| Call | Category | Comments | W0YJT | Single Op All | Not many band opening here | W1NN | Single Op 6M | Used a 40 meter dipole | W1WBB | Single Op 6M | Missed most of day 1. Light, sporadic 6m opening to midwest at 2330z. In/out thru 0145z, few callers SSB or CW. New grid em49 - tnx W9OSI. No opening heard day 2 | W2KV/2 | Single Op 2M | Working portable from Ship Bottom, NJ on Long Beach Island (NA-111). Rig: ft-847 and mirage 160w brick. Ant: single loop at 35 feet | W2UDT | Single Op All | Had a computer crash! Did recover most Qs but time is off on first 10. Missed Saturday night do to family chores. Sunday was spent at the Sussex RA hamfes | W3DHJ/R | Rover | Old school: SSB & CW. The first two hours' score bested my 2015 and 2016 scores -- combined! My claimed-score: 23424 is the best since 2006. I never worked anyone in the grid I happened to be in. I hung in for the last "dead" 90 minutes for just one qso -- which was a dupe | W3RFC | Multi-Op | What a ride it was | W3RGA/M | Single Op All | Went out for about an hour Sun morning. Started in FN10 and was going to go to FN11 but didn't make it. No real antennas (ATAS-120a on 6M/SSB and SG7500a on 2M/FM) | W4AMP | Single Op All | Great dx opening throughout contest | W7GLF | Single Op All | Lots of fun playing with new FT8 mode | W8KSC | Hilltopper | Worked portable from my back yard 10 watts (MFJ9406 transceiver) battery power on dipole strung in the trees | W8TN | Single Op 6M | All qso's were made with the new FT8 mode | W9SZ | Hilltopper | Fun contest. Weather was perfect, no wind, just wish 6M had opened up more | WA4LDU | Single Op All | The new digital mode FT8 seemed to dominate 6 meters | WA5MWD | Single Op QRP | Mobile only around the neighborhood. Lots of fun | WA7JTM | Hilltopper | Hilltopper QRP portable. Backpacked to SOTA summit W7a/mn-147 to put this summit on for the contest (and SOTA). Was lucky to catch a 6M opening to W5/W0 land on 6M. I only lasted four hours in the 100+f heat of the desert | WB6HYH | Single Op All | First time for me in this contest. It was a lot of fun. And it always is fun when 6 meters opens up. Looking forward to the next VHF contest | WB8WUA | Single Op All | Had fun - the late evening had a good and calm distant opening on 2 meters. Unfortunately, no good opening occurred on the 6 meter band. - thanks | WB9TFH | Single Op All | My best DX was DM12, San Diego CA, and a new grid. I had some good 6M short runs, seemed like activity was down, then again it's summer. Worked some rovers on 2 & 6 and not many 2M contacts around EN53, SE WIS. CU in Sept ARRL VHF. Thanks for the q's. 73 | WB9WOZ | Single Op All | Missed the 6M opening on Saturday, only worked 2.5 hrs on Sunday | WW7D/R | Rover | This was a good one!
