| HA0SA | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted L 100W |
| HB9CXZ | ASSISTED HIGH | Unfortunately my qth has become problematic for 160 meters, there is a constant noise across the entire band at S9. A mix of white noise and static. Even on small beverges the situation does not improve, the only usable antenna for reception is t With these conditions I'm still satisfied with the result, it was a lot of hard work. 73, Luis HB9CXZ |

| IB9Z | ASSISTED LOW | Short and poor performing antenna, low power and very poor propagation. I listened to several stations but they did not receive me. I finished with two hours of activity. Vertical Antenna inverted L 12 meters long. |

| JA8RWU | ASSISTED LOW | Wkd only JAs. Called CQ for a few hours in total with no luck. Hrd two BYs, but no luck. No other neighbor DXs such as UA0 this time. TNX for all the 18QSOs! Akira, JA8RWU |
| JA9FHB | SINGLE-OP HIGH | I enjoyed the contest. |
| JE1SPY | SINGLE-OP LOW | It was the 5th 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. Please attention, JA stations can tranmit on 1848kHz low edge. In Europe and the United States, band plans are not laws and there are no penalties, but in Japan they are legal, so if we do not follow the band plan, we will be sentenced to imprisonment or a fine at worst. During the CQ160m contest, in Europe and the United States, the entire 160m band is almost filled with SSB, regardless of the band plan, regardless of the band plan. However, from Japan, only about half of these operating Western countries are in the Japanese SSB band, so it is not possible to call more than half of the stations. Western stations sometimes watch the Japanese SSB band (1848-1875KHz). My antenna is a Micro Vert it's length is only 4meters and 15meters high from ground. It has a only one radial which length a only 30meters length. |
| JH7UJU | SINGLE-OP QRP | FT-817ND DP Yagi |
| K0FJ | SINGLE-OP LOW | shortened dipole 40' above the ground fed with ladder line and Icom AC-4 tuner. It didn't work very well. K0fj |
| K1EP | ASSISTED LOW | High noise level, combined with seemingly low participation and mediocre propagation, made this a test of endurance. Heard a few Eu stations, but they could not hear me. Hardly heard anything west of the Mississippi. I did hear N6RO, but they cou |
| K2CAN | ASSISTED LOW | 133' end-fed wire up 28' |
| K3FAZ | SINGLE-OP LOW | 160M END FED HALF WAVE ANTENNA @ FIFTY FEET WITH THREE GROUND RADIALS |
| K4CGY | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Great contest as usual |
| K4HQK | SINGLE-OP LOW | Only spent 20 minutes in this contest owing to high line noise and a poor antenna (one leg of my 80m dipole). 73, John K4HQK Alexandria, VA |
| K5NZ | ASSISTED HIGH | Brutal!!! |
| K5RX | SINGLE-OP HIGH | I had not planned to operate more than two or three hours, but got hooked despite the rather poor conditions. Wound up on the air almost 11 hours. The poor conditions were partly offset by the low number of static crashes. Usually tte static crashes are horrible for at least one night of this contest. I had not worked SD and heard K0KX in SD calling and working If he ever called me, I did not hear him. I had given up on and 7. Heard no KH6 but thought I heard a KL call me, but could not dig him out. |
| K5VIP | ASSISTED HIGH | Mostly S&P with a few runs |
| K5XU | SINGLE-OP LOW | Conditions were not very good. |
| K5ZD | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Only a few hours each night at Eu sunrise. Conditions were very quiet and many strong Eu signals. |
| K6RAD | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted L, highest point 50 ft. |
| K8OZ | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Working with new matching network for my short, top-loaded (and bottom-loaded) vertical. Let's hope propagation will be good. I will miss about 1.5 hrs of prime time on Friday net because of prior obligations. After the contest: I only got in 3 hrs and 47 minutes of operating time - some while having a few brief chat sessions. My new matching circuit worked well, but conditions were pretty bad. Only worked one other DXCC entity. Need to improve my rece |
| K8RR | ASSISTED LOW | Apparently the sunspots played spoiler, as this was easily the worst propagation on a 160 meter contest that I experienced. Compounded with a high noise level at this Cincinnati location, this was the most difficult and lackluster operating event |
| K9WN | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Better than last year. I HAVE to put my Low Bands winter vertical up next year |
| KA8UGQ | SINGLE-OP LOW | 155' End Fed Random Wire |
| KB9RDS | ASSISTED LOW | single 1/4 wave Inverted L for 160m. |

| KC9UJS | SINGLE-OP LOW | My antenna is an inverted L of sorts, it goes up a maple tree to about 40 feet, then across my yard as far as I can go. the End Fed wire is fed with a 4:1 balun - The feedline is RG6!! And I have an RG6 Ugly Balun right before the choke. There ar |
