"This was a fun contest. Last weekend, with the help of WM5R, I put
up about 30' of Rohn 45G tower at my new QTH and put up a four-element
Cushcraft 10 meter Yagi so I could play around in the contest. The
contest went well and I took it pretty easy - taking some time off
in the middle of the day each day to eat and do a few things around
the house." - K5TR
"80 meters and 160 meters were just awesome the first night. John NT5C's
comments about 75 meter phone conditions led to a decision to really
concentrate more on 160 meters and 80 meters that night to big advantage.
I received an e-mail after the contest from 4X1KS thanking us for copying
his 100mW signal on 10 meters! We did lots of moving multipliers and others
between stations - JAs were really great about doing this and it improves
the JA QSO/QSL ratio greatly!" - N5TW
"This effort was from a new QTH where antennas and station are still under
construction. It is already a huge improvement over anything I have
previously had. Excellent low band conditions coupled with a quiet location
and my first 160 meter antenna in years prompted me to spend too much time
on 160 meters and 80 meters, but it was fun and that's what its all about!"
-N5AW
"I had a Russian on 40 meters ask me to QSY to 80 meters. That was the
first time that has happened to me. I guess maybe he was a multi-multi
trying to feed folks to his other station." - W5XD
"I find myself in a bit of a contesting renaissance following the WRTC
last summer. Both Alan and I were disappointed with our team's performance,
and I have tried to hone and test my skills and see just how I stack up.
To that end, I have converted to the NA software, with its CT type look and
feel, but with true SO2R capability, and I am working on learning how to
listen to two radios concurrently, and how to move stations with the best
of them. I've made the comment somewhat lightly that my goal is to have
the hardware here at N3BB be the limiting factor, not the operator, and
after this year's ARRL DX CW contest, I think that just might be the case."
