows! More fellows need to start using the W1VE scoreboard. Rick (WB8JUI) and I had another good race going on Friday. He pulled away with the lead that night while I was sawing logs in the bedroom! I never did catch up from the missing QSO's but we pretty much matched multiplier counts. I hope to see everyone in the Minnesota QSO Party next Saturday - Feb 3rd, 2007 - from 1400 ~ 2400 UTC. Join the fun! Visit www.w0aa.org for the full details, including a free logger. 73 de Bob - K0RC in MN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K0TV Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 356,865 Great contest again this year. Conditions on Topband were great again this year. Good luck to everyone who participated. Thanks for everyone who called in. At the start of the contest, we had a high SWR on the off center fed dipole. I finally traced it down to a bad connector. That’s going in the hall of shame here at K0TV. I’m not sure who put it on, but when I finally isolated it, there was a mass of carbon between the shield and center pin. We ran on the phased array while I fixed the connector. The first hour was just fantastic. I made 55 contacts in the first 30 minutes and N1IW got 66 in the second 30. All told 300 contacts in the first three hours. That’s a station best. The first evening, conditions weren’t too good to Europe and there were lots of EU spotted that we couldn’t hear or work until very late. The second night I was spotted by two Europeans who apparently couldn’t get through. I switched to the NE beverage many times but didn’t hear a peep out of EU until much later. Sunday evening we were hearing EU much better. Finally in the last few minutes, I heard 7X0RY on the spotting receiver and managed to hear him QRT just after the end without working us. Biggest pet peeve: Finding a clear frequency (for a few minutes), calling QRL a couple of times with no answer, starting a run, working a few people and then……. HAVING SOMEBODY OPEN UP WITHOUT CALLING QRL JUST 130 HZ UP THE BAND. Then they have the chutzpah to refuse to move when we ask them to QSY. Grrrrrr. MVP for this contest goes to WO1N for performance above and beyond the call of duty. Congratulations Ken. 73, Jerry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K0UK Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 74,200 Well per the thread on PPDXG I mostlikly made about half the Q's etall compared to N0KE and W0GG. Did what I could..Here the band was about noise free for my QTH. Just using and sloper from the 100ft tower toward JA. Worked one JA. I had a shot to the BS but one 7 station was dead set to work him and keep calling. He finally went QRT mabye his beverage wire was stolen Hi...It was fun to point and shoot for mults but lots of them I just didnt hear at all..So worked what I could..See you in the Sprints etc. PTL bill UK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K1EP Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 127,050 This contest started off great. I was S&P for the first few minutes until I found a place to run. I had the rate meter in triple digits for most of the first hour. The first hour I had around 95, which for me is probably a personal best. I run low power to a stealth wire in a condo here. The band was quiet and there was a lot of activity. I did notice that although my Q rate was running maybe 10% or more higher than previous years, my mults were down. I eventually caught up, but I was lacking a lot of DX. I heard many EU stations that just could not hear us. Now, being LP with a stealth antenna doesn't say much, but I recall trying to work a station when KC1XX was. The DX didn't even hear KC1XX and when they did, had to ask for several fills. All along, they were at least an S6 or 7 here. I heard a lot more than I could work. But I did get a new country on 160, CE, thanks! Back here in the states, I missed three states - NE, KL7, and KH6, as well as a few VE provinces that are usually easy, such as SK. Not sure where they were, but never heard them. I always have a problem with NE. I also had other distractions which kept me out of the seat too long. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K1GU Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 273,224 Had fun so played longer than expected. EU opening was nice surprise but I don't get it. I could hear some EU an hour before my local sunset still, I couldn't work them later when it seemed that the northeast guys were having no trouble at all. When I did work EU, it was like I was the only one on the planet who could hear the DX. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K1IM Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 170,150 Amp relay sticking in last several hours required many repeats for many of you at that time! 160m "L" worked very well being away from any towers that work as "suck-out's!" In spite of some rude operating noted on my run frequency, the contest was fun with the last state being worked in the last 2 hours. 73, Tom K1IM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K1KI Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 221,540 Nice conditions Saturday night - worked about 130 Eu. West coast USA signals good both nights. Wish I had spent more time in the contest! 73 Tom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K1LT Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 422,100 Conditions seemed poor Friday night, and much more normal Saturday night. I'm still looking for these conditions that are alleged to occur at the solar minimum. I enjoyed a short run of Europeans from about 0700 to 0745. I worked JA0QNJ Saturday morning for my first ever JA QSO on 160. One would think after 35 years of 160 contesting that I would have worked a JA before. Technically, K1LT has worked JA before, but K8ND was always the operator. I worked T32MO on ESP, so I'll be surprised if I'm actually in his log. HC1HC was the surprise caller. Missed easy multipliers 8P9NX and PJ5NA. Stumbled across 7X0RY during the last hour. Hope he was able to copy "OH".

