CQ World Wide VHF Contest
| Call | Category | Comments | 7L4IOU | Single Op 6M | The antenna was a Dipole (and IC-7100) this time. but I enjyoyd it. Thanks for the wonderful contest! | 9A6A | Single Op 6M | QTH Island Hvar, EU016 400m asl RIG: ICOM 7300 Ant: 5 el Yagi | 9A7ZZ | Single Op 6M | IC-7000 & 5 el.( DK7ZB) | AA8TA | Single Op 6M | Made two local contacts, otherwise no beacons heard and no other activity. DXMaps showed activity around here but I guess my low-to-the-ground halo is not up to the task | AB0CD | Single Op QRP | Great fun. First time from QTH. Did Hilltopper in the past. IC-7300 and my $4 PVC supported dipole on a painter's pole (antenna was a wad of red Radio Shack hook-up wire). Next time? Maybe a Moxon or a small beam. AND QRP! 72 | AC4G | Single Op 6M | AS ALWAYS, 6M PROPAGATION APPEARS TO BE TERRIBLE TO | AE5FM | Single Op 6M | First CQ Contest | AF1T | Single Op All | No FT8, here. I thought phone activity seemed low on 2 Meters | AI4IC | Single Op 6M | Everybody was on FT8, which is somewhat unfortunate, because it's plain wrong to have a program automatically send CQ and then reply to the 1st caller. Tried SSB and CW, but only got one SSB contact | AJ6T | Single Op 6M | Six meter propagation was disappointing. No sign of the European signals that had been seen in the days prior to the contest. The rules regarding assistance were poorly written and confusing | AL1VE | Single Op 6M | Beautiful weekend weather-wise, not so beautiful on the 50 MHz. 9700' on Steens Mtn OR | BA4TB | Single Op All | Very frustrating,it seems there is no one on CW and SSB! | BG2KAJ | Single Op 6M | Well, A poor condx makes it less fun but I still enjoy the contest! Also glad to see more station take part in the contest! | DL3DXX | Single Op All | FT8 area full of stations all day long but CW/ssb empty - the end of classic ham radio | DL9NEI | Single Op 6M | seemed like Ukrainian Contest to me | DV7BPQ | Single Op 2M | Thank you and 73 | DX7HQ | Multi-Op | THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD EXPERIENCE, 73! | EA1HRR | Single Op All | 73 TO ALL | EA8CTK | Single Op All | Muy malas condiciones | G3TXF | Single Op 6M | For me 'CQWW' usually means a fun weekend of It was a struggle to find anyone to work on CW or SSB. I'm still a bit queezy about using FT8 in a 'contest mode' when most people in the FT8 part of the band are not even aware there's a contest on. Let's stick to traditional modes (CW, SSB, RTTY) for main-stream contesting and then hold completely separate FT8 (or FT4) contests. Mixing the two is a bad idea | G4NBS | Single Op All | ALL FT8, WITHOUT ES THERE IS NOT MUCH ACTIVITY IN EU! | GM6NX | Single Op 6M | Yet again 6m conditions bomb out at the sight of a contest. 3rd time this season ! Usual EU stuff, no real DX at all | GW7APP | Single Op 6M | Not much spare time between work and jobs round the house, but conditions seemed good particularly as I was only using a Yaesu FT991 at 50 watts and a 10MHz 1/4 wave vertical 10 feet above ground. Great fun, and the first VHF contest I've attempted since 1990! | HA4BF | Hilltopper | FT-817ND, 6el ultralight yagi | HB9CIC | Single Op 6M | Most time nil propagation. Hope of much better score in next contests | HL3AMO | Single Op 6M | Almost no propagation to Japan | I4JEE | Single Op 6M | Poor propagation - almost absent - | IK7JNM | Single Op All | Poor Propagation...73 and tnx to all !! | IR9K | Multi-Op | Beautiful contest, the absence of propagation is in 2mt that in 6 mt it made us struggle a bit, but we had fun as always, see you next year 73s Pile UP Dx Team | IZ3NVR | Rover | Didn't have much time. Propagation was not one of the best. Lots of signals on FT8 segment but I was not setup to operate there | JA3YVI | Multi-Op | I enjoyed the contest | JA6WFM | Single Op 6M | I enjoyed the international Six meters contest without FT8 but unfortunately QSOs were no DX but only JA,s. Will be try again next year hope to the condition will be good | JE1ILP | Single Op QRP | IC7300S LW | JF3LGC | Single Op 6M | Very few station at the contest. It's my first time with N1MM+ and WSJT-X | JH2GZY | Single Op 6M | Thanks 6m QSO | JH3DMQ | Single Op QRP | OATH : I swear using QRP5W out. ANT : 50MHz 8ELYAGI 15mH RIG : IC-7300M Power down | JH4PUS | Single Op 2M | Thank you for the wonderful contest! Thanks to the organizers for the wonderful contest, which every year is a great pleasure. Good luck! See you next year | JH7UJU | Single Op QRP | FT817ND, 5watts. GP YAGI | JI2IXA | Single Op All | I enjoyed the contest | JJ1HHJ | Single Op All | Rig: YAESU FT-847 50W | JN1OKV | Single Op QRP | I enjoyed the contest | JO7FGZ | Single Op QRP | I enjoyed the contest | JQ1NGT | Single Op All | I enjoyed the contest | JR1BFZ | Single Op 6M | I enjoyed the contest | JR2AWS | Single Op 2M | RIG: TS-790S ANT: GP | JR7DUT | Single Op All | I enjoyed the contest | K0JV | Single Op 6M | Had fun but was disappointed that my usual opening to the south never materialized. Usually there are dozens of TX, AZ, NM, LA etc stations but not this weekend. Will do it again next year | K1RZ | Single Op All | Thanks to CQ for sponsoring this contest. Activity seemed very high in the northeast. Naturally 144 MHz was enhanced in the days immediately preceding the contest, which seemed to go away Saturday morning. But, with the high level of activity we were always busy working new stations. Thanks to those who roved (KK4BZ and K5ND), and and to those who went portable in relatively rare grids (WW2Y FN24 and W8ZN EM87). Thanks to CQ for sponsoring this contest. See you in the 222 and Up Distance Contest. 73, Dave K1RZ FM19jh | K2MTS | Single Op All | First time working CQ WW VHF. Nice 6 meter opening on Sunday afternoon allowed for some SSB contacts. Used a homebrew PVC 6M Moxon and 2M Diamond Yagi | K2SX | Single Op All | At least, I had time to watch some golf, clean the shack and work on antennas. The openings were so short I probably missed a bunch of them but doubt it would have made any difference. About 15 minutes before the start of the contest called CQ and got answers from K7CNT and WA7JTM in DM25 and DM33. After that, very little heard and nothing west of Mississippi. Such is life in the bottom of the sunspot cycle |
