"I did not do as well this year as 2006 when I had over 500 QSOs but did not
spend as much time in the chair. I got tired of having send my call
several times on 80 meters, so I turned on the amplifier for some of the
QSOs and this puts me in the high power class even though most of my QSOs
were made using less than 100 watts. I missed DC, VT, MT, and ND for WAS,
but did get OK this year. The highlight to me was having K1ZZ respond to
my CQ. Nobody confused me with AA5AU this year and AB5K was missed." - AA5VU
"This was my first time on the air since July, but I had a good time.
I used 100 watts and a dipole, operated mostly on 20 meters, and still
managed to pull some good ones in the ten hours I had available.
I observed uniformly good operating. Sorry to those few stations
when I hit the wrong macro key...I will get better. I was hoping
for a WAS and managed 39 out of the 50 states." -AD0K
"I had fun, but it would have been nice to have had better band conditions."
- KA5EYH
"I was not feeling very well this weekend, but I made an effort for a
while. There were plenty of stations to work, and conditions seemed
good except of course on 10 meters. I ran low power, 50 watts, and I
was pleasantly surprised that all my QSOs except one came from CQing
and running on each band - even 80 meters. It was relatively easy to
hold a frequency and have plenty of callers for the short of amount of
time I felt like operating." - NA4M
"I operated just a few minutes here and there." - KU5B
"Great participation! I guess this is where we will have to go for good rate in
future with all the new HF no-codes...but it sure will be good for the RTTY
logs! This is the best I have done for sure as SO1R, with great rate when I
was on (I had a 114 QSO hour on 40 meters). I just wish I could have stayed
in the chair. I was working Europe at 3:35 PM local time Saturday on 40
meters... and lots of them.... Unreal. 15 meters never fired Sunday morning,
just a handful of European big guns, and I checked 10 meters often and even
CQed some there, but not a peep." - K5NZ