This band sounded like 80M. Spent 4.5 hours Saturday night and had a blast. With the line noise now gone that had plagued me in past years, the Beverages actually did their job.

It was a lot of fun. I got disconnected a few times, Conditions were great, ended up running 100 watts to a 160 meter inverted vee at 51 feet. 327 QSO’s, 54 sections and 7 DX contacts. Really proud of getting KH7X in HI and picked up T32 in E. Kirabati, 73 de Paul K2DB ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K2TA Class: Single Op QRP Total Score = 36,400 First of all..thanks again to all ops who took the time for multiple exchanges to complete a QRP QSO on 160M! Especially K3JT who refused to give up...thank you sir! I actually made 2 QSO by CQ'ing..but only during the mid afternoon on Sunday when I could find a clear freq to park. Note for next year....don't waste time CQing with 5W on 160 during a contest. No EU's worked, no Carribean. Just VP9 and CN2. Was stunned to work CN2A. Best stateside DX was WA. Also surpised to grab WY and MT. I really enjoyed VE3MGY' soapbox comments. Brian - You look like you had more problems with weather balloons than Patrick McGoohan back in 1967! This is my first entry with the Hudson Valley Contesters and DXers club. Hopefully my QRP score doesn't hurt their group entry. Rig: K2@5W to full sized half wave dipole at 35 ft. N3FJP logging software. See you all next year! 73 de Tom K2TA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K2YR Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 232,032 About 15% better score and country total than last year. Installed Comtek switch to my 2 el inverted L array this fall, so now I can go north and south too. That really helped. Sorry to EU's calling, I still didn't get my Beverage(s)up. Condx were great though. And just a little reminder... the DX Window is 1830 to 1835!! And yes, there is, or at least there use to be a Window. Geeshh! Anyway, great fun. See you all next year. 73 -Carl, K2YR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K3AU Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 22,770 Limited time.

No receive antenna here, but was surprised how much DX I worked with my inverted L/16 radials each only 33 feet long/400 watts. Thanks for all the QSO's, it was a real blast. Becoming one of my favorite contests. paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K3WW Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 563,030 Think my best ever CQ 160, conditions seemed to improve throughout the weekend. I still miss the earlier start and finish. Good EU run just when I was ready to fall asleep at the rig late Saturday night. Slept each night for about 3 hours then checked sunrise. Missed KL7 VK/ZL etc. Tried K3NAs in ear monitors with real low audio and quieter than normal shack (for me), and ear protection covers. Ran the audio as low as possible, considering Im probably 20 db of hearing down from years back. Seemed to work. Had rcv antenna of choice in left ear and xmit antenna in right ear whenever running. Next phase is to go off the property with a beverage or 2 and bring in a guest op to keep going all night. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K4CZ Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 55,836 Prior to the contest, I had only made 1 QSO on 160 in the 2+ years since getting my license. On Friday, I decided to participate in the contest so I used my open wire fed doublet (45' high) as a Marconi T. I put down one ground radial Friday evening but added 7 more Saturday morning. Had some problems with impedence matching and RF in the shack which I need to resolve (had to keep my power output below 350w) but overall it worked great as both a rx and tx antenna. Had lots of fun...looking forward to getting on top band much more often. Thanks for the Qs. 73, Barry K4CZ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K4EU Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 100,375 Great start running with 155 Q's first hour and 211 Q's in first 83 minutes of the contest.... Big thrill having GJ2A, OM8A, K9FD/KH6 and V31YN call me. Did manage to put CE1/K7CA in the log on Saturday night after spending lots of time calling Alan on Friday night with no luck. Managed to work all states except for the three I never heard: ID, NV and KL7. Lots of activity and lots of fun in this one. Just once, I need for force myself to stay up from 0600Z to sunrise and see what can be worked. Next time (maybe)!!! Thanks for all the Q's. 73....//Steve K4EU FT-1000MP/Field QRO amp Inverted L ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K4KO Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 41,048 Attend the Tennessee QSO Party www.tnqp.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K4PI Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 484,158 Equip-FT1000MP->Alpha 76PA->1400 W out-> 4 Square with 90 ft verticals top load So crowded I normally only answered stations that called within +/- 50 hz as any further out you would be hearing the stations calling the stations on either side of you. Often the timing was just right making you think they were calling you. I'm sure I missed many that were off freq. The 250 hz filter with roofing filter and everything else on narrow made it livable. Missed working any new ones but seemed a lot worked the ST2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K4RO Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 90,374 Missed first 5 hours due to other obligations, then played through to the wee hours Sat AM. Couldn't believe T32MO answered my CQ! Wow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K4TD Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 295,290 This contest made me realize just how much work I still have to get done on my RX antennas. Thanks for all the contacts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K4VV Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 47,575 Fun contest. I put up the Inverted Vee at 85 feet in Snow on Friday, just in time. Works rather well. Limited time due to other commitments. Had a couple of slow but sustained runs, peaking about 90/minute. Mostly stateside and a few provinces. Good fun. FT-1000 MP and an ACOM 2000A amplifier. Next year for improovement. Jack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K4XU Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 113,245 I have never worked this many DX mults on 160m. Same inverted L, same amp, same ground radial system, just all are older - like me. Unbelievably loud signals from CE1/K7CA, VK6VZ/6 and CN2A. I had a great time. Thanks to all. 73, Dick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K5BG Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 165,396 Limited operating time due to flu bug. Conditions seemed good from NTX with NO QRN for a change. Tnx to all for a nice contest. 73, BG ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K5GO Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 425,004 I had a great time operating and spending the weekend at the N5ECT/WD5R QTH. Doug and Marlene are fine folks and it would be fun being there even if the station wasn't equipped with a dozen beverages in a quiet location. Score was approximately the same as last year. Most of the receiving the first night was on a modified R-4C. I guess I never got used to a transceiver after using C lines for so many years, not muting the receiver, and knowing exactly where I was transmitting relative to stations calling. The downside to listening to your own signal is having the volume turned up listening for those weak ones and your own signal pounding the ear drums all night. I wanted to preserve what hearing I still have and moved forward in technology the second night to just using the IC-765. The activity level from JA is not what I would expect. On occasion a JA would call with a very good signal - but never even a small pileup. The highlight was a little run of Europeans Saturday night that lasted about an hour. 101 Europeans in the total log and about half of them in that time period. 73...Stan, K5GO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K5NA Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 177,444 I only operated part-time to chase DX and have some fun.

