7L4IOU Single Op 6 Meters Thanks for wonderful contest!
AC9EZ Single Op All Bands QRP What a great contest! Thank you everyone for the qsos. This year, I ran my (new to me) Yaesu FT-818nd at 5 watts to a 4-element yagi for 2 meters (up 16 feet) and a 5-element Yagi for 6 meters (up 12 feet). This was my first experience running ft8 on 2 meters and although I didn't make many contacts, I was thrilled to work W9EWZ in EN52 in Wisconsin! Not bad for vhf qrp hi hi. 73 and see you all in the September VHF contest. de Jim ac9ez
AF4JF/R Rover Too many station FT8 only
AG6X Single Op All Bands Super slow event for the Lower Left Coast this year
AJ6T Single Op All Bands The lack of propagation on 6 meters made this a tough contest. It took a lot of perseverance to stick with it and catch the bits of Es that did occur. I was lucky enough to catch one California grid on 6 meters. On the other hand, 2 meters was fairly good with easy QSOs out to 400 miles. I checked for SSB activity but found none, so all of my contacts were either FT8 or MSK144. I stayed away from the internet chat sites that are the staple of activity now in the ARRL VHF contests since the CQ rules do not allow self spotting (except oddly for EME and Meteor Scatter). The CQ rules for QSO assistance are poorly written and confusing, and it appears many operators were not aware of the CQ restrictions. 6m: K3s+KPA1500+80m OCFD 2m: FT857D+TE1450G+9el LFA ' Band Mode QSOs Pts Grid Pt/Q 50 FT8 79 79 47 1.0 50 MSK1 2 2 2 1.0 144 FT8 43 86 27 2.0 144 MSK1 1 2 1 2.0 Total Both 125 169 77 1.4 Score: 13,013 1 Mult = 1.6 Q's Looking forward to the 222 MHz and Up contest next month. 73, Walt, AJ6T, EM66

K3SK Single Op All Bands Didn't have time to commit to serious operation, so I dabbled a little
K4HQK Single Op 6 Meters The Mid Atlantic region was not favored with E-skip or any other form of propagation during my short time in this contest. I worked what I could in three hours before leaving on a trip. My 32 QSOs were limited to 10 grids in the Eastern portion of the U.S
K5ND Single Op All Bands Slow on Saturday, but Sunday was great. Thanks everyone for the QSOs
K6NGN Single Op All Bands 1st time out with new setup
K7BWH/R Checklog This is a check log. I operated exactly on the grid line between two rare grids, DN15-DN16 grid line. I signed as rover /R but did not rove per contest rules since the station did not move. The goal was to give these two rare grids to FFMA chasers
K9OO Single Op All Bands QRP HILLTOPPER
K9TF Single Op 6 Meters I was looking for new GRIDs on 6 meters for VUCC. I did work a few. To all, Please update LOTW TQSL Station location so others can receive LOTW credit for the zone you were operating from. Jim K9TF
KA0PQW Single Op All Bands Didn't do much for the contest but fun anyway. 73 Matt ka0pqw
KA6BIM Single Op 6 Meters Conditions were horrible this weekend. Nothing heard East of the Rockies. Not much on the West side of it either..... Dave ka6bim
KB0V Single Op All Bands Mostly 6M, with poor condx Saturday, then better Sunday
KB8ZR Single Op 2 Meters 6m antenna issue, had FUN on 2m
KC1RET Single Op All Bands Ugh... I experienced torrential downpours during the contest including a tornado warning on Sunday morning. My 2m yagi was acting up showing a high SWR necessitating a power reduction to ~50w. Overall the condx were not great -- very few, extremely brief, openings on 6 and none observed on 2m. Only a handful of stations were heard on SSB FT8 was the money. Lots of room for improvement before the Sept. contest! Despite the challenges (because of?) I still managed to have fun! 6m - IC-756ProII, 4EL Homebrew yagi @ 20ft 2m - TS-2000, 11EL scavenged yagi @ 24ft
KC6NKK Single Op All Bands 1st entry into this contest, from QTH
