CQ World Wide VHF Contest
CQ World Wide VHF Contest
| Call | Category | Comments | W9VW | Multi-Op | This is our first attempt to run this contest. 2 & 6M FT8 was hopping | WA1KRG | Single Op 6M | Thank you for sponsoring the contest | WA2CLP | Single Op QRP | Enjoyed this contest from new QTH. Got used to the N1MM logger and FT8 program. My best contacts were on SSB though | WA5RR | Hilltopper | First time as a hilltopper. Found a great location and tried out a new generator power system. It was a fun contest! | WA6EJO | Single Op All | Never heard so much activity in the CQ VHF contest! | WB2AMU | Single Op 6M | Conditions were extremely poor for this time of year. There were two short periods of Sporadic-E activity observed here - Saturday evening for an hour and one hour during Sunday afternoon | WB6AGE/R | Rover | This contest was tremendous fun! | WB8WUA | Single Op All | Had fun. The air wave conditions were quite poor for both bands | WB9TFH | Single Op All | With 2 contests on the same weekend makes it tough to get a good score for either one, NAQP or this one CQWWVFH. I missed a lot of Q's yesterday being on NAQP. Maybe next year I'll only do this one even though it was tough going with FT8. Not much phone or cw to speak of but then the ft8 sigs were mostly minus (-). E clouds didn't stick around long, in and out for short periods. Some frustration trying to complete a QSO in ft8, you try someone else then later the one you quit on shows up on your screen in the middle of a Q. I guess if we didn't have ft8 then maybe we wouldn't have much of a score. It was tough fun and thanks for all the Q's. cu in September. 73 | WD6T | Single Op 6M | A few hours of FT8 operating on Sunday hoping for new grids, but no openings good enough for my attic dipole (itself an improvement over my previous 6m wet noodle.) | WF4R | Single Op 6M | I think that I could have done better if I could have rotated my Yagi | WS5N | Single Op 6M | Too short a time period for VHF with unpredicible openings. Run it to 03:00 UTC Monday like the ARRL contest, please | XE1AY | Single Op All | No cndx to the west coast of mexico | YD3CER | Single Op QRP | Success & GL | YL2EC | Single Op 6M | Thanks contest | YO2IS | Single Op 6M | IC-7300, 75W, 5el...73 Szigy | YO2LEA | Single Op 6M | UNFORTUNATELY THE PROPAGATION WAS VERY POOR.
