G0GQTSO LOW 40MA cold wet weekend was spent in a nice warm shack trying to improve my CW. Frustrating at times with low power, but some new Countries and zones worked on a 40 Mtr dipole. A very enjoyable weekend

G1GSA LOW 10MStarted doing QRP but the aurora arrived and it was almost impossible so used 50w and started bouncing signals off the aurora. Sunday a better day - the new Moxon antenna is a keeper (EA2850MOX)

G3LSO QRP 10MGreat condx's very much enjoyed the contest as usual Ten did go out for me on Qrp about 18:00hrs which suited me fine, cu next year God willing
G3NKSSO LOW ALLJust a dabble! But good fun and good conditions. Some stations were sending far too fast, didn't help their QSO rate or mine! Trapped vertical fo 10, 15 and 20m, 60ft of wire for 40, 80 and 160m
G3OJLSA LOW 15MThe first contest I have taken 'seriously' (i.e. I read the rules first) for decades. Really enjoyed the adrenaline and the 'whole world activity' - very stimulating ! mni tnx es 73 to all
G3RTUSA LOW ALLThanks to all who made the contest really active and those I managed to work in my available operating time. CU next year
G3VPWSA HIGH ALLSpent a few hours searching and pouncing for new DXCC entities. Was only going to submit a checklog but what the heck 70 countries just on 10m and 60 countries on 40m can't be too bad. Assisted using cwskimmer on my own antenna. Running 400w on a SteppIR vertical with K3 and linear
G3WRRSO LOW ALLFirst semi-serious entry in the CW event for some years from here. Part time only but thoroughly enjoyable. 10m was the star band from here in South London, with 15m nearly as good, but 20m a bit disappointing (maybe everyone was on 15 & 10m!). 40m also rather quiet but at the right times 160m & 80m were good. Surprisingly the only UK prefixes worked were G and GD - but maybe I was on the right bands at the wrong times
G3YJQSA HIGH 20MThanks for all the Q's and the points. Hope to work you Gi's again in the next contest. Gl 73 fred de G3YJQ
G3YMCSO QRP ALLA good fun weekend. Elecraft K2, 5W, longwire
G3YRZSO LOW 80MMy computer Blue Screened several times with my RF. Never done before! I couldn't carry on
G3ZGCSA HIGH ALLMy Tx fails after about 90 minutes use. The manufacturers cant find the issue. Other than that extremely good conditions here except 160m which was very poor. 10m and 15m superb.Best results ever for my simple aerial setup

G4CXTSA HIGH ALLWho needed an aurora during CQWW?
G4DDLSO LOW ALLLots of fun! Found less DX on 20m than other bands. 10m was very good as was 40m. Only a small station with simple wire antennas ( longwire 30m at 8m and low loop 8 x 4 m at 6m) Pleased to make an unchecked half million points!
G4LPPSA LOW 40MA brief 40m only foray on 10 watts
G4MADSO QRP 15MJust a little fun on QRP on 15m - glad to get over the pond a few times :-)

GM5TDXSO LOW 10MGood luck to everyone who entered the Competition - Ted GM5TDX
GS7VMULTI-TWOContest DXpedition to Shetland Islands EU-012. Unfortunately the GZ prefix no longer available, so many stations did not realise we were a Multiplier, despite our publicity. Icy 60mph gales and hailstones every day for the 3 days before the contest made setting up antennas very tough.Aurora on Saturday made QSOs difficult for a spell, but overall great fun!
GU4CHYSO HIGH 10MSaturday poor, Sunday much better
GW0VSWSO QRP ALLI enjoyed the contest this year though it was hard going at times. Thanks to all operators who managed to copy my 5w.I managed to get one half of my G5RV working on Top Band so was very happy to make a few contacts on that band
