JA8RWUASSISTED LOWA year ago we were a SWL on SSB just for receiving their signals. This time nice to give them a precious JA PHONE mult & points on the Top Band. This was my debut on 160m SSB from JA. For DX only wkd neighbors, Russian friends. As always RT0F & RM0F are a
JA9FHBSINGLE-OP HIGHI enjoyed the contest.
JE1SPYSINGLE-OP LOWIt was the first CQ 160m contest since the 160m SSB was lifted in Japan. The Japanese SSB band has a width of only 30KHz from 1845 to 1875KHz. In Europe and the United States, band plans are not laws and there are no penalties, but in Japan they are legal

K4PLSINGLE-OP HIGHFIRST TIME
K4RFKSINGLE-OP LOWHeard many stations but my very low doublet (30 ft) couldn't work many of them. Still I enjoyed this contest. Thanks to all those who worked hard to pull my poor signal out of the ether!
K4TMCSINGLE-OP LOWPortable operation from Atlantic Beach, NC (FM14pq) using 46 ft carbon fiber mast supporting Inverted-L over FCP rig Elecraft K3/100 with Heil HC4 mic.
K5RXSINGLE-OP HIGHJust over 6 hours of operation because line noise was terrible. It came from several directions the first night, although only two directions the second. I could eliminate one with an MFJ noise canceler, leaving noise in only one direction. That allowed m
K5ZDSINGLE-OP HIGHWorst conditions on 160m ever! Even the locals were weak.
K7IISINGLE-OP HIGHGreat Contest
K7IUSINGLE-OP HIGHCondx better on 2nd nite than the first.
K7XCASSISTED LOWIt was hard Work with only 100W ON 160M SSB. Friday night was difficult. The band was reminiscent of a poor Es opening on 6M. Signals in one hop range of 800 miles were on average fairly workable. Everyone beyond were less than S1. As the night w
K8GQSINGLE-OP HIGHDisappointing, didn't hear any propagation from the Caribbean.
K8OZSINGLE-OP HIGHTrying out a new receive antenna and a new headset. Running only 900 Watts. Hope conditions are good...! Good luck to all. K8OZ
K8RRSINGLE-OP HIGHThese were overall the worst conditions for a 160 meter contest in my memory. In my part time operation here in NE Ohio, I logged no ME, OR, ID, NV, HI, SK, no South American and only one European and two Caribbean stations. In contrast, the comb
K9GYSINGLE-OP LOWWoke up early ET and took advantage of time change to operate remotely from AZ using RHR.... CW is the mode for me.
K9TYASSISTED HIGHPretty quiet this year. Where was the West?

KA9FOXASSISTED HIGHBest part was working so many old friends and hearing their voices again.
KB4OLMSINGLE-OP LOWHad a great time, more contacts than before, but no states on the west coast and no DX other than Canada, that was disappointing. Weather was not a factor on this end and we had lots of it, over 1" of rain and it started with 2" of snow. Looking forward t
KB9RDSASSISTED LOWRadio is on solar power (100 watt Station)
KC2GSINGLE-OP HIGHFirst entry from a new QTH. Limited operating hours but I'm happy with the result. TX ant is a modified Hustler 6BTV (minus the 80m resonator and whip, plus a 25uH coil and a wire over a tree), RX ant is a 100'-perimeter loop-on-ground. 750-1000 Mostly w