Wish I had more time to play. Got on at 0303 and was no doubt needed fresh meat! Had an unbelievable 163 first hour! I think that is the best cw hour I have ever had! 73 nz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K5ZD Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 151,740 Was on a plane back from Europe when the contest started so missed Friday night. Most of my operating was a 3 hour stint Sat night. Worked total of 90 Eu so bands must have been good! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K6GEP Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 1,222 I really didn't plan to operate this contest because I don't have an antenna for 160. Conditions seemed superb Saturday night. I was amazed at how quickly I could work stations with 100W into my 80-10 meter inverted vee up 20 feet. Being a night-owl, I think I might like 160. Since this Top-band season is almost over, I don't think I will put up an antenna for 160. Remind me next November to put one up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K6LRN Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 29,315 Part time operation with remains of inverted 'L'. Tree holding one end fell last Feb and haven't gotten around to fixing/improving situation. Thanks to all for Qs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K6NA Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 34,100 Never heard West Virginia, but it was nice to work the 3W in Zone 26. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K6NV Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 26,949 By far, my best effort ever. I need to keep reminding myself on these 160m contests that Friday night needs the biggest effort, I got tired and bailed at a little after mid-night. Saturday night was a struggle for each q. Could not get a decent run going, seems I had already worked everyone. Like the "Stew" I had very few q's east of the rockies. Am also fighting a power line noise problem here which I am sure makes me an alligator to some. Going to start thinking about a receive antenna. I do like these 160m contests and always have a good time.

