WAG Soapbox built 10-31-2011 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: 5B4AIF Class: SO Mixed HP Total Score = 551,250 Many none german stations called loosing me many contacts. Great turnout from german stations, well done. Enjoyable contest, I got a german station saying in J DOK but did not count it. Nice to get all mults from here. 10m was just great could of stayed all day but needed other bands aswell. Thanks to all those who called me with fantastic signals even with 100w and nice to see some qrp 5w stations aswell. 73 all Norman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AA8IA Class: SO Mixed LP Total Score = 13,860 Thanks to everyone for the Qs. All of the 10m activity was great! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: DD8SM Class: SO Mixed HP Total Score = 177,071 This was the first contest that I worked the whole time(24hrs) before my new transceiver Kenwood (TS590). Just wanted to test my equipment to see if they can handle the hard test. Working conditions was very good at times. Thanks to all that worked me. Hope to see you in the next contest. David ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: DF2CK Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 950,000 Great condx and vy good participation made this a contest full of fun.

Had to close the station early. :( 73 Helmut ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: DH4PSG Class: SO Mixed LP Total Score = 176,319 That'S a contest with fun for a "little pistol" station. All bands were workable. Thanks to picking me up to W6AFA, K7LR, HO1X on the higher bands - and of course to the friends from RA-AS, too! Working horse was 40m, from 20m to 10m I've to do mostly/only s&p, that's the antenna situation!! Thanks to all OPs with good ears (and good antennas). After the contest is before the contest! 73 Peter, DH4PSG Rig: TS-850S, 100 watt, 150ft.

Had a lot of fun in this one, after long time no contesting for me. This was the 1st fulltime contest in 2011 for me. Especialy the first 10 hours were great with 1000 Qs. Realy nice to see 15 and 10m alive again. nearly forgot how it is to work DX on 15 and 10m. Hope this condx will stay or get even better :-) Thanks to Uli, DL8OBQ for the use of his Acom and for moralic suport on sunday. This is a new claimed DL-Record and I hope it will hold on after log checking. Thanks for the fun and see soon again on the bands ! 73 de Heiko, DK3DM Station: http://www.da2c.de ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: DL1A Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 3,389,256 Thanks to Toffy, DJ6ZM for his excellent hospitality! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: DL3EBX Class: SO Mixed LP Total Score = 28,614 Only abt 3h on the air due to lots of family committments. Worked all QSOs with 100W (IC706) and a 20m wire. Nice to have some QSOs into Stateside on 10m with this hardly existing antenna :-). 73 Frank ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: DL3YM Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 270,576 Great condx. It sure has been a long time since I was last called by W6 and W7 on 10m while running low power. Daytime OP hours were significantly reduced as I had to play Soccer with my boys, wx simply was too good to stay inside. Maybe I will manage a really serious approach next year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: DL6IAK Class: SO Mixed QRP Total Score = 348,160 Great contest even with 5W you can touch the world, as long as willing to listen to you hi ... best personal result ever, TRX K3 internal tuner (great RIG), antennas portable 2*20m double zepp and fullsize vertical for 40m and fixed OB 9-5 at abt 10m for the higher bands. 73' Michael ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: EC1KR Class: Multi-Op HP Total Score = 497,652 First participation in WAG Contest from ED1R Station (www.ed1r.com), we made this Contest with fantastic Team Leader, our friend Tobi DH1TW. See you on CQWW-DX-SSB who ED1R. WAG 2011 TEAM (DH1TW, EC1KR, EC4DX and EA4AOC) www.ec1kr.com www.ed1r.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: F5IN Class: SO CW HP Total Score = 191,130 Powered by Win-Test 4.8. http://www.win-test.com http://perso.wanadoo.fr/f5in IC -7400 + SB220 / TL922 160m >> shunt-fed tower (24m) 80m >> top loaded delta loop 40m >> 2 ele monob beam (dxbeam.com) 20m >> 5 ele monob beam (dxbeam.com) 15m >> 5 ele monob beam (dxbeam.com) 10m >> 6 ele monob beam (dxbeam.com) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: G0CKV Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 274,833 I managed to work a fair number of multipliers on 10 and 15 in spite of the pretty short skip distance between SE England and DL and lacking the beams and power to attempt serious backscatter. K3, WinKeyer and WinTest were stable as always. Antennas were very low-key. A temporary push-up GRP pole on the rear lawn supported a Cushcraft D5 trap dipole for 10-15-20 only 5m up and an inverted V for 40 with the apex at 7m up. An old low inverted-L was tuned to 80 - this antenna is literally invisible having disappeared into the suburban greenery but LP to this antenna doesn't set the trees on fire (or the bands for that matter). The old 1mm wire does tune and I can make qsos so I guess it is still out there somewhere. It is quite satisfying to be able to have great fun with such humble sky-wires. Almost all was S&P. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K2SX Class: SO CW HP Total Score = 92,160 Sure didn't expect 10 meters to be my biggest band but nice to see the band come back. Thanks for all the QSOs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K4MM Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 109,926 Rig : TS-2000, 90 watts & MFJ Versa Tuner. Antennas : Dipoles and 40M 1/4 sloper (NE) Very nice contest. First time I was serious. Thanks to all who worked my skinny signal. Please QSL direct or via LoTW. Danke. Tom Colyard K4MM Port St Lucie, FL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K5LH Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 37,170 Amazing openings on 10 and 15 meters. Lower bands seemed disturbed with much flutter on signals. Never worked districts G, J and L. Otherwise great participation and discipline. Thanks for the contacts. Rig: Omni V (90 W), wire dipoles, Aetherlog for Mac. Chris, K5LH/DK5LH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KB1H Class: SO Mixed HP Total Score = 289,278 Thanks to KB1H for the use of his great station. Before the start was a great day with the Barnstormer team on site- KB1H, N1WK, NB1U, AA1CE, K1EBY, NR1X, and W1UJ. -Raised 2/3 of one of the 80m verticals Hurricane Irene damage. No 80m in WAG with compromised 4-square system. -Raised/repaired the 40m EDZepp after Irene damage. -Raised the 160m dipole after Irene damage. -Antenna Launcher/Potato gun worth its weight in gold for these projects. -Trussed the 3el full sized 40m -Walked the beverages -Carried new N1WK 6m amplifier power supply into Barn. (K1GX AA1CE Built) For the WAG Contest; -1:05 hours late start due to above projects. -Made 6 QSOs on 10m SSB and decided that I was going to stick with CW. -10m closed to DL early on Saturday at 86 QSOs. Shifted to Asia. -10m was fantastic Sunday. -Everything that called me was given a number and logged, even non-DL. I think N1MM may have given those QSOs points. Last number given; 1061 -Took a break to go home from 01z-0835z -Lots of typical errors and probable bad spots for K6JH and KB1S with short runs of dupes. -Really tried to work the 2nd radio hard; # band changes = 222 -Best single hour rate 102 We look forward to working the same German folks in the CQ SSB contest.
