    Well, looking back on the comments made subsequent to last year's contest which I ended with "...and hopefully better conditions as the cycle improves", my hopes weren't quite fulfilled. As a matter of fact, they seemed somewhat similar if not slightl... Read More

    Spent only a few hours on the contest thanks to family obligations, but even that much was fun and instructive. Like everyone else, Saturday was dead here in the D.C. area--ground wave QSOs only--while Sunday picked up with some 1,100-mile sporadic E, ... Read More

    This was my first contest and I really enjoyed it. I operate entirely
    cw and have been doing so for 36 years. I always avoided contest because I didn't know what they were all about. A friend (k5bzh) talked me into this one and I am hooked! Really enjo... Read More

    I love 10 meters...When it's active!! The first 2 1/2 hours I had 4 Qs two CAs and two AZs. Saturday morning I found the band blanked out with an S9+ noise. When it cleared I began slowly working WAs and COs. Just as the pace picked up the power wen... Read More

    I only made two contacts during the whole contest. I listened to the band on and off for most of the contest and tried calling CQ on CW. I worked one KY station on CW and K5TR on phone. I was kind of surprised there weren't more stations on 10 this ... Read More