Antenna mod worked well, tnx N6ND for the suggestion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K7BG Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 58,608 Part time effort. Got back from business trip to San Diego Friday eve so got a late start. Then had out of town basketball games Saturday night. Still had fun with limited time on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K7LAY Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 74,256 Missed only VT for a mult(WAS). JA and BY were tough this year as well the VK, ZL Path for them due to QRN. T32MO was hard to find under the stateside QRM and seems he was search and pounce when we did catch him. Better conditions Friday night compared to Saturday. Fun Contest. See you next year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K7OX Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 199,584 Great conditions both nights. Knew it was going to be a good year when 9 hours into the contest I had WAS with K1DFT calling in from RI. Also completed WAC for a first in any 160 contest. Thanks for all the Q's and see you in the SSB test next month. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K7RAT Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 292,655 The Dragon ate our Asian QSOs. Down about 50 or 60 QSOs with Japan. However, we improved on the overall QSO total from last year by about 50 QSOs - but they weren't 10 point QSOs, so our total score is down about 10 percent. No sign of VE4. Only a couple of European QSOs in the log. Maybe NEXT year we will get a decent opening to Europe during the contest. Yeah - right. Many thanks to Steve, K6AW and Ward, N0AX for making the trip to Boring again this year. We sort of knew what to expect this time. Rigs - FT1000MP Mark V with 2 x 3-500Z (Viewstar amplifier) - TS850 (spotting) Antennas - 80 foot tower with gamma match - and about 45 quarter wave radials Multiple beverages pointing five directions (30, 70, 120, 250 and 300 degrees). Coffee: Peru Organic (provided by Boring Bark) Food: Wan Lun Chinese Takeout and Nuts on Sports Pizza (delivered) Cats: 3 Dogs: 1 Daughters: 3 Wife: 0 (on vacation in Mexico - had to wait at airport for 30 minutes so I could finish the contest before leaving to pick her up. Made five more QSOs). Distance from spotting inverted vee and transmit antenna: 90 feet Power dissipated in 50 Ohm dummy load in the front of the attenuator to protect the spotting receiver when transmitting with 1500 watts: 50 watts (estimated based on how warm the Cantenna got). Number of N2N* stations worked: 3 (N2NL, N2NT and N2NC). Number of stations worked using topband chat page only: zero. Number of stations worked using a Vibroplex bug: 2 No small animals were harmed during the course of this contest, except perhaps a few earth warms who were toasted near the radials. A Boring Amateur Radio Production - with support from the Northern California Winery association and the Vashon Island Stationless Ham Repository. Directed by Bert and Bo (the cat). Sountrack available on Rat Records. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K7RE Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 98,280 Decided not too kill myself this time out, so quit each night when the rates got very low. Some southern DX worked, andwas able to give out lot's of SD mults., Total time around 14 hours. Tough to score high compared to others on the east coast of the US who can work many more mults. from EU. Exasperating that I never heard WY, the eastern border of that state is only 7 miles away from this QTH! Amazing results the first night, In first 2 hours I had 44 states and provinces, and 143 QSO's in the log with VP5 and VP9. Who says that one can't work all states in one weekend? (Except for WY of course!). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K7RL Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 105,190 So many great contests, so little time. I was only able to get on the first night and found conditions quite good. The band was unusually quiet which made operating a pleasure, especially considering I lost the use of my RX antennas due to storm damage. I apologize to those I could not pull out of the muck, including DX stations G4AMT, SM3CEW, and any others. A special thanks to R1FJT, T32MO, RW1ZA, and NH6P that fought the QSB waves to make it into the log. I can't help but think many more QSOs would have been possible with good RX antennas. Something to work on. One other observation: In the early hours before sunrise, working in the lower JA window, several loud JA stations sent their call on my frequency. I'd immediately respond, but it was clear they were working someone else I could not hear. After changing frequencies, it kept happening again and again. Perhaps these stations were operating split? Or maybe another layer of stations underneath me not readable here? Any seasoned CQ WW 160m contesters that happen to read this, I'd love to know the answer. It was a bit frustrating not to get those loud 10 pointers in the log. Thanks to all the great ops for the Q and the fun! 73 de Mitch, K7RL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K7TJR Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 179,512 Got off to a great start with S/P. It took a while before K7ZUM could drive the 150 miles from his work to get here to take over the OP chair. We have never used a spotting Rx and will be looking to do that next year. All the Rx antennas seemed to be working well. I guess I needed more potassium or something this year as I had a hard time dealing with the normal things like frequency fights and people that just will not stop transmitting right over the top of DX stations. I was really pleased with all the stations from KH6, V73, ZL,and 50 Ja's this year. All the Rx antenna work payed off. Ken could not be here for the second night so at 4:00 a.m. local I folded up and gave up and was not there for the Sunday sunrise. Our States and Countries were up but overall Q's were down for a lower score this year. Just a thought but if some of you guys would just back off a little and stop transmitting the DX stations could work many times over more stations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K7WP Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 23,766 FT1000MP, AL811, HF2V ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K7ZS Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 57,969 Always fun to hear Top Band so busy! Inverted L played well, and surprised that it heard as well as it did. I am sure I could have done better with a receiving antenna, of course. I wonder how many contacts BA4RF could have made if he heard 1/10th of the west coast stations that were calling! Was very loud in Oregon! Thanks to all those that hung in there to make the log of my hearing impaired station! 73 Kevin K7ZS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K8AJS Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 86,943 The band was nice and quiet Friday night, noisier on Saturday night, and very noisy on Sunday. Didn't hear any EU on Friday, had some good periods Saturday night; not a lot, but got a few multipliers outside this continent. Sunday evening I didn't care, spent the last 2 and a quarter hours calling CQ and working whatever heard me. Thanks to all those who worked me, especially the DX stations who spent a lot of time in some instances to pull me through. They were pretty loud here; apparently I wasn't always as loud on the other end.

Four random-laid radials and alligator clips to my neighbor's chainlink fence with a long ground rod on a 100'x150' lot act as the ground system. Need a better rcv system for the weak DX. Found I could hear much better with 6 or 12 DB attenuation in rcvr versus a preamp due to noise. Actually heard a couple JA's on Sunday AM, but couldn't figure out where they were listening. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K8GG Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 397,532 Plenty of activity this year, but the DX openings seemed to be shorter and somewhat attenuated. Copied some Europeans 559 or better but could not get their attention. Some openings peaked at just after sunset or well before sunrise. Where were VE4 and Idaho? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K8GU Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 2,575 I think I spent more time getting the Inverted-L built and tuned-up than I actually did operating. I finally bought an antenna analyzer...best $150 I ever spent!

Except for a quick start and an unusually active JA/VK/ZL run around 0900Z Sunday, this one will be easy to forget. Major computer malfunction, in the form of a hard drive fatality, occurred near Saturday sunrise. It occupied most of the time I should have been sleeping on Saturday. I finally kluged together a laptop to get me thru Saturday night and Sunday morning. Fortunately that worked flawlessly tnx to N1MM software and K8IA haywire, etc. Unfortunately, I fell asleep for three hours that I had planned to be my best. This was my first HP cw effort in a major 160 contest and, frankly, I may never go back to LP on 160. The vertical was playing well and with the extra amp db's I felt pretty good about where I stood in the mix. A personal best score for me. Looking forward to more next year. Right now, I am beat. I'm looking forward to a really quiet rest of the weekend! ;-) 73, Bob K8IA near the Superstition Mountains Arizona USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K8IR Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 99,594 Here we had the best 160 meter conditions of any contest weekend this season. Only missed ID for WAS. Worked my first KL7 on Topband. At times there was considerable QSB. Thanks to those who were patient while I waited for their signal to peak above the noise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K8MR Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 44,876 A Friday night/Saturday morning operation.

Murphy showed up 13 minutes into the 'test -- amp blew a fixed cap in the tank circuit. While opening the case to investigate, I was formulating a plan to re-start as low power, but was lucky to have an appropriate replacement part on hand.

European openings were good, but they did not seem to last as long as last year. How can you not have fun when ST2A answers a CQ. My apology to the many JA stations that I was unable to copy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K9GY Class: Single Op QRP Total Score = 3,072 The XYL comes into the shack and says "What kind of weirdo antenna you got up now?" HAH! Used a long wire antenna approx 120-130 feet long. Most of it was about 25 feet above ground except for the last 10 feet which was less than 6 feet from the ground. W5TM in Okla wins the ears award. He got the call/exch with no problem. 2nd place was W5UN. Even got some "SMC" sent so that was cool. Worked: NY, NJ, MD, AL, GA, TN, VA, AR, LA, OK, TX, MI, OH, WV IL, IN, WI, CO, IA, KS, MN, MO, ON, SK Lots of good ears/antennas out there to be able to receive my signal! FT-817 WriteLog 73, Eric K9GY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K9MUG Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 116,497 The new tree-borne antenna was only on paper Until Thursday, but with the help of three good friends,we raised(mostly they) the antenna to its final height of about 66 feet. It is basically a dipole loaded at top and bottom. The results were better than I imagined and the best I've ever done in this contest.I was having so much fun chasing mults and dx, that I paid little attention to the score. Thanks to all who suffered through the repeats and noise to make a qso with me. I also owe VE3BWL an apology. He kept correcting me on his call and I kept sending it VE3BWL(I thought) this went on through several cycles and I'm sure he was very frustrated, as was I. The next qso said that I was dropping the first dit of the V. In the headphones, I couln't tell. Apparently the relay in the amp is getting sloppy, and opening and closing late. Sometimes I had to ask for repeats because calls were coming in before the changeover relay was open, and i missed the first letter. If it seemed wierd to you, I apologize. What I heard in the headphones and what you heard over the air were apparently different sometimes and I definitely will fix that. 73 to all, Darrell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K9NR Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 319,033 Great conditions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K9NW Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 306,188 About 10 hours each night.

This weekend was a fantastic display of propagation. The contest started out slowly for me - I spent the whole first hour running up and down the band doing S&P for just 30 contacts. Grrr. It got better as things went along: VK6VZ/4 and ZL6QH were peaking 579 here several times, and were worked as soon as the crowds thinned a bit. Some challenges: A small front moved thru and the wind turned the balloon vertical more over then up, the tuner went into spasms trying to keep up until things stabilized. Next, a kind soul clued me in the not only was my K2 ripe with key-clicks; it had a nasty chirp too. A quick 25 minute pit-stop ensued to pull the rig apart and tighten the final transistors' heatsink screws. Thought I did that well enough before! Just glad I had read about that malady on the Elecraft reflector at some point and knew what the cure was. It is a long four-wheel drive down from the cabin and back to Bozeman to bum a replacement rig from a ham friend! ;-) Conditions seemed very stable with little ot no QSB/QRN. Life is GOOD! Best, Gene, KB7Q ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KC1XX Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 671,875 We arrived Friday morning to survey the damage from the recent ice storm that hit New England a couple of weeks ago. In all, we managed to escape the storm with just minor damage here and there. On major close call: a very large pine tree fell within 10 feet of the NE tower of the 160 Meter 3 element array. Somehow, it managed to avoid the guys and the tower itself, except for perhaps a glancing blow. With one fallen raised radial and two Beverage issues resolved, we were ready to do some contesting! We recently began building a W8JI Broadside-Endfire RX vertical array (http://www.w8ji.com/small_vertical_arrays.htm at the bottom of the page). It is currently working in the endfire configuration towards the NE as well as SW. With one weekend of observation, we found that it out-performed the Beverages consistently. Conditions were good, but not all that great, on the first night. We never quite got a good European run going. The second night was much better working nearly 200 10-pointers. Happy to hear Nodir, EY8MM, heard us, but we're unhappy that we couldn't pull him out. Hope you still had a good time, Nodir! In all, this is always a fun contest! Congratulations to everyone for their efforts!!! As always, thanks to the Strelows for the use of the station this weekend. Thanks for all the contacts!

I did not read the rule before the contest and thought that there would be a single-op assisted mode, but there is not. Anyway, I played with then when I had time. Just using a dipole worked US without any problem. Not much DX... heard some DX but could not get through with my measely 200 Watts. Thanks for the Qs and catch you in the next one.. Jim/KC4HW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KD2MX Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 32,450 I suffered an identity crisis about halfway through the contest. I started out as a qrp entry. Last year was my first on top band and I could only run qrp without lighting up our microwave oven. Back then every state was a new one for me and I did ok. This year I have a better antenna and can run my full 100 watts like a little, big gun:), but I still wanted to see how I'd do with qrp. Friday evening was very busy. Went to bed for a few hours. Checked out the action early am but I didn't hear anything too exciting and went back to bed. Stuck with qrp all Saturday and lost a few multipliers. Conditions seemed better on Sunday morning. The band was open to the west coast and I soon learned that I still can't work that far on 5 watts. I was sytmied on multipliers, having already missed a couple "close" ones. I still hadn't worked OR, WA or CA, and OR was booming in. I was just getting a few dits into OR, but not enough to make it. So I took a deep breath and turned the dial to 100w and became a low power entry. Still it was not so easy but I added 10 multipliers (and 4 new states) without too much problem. No CA though, worked a few OR and NV but didn't even hear CA, which was strange. I know I missed a couple of states early on. MS really hurt. Heard one MS and he had quite a pileon and my qrp didn't cut it. I got some of the multipliers back but I was down at least four. Oh well, I beat my score from last year by a considerable amount and bettered my qso total, just by my qrp contacts which satisified my starting goal. Quite a few EU stations early Sunday evening, even managed to work one! I hope everyone else enjoyed the weekend as much as I did. 73...Paul/kd2mx ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KD4D Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 495,516 Good conditions and great fun! Thanks again to John Evans, N3HBX, for letting me use his station. The K3LR array seemed to work much better this year. I worked several new countries on 160. 9J2BO, T32MO, P33W, OH0Z, UR4LRG, and ST2A called me! :-) 7X0RY and 9H6A were also new ones on top band. I concentrated on DX multipliers. My total was much better, but I did not have nearly enough 10 point QSO's! More mults and QSO's than last year but almost the same score. Never heard KL7 or VE4.

Thrilled that CN2A heard me qrp! I should have had more air time, but between the Bush and Govnr Spitzer (NY) new Healthcare policies, I had tons of analytical reading to do for work (www.nyp.org). Too bad. Elecraft K2 @ 5 watts. 1/2 wave dipole with center at 45 feet. This rig's recvr never ceases to amaze me. de Doug KR2Q ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KT0R Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 100,607 What good conditions both nights. Nice and quiet. Just a part time effort here. Did not get on until late both nights. Nice to hear some Europe, but not many got in the log. No Rx antenna and so so X-mit antennas make hard for DX. I tried my 80 meter sloper thtough the tuner and it worked. That was a big surprise it was nice to have a verticial so what. It would never take power before. If I went over a KW then the amp would trip out, but still helped on a few qso's. And my 80 meter cage dipole also loaded with tuner with a good bandwidth. And of course my zepp with the cheese slicer worked well too. Some great signals out there and always fun to hear everyone on. Hope to hear some of you in the MN QSO Party this weekend. Saturday February 3, 2007 Minnesota QSO Party. Ten active mobile stations will again activate all 87 MN counties this year.

Was behind in mults (-7) and ahead in Q's (+60) after first day, compared to last year. Was nice JA opening first morning, but EU was better last year. Have ritched my goal of going over 400K and improving my last year W0 record. Have heard few big W0 this year-quite competitive. Thanks everyone, 73 de KU1CW, Alex ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KU8E Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 137,748 500 watts and an Inverted L just didn't cut the mustard with the "Big Boys" on the topband. I heard at least 30 more countries that I didn't even work. On a positive note I did work my first JA on the topband - JA0QNJ early Saturday morning. Next major contest will be PJ4/KU8E in ARRL DX CW. Plan on spending lots of time on 160 when I am down there starting Febuary 13th. 73, Jeff KU8E ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KV8Q Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 123,924 Started the contest using my Ten-Tec Jupiter and was amazed that I was able to run some 220 QSO's in the first 2 hours of the test with my 100 watt signal to my 102' G5RV @ 45 feet. Life was going great until I got a report that my signal sounded terrible! I confirmed this report and shutdown at 1230Z with 600 QSO's in the log. I was not sure what was wrong with the Jupiter and headed off to get some sleep. I then hooked up my spare rig, a TS930Su, that afternoon and got going again at 2215Z. Heard lots of EU stations Saturday night but they couldn't pull out my 100W signal. Things were going very well until I got another report that my signal sounded terrible! Once again, I was able to confirm this locally and shtudown again with 775 QSO's in the log. Apparently, my 80 meter G5RV was playing havoc with the radios on 160 meters even though all indications showed that the tuner was showing a 1:1 to the rig. Still not exactly sure what the issue was but I am now doing some digging. Once I find and correct the problem, I plan on being back next year and keep Murphy busy with something else. Maybe I can even improve things so the folks in EU can hear me a bit better! By the way, does this constitute a new version of SO2R operation? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KY7M Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 27,840 FT-1000 MP, Alpha 76A, Inverted L. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: LA7MFA Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 745,100 This was the first time I have worked in this contest. Real fun! The second night was very tough, since most of EU station have allready been worked. It was hard not to fall asleep! Never worked so many QSOs on 160m in my life! Best 73 de Lech, LA7MFA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: LN3Z Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 851,292 Great contest. Jon (LA8HGA) was a rookie on lowband contest, but has after this been bitten by the "low band virus" :) We had FUN - but still focus on doing our best. Second day rates falling dramaticly, but that was no suprise. I never thought we could work som many EU stations, and particular DL. Think we made some 220 DL stations !! Only ONE Japan stn worked, and condx no good that way. USA: Well the condx was on and off, on and off, all the time. No really big signals. Our TX antenna had a swr ratio from 2:1 in 1810-1845. It would have been an idea running high in band, abt 1870-80, but swr and power regulations makes it difficult. Guess another TX antenna for the "high end" would be possible next year...that will help out the US coping us. W5-6-7 was not heard - sad but true. Under good condx I can easily work that area on 160m. First night we discovered that signals sounded to low on the USA beverage. Signals were ok on tx, so we thought maybe signals were skewed path. However, checking the dualwire beverage in daylight discovered that the USA beverage was hooked up with the south east wire......what a sight!!! A moose or something must have caused that, but it was easy to fix, and we had it ok again. Probably lost a few contacts due to this. (Murphy is a reliable fellow) The rx ants worked out just perfect. If anybody ever beleive the dont need rx antennas on 160m - come and visit during a contest. I beleive we worked 3-400 qsos more than we would have without them. In the end of the contest, when the rate is at the lowest, 9N7JO and 7Z1SJ called us !! Thanks a million !! Hope we did not step on anys toes. Hard to find free frequencies - and we were stepped on a couple of times. I guess its just a matter of whats paying off, hold on to your QRG, s/p or finding another QRG. Heres the gear list: RIG: IC-756PRO3 AMP: Command HF-2500 Tx ant: Titanex V160S 27,5 meter vertical RX ant: Dual wire beverage antennas 1100 feet long - 4 pcs NW/NE/SE/SW Software: Wintest 3.8 Think maybe we made a norweigian record multi op for this contest ?? 73 Paul - LA6YEA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: LY2IJ Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 742,424 Poor condx or this contest becoms domestic. Strong Caribeans, but little activity; strong NA's on 2nd morning, but no run; strong JAs, but jammed = only 1 in log; few nice mults at the end. Amazing 240 DL's! TU all, 73 Arunas ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: LY9Y Class: Single Op HP Total Score = 524,784 Sorry no space for good receiving antennas, poor state/DX mult. 73 Jurgis LY2CY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: LZ9R Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 158,661 TS850SAT,100w Two Inv.vees crossed to NW/SE , NE/SW Thanks for super contest and for all the QSO and new ones. This was the best that I can do with current setup.Inv.vees performed well instead of their low height - 10m. at top and few centimeters at ends over the ground.VERY high winds do not allow for more height. Some easy mults missed as they do S&P - IS0,GU,GW,EX etc. Could not catch any JA due to high QRM.3W3W was VERY loud here but 100w are not enough to get thru EU big pile-up. Only NA that heard me was VY2ZM (first call!) and KC1XX. Heard but not worked :W4AN,N8T,K1LZ,K9DX (clear 599 at saturday morning) and many others but these were 599+. Have 9 new DXCC in the bag - ST2A,EA8EA,CN2A,7X0RY,EY8MM&EY8CQ,7Z1SJ,CU2A,YT3B during and 4K9W before contest.Now total 78 DXCC worked on Top band. My spiderbeam was totally destroyed from Hurricane Cyrill.Now it is dismantled and will be replaced soon with hardened spider cross.Push-up mast survived without problem 150km/h high winds ,as ole trusty quad and other antennas did with little damages. Hope to be in WPX RTTY with full 30Hours effort,with focus on low bands. Fingers crossed as I am on call that weekend. All received QSL's will be answered same way via Buro or direct in next three weeks. Thanks for all QSL's.I'am too old fashioned so forget about EQSL's. 73 de Nasko,LZ9R(LZ3YY) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: M3CVN Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 60,760 Verry happy with end result.

JAs were QSX around 1940 Khz which is a new twist but they seemed to be able to hear up there and escape the Chineese dragon (OtHR). Some atmospheric noise the first night. Rig Icom PROII and Cliperton L 800w, 1/4 wave sloper from 55 ft tower on a small hill and low dipole. More antenna for next year including some RX antennas that really work.

Had some fabulous runs, with mini pileup conditions at times. What a Hoot! Unfortunately, I was time-restricted this weekend, so only the brief foray into contest heaven. Thanks for all the fun, boys. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: N0YY Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 45,628 Rig FT-1000MP Inv-L @ 70' WriteLog 10.55D Always a fun contest. Had a unique problem with broadcast band birdies all over so it made copying weak signals a challenge. Still an opportunity to add a couple more to the DXCC total. It's always nice to be called by DX even when you are low power - so it just goes to show that the antenna works at least a little bit!

The additional 90 radials added to the Inverted L seemed to work well, although conditions Friday were pretty bad. Didn't stay up late and didn't get up for the morning Pacific run. Saturday night was much better but working Europe was still not up to normal. Picked up 4 new band countries including T32MO who answered my Sunday morning CQ. 160m is a great band!

Poor DX condx on the first night, but great the second night. Tradition says I break something every year in this one, so I blew the vacuum relay in the Titan for good measure. 73, Andy N2NT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: N2VW Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 46,800 Not bad for a suburban lot 90 x 100 feet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: N2WN Class: Single Op LP Total Score = 204,204 Well the antennas stayed up this time, although the wind was brutal Saturday night (actually pretty stiff right now). I'm greatful that I didn't have Brian VE3MGY's problems (good job, nice signal!). Learned something as well, the simple wire antenna worked as well as the aluminum monstrousity (and a heck of a lot easier to put up and keep up!) Tried using the 80M short beverage for Rx, but I really prefer the 80M marconi (good S/N ratio IMHO) Heard lotsa Elecrafters on, looks like some great scores (gg Tom k2ta!) Had a great 30 minute run around 0600Z Sunday that coverd Europe, Alaska and the Hawaii (a virtual plethora of HI ops!), and they all were excellent signals! Added 8 new countries and one new zone, missed WAS this time (heard ND in S&P never did hear ID!) There were a few signals that were too weak to copy (not too many) all in all conditions were quiet and propagation was great. Although I didn't work any, heard a few JA's, some were quite strong. With the density of big signals at the low end of the band, it's a challnge to pick out the DX (MUCH more good DX out of the window than in it). Have yet to hear a VK on the Top Band, and I know you're out there ;o) Some new operators on CW (slowed down quite a bit for several) which is great (welcome folks!) Sounded like there were signals clear to 1890 most evenings, considering how crowded the band was it seemed to go smooth for all. Thanks to all the DX for digging out my lil' signal and thanks to all the fine ops for the QSOs!
