Comments

Doing a competitive SOAB in CQWW SSB has been a dream of mine. Amazingly lucky to go from a seat request on the cq-contest reflector a few weeks ago to fulfilling that dream from V47T.

The original plan was to do MS with NP4Z, but Felipe ran into some work conflicts and offered me the chance to do a single op. N2NT and NP4Z had planned a trip to do station repairs. I felt like a rock star when they picked me up at the airport and helped get everything set up for the contest! It was lonely when they left for home on Wed. Gave me some time to enjoy the beach and drive around the island.

The station is on a hilltop at about 1000 feet ASL. It is a steep drop toward Europe down to the ocean about a mile away. Not bad to USA either. It requires an AWD vehicle to reach the station.

There a million stories and comments I could report but will have to wait for another day. Still in recovery mode.

Slept 3 hours Sun morning. Rates were getting slow and I knew I would need it to push through another day of QSO making on the high bands.

Was completely isolated in a concrete bunker for the weekend with a single window to see if it was daylight or dark. For 48+ hours I did not think about anything except where the next QSO was coming from.

A bit disappointed with the mults, but conditions just weren’t open very deep. So went with a run at all times strategy. Never heard zones 19, 23, 24, 29, or 34.

Hilltops on islands in the Caribbean rock.

Amazing all the activity that shows up on the bands during CQWW. Thank you all for making it the best radio weekend of the year. And again, thanks to N2NT and NP4Z for use of the station and V44KAI for local support.

It’s official. The results are out and this is the world high score for single operator all bands high power. Wow! I am thrilled.

It was a very close race with 8P5A and P40T.

Casual effort. Back and shoulder injury made it hard to stay in chair for long stints.

Conditions were not the best.  Thought 15m might open a few times, but it would just tease with a few QSOs and then be dead again. Was able to work some Europeans on 80, but it was hard. Signals sounded a bit hollow.

Amazing activity on 20m. I heard RTTY all the way up to 14152!

This is always one of the my favorite contests.  Since I was in and out, I enjoyed watching
the contestonlinescoreboard and trying to catch whoever was in front of me.

Hard to get much extra rate doing dual CQ when only one band is open at a time.

Comments:

I turned 60 on Saturday of the contest. Enjoyed the good conditions and working almost 1000 QSOs. Then it got noisy and the activity went away.  Too slow on Sunday!

Very strong CR6K on 10m Sat morning. Tried calling CQ but only one answer from EF5Y. Still, never expected to work EU on 10m.

This was my first true attempt at automated 2BSIQ (dual CQ).  WriteLog has great automation to help, but sometimes the operator just couldn’t keep up.  Sorry for those I didn’t work while trying to unscramble the log.

Lots of QSB on signals.  A guy would call and be loud, then be weak when he sent his report.  Had to ask for a lot of repeats.  Even worse Sat evening on the low bands when the QRN was higher.

Was fun to watch the scoreboard and chase N6MJ, KO7SS, and AA3B all weekend. Kept me in the chair much longer than I had intended.

I think this contest would be more fun on the receiving side of QTCs… The only challenge for the sender is carefully picking guys who are loud and can copy the code.

Thanks to my family for letting me spend a beautiful summer day playing radio. And thanks to N1PGA for helping me fix the 80m 4-square and 15m beam the days before the contest.

That was fun! 

I had a flight to catch Sunday morning so I knew I would miss the last hour of the contest.  But, wanted to see if I could collect some good WRTC qualifying points.  Figured I would start and then have the option to continue or quit depending on conditions.

Conditions were interesting.  Fun to hear the loud Eu HQ stations come in at various times on E-skip on 10 and 15m.

Had dual CQ going for awhile on 15/20 and that really helped the rates and fun factor. When EU got loud on 20 CW, I went to SSB and had a great run.  Really needed the points as the first few hours were mostly 1 pointers from zone 8.

Don’t really have enough antenna to do well on 40m.  And it was noisy so couldn’t try dual CQ.

Never heard a JA all weekend.  Was running a lot so didn’t tune as much as I probably should have.

160m was interesting.  Some guys could hear and some could not. I did have a small run which produced a number of multipliers.

Finally decided that sleep would be more beneficial than grinding out the wee hours.  From the scoreboard, that may have cost me 200-300 QSOs.

Best motivation was chasing VA2WA on the scoreboard. Almost caught him a few times and then his multiplier would jump.  I soon suspected he was probably using the cluster, but it was still fun to chase him and others.  Great job by AA3B and W1KM on CW.

Some antenna issues that will need to be diagnosed. The top 15m beam would not turn so was stuck west all weekend. That left me trying to run guys with the low antenna at 33′. The 40m beam continues to be intermittent at the feed point.

Thanks to all for the QSOs.

Best low band conditions ever!  Amazed to have 62 countries on 160 in just the first night! No QRN.  Must have been quiet in Europe too because was able to call and have guys respond on the first try.

Various antenna and equipment problems continue to indicate the need for more station maintenance.  Couldn’t access the stack on 15m so did most of my work on the 5-ele at 33′.  Alpha 76CA started making a burning smell so my wife made me turn it off.  Switched in the backup AL-1200, but it had a relay problem so wouldn’t always hear well after transmitting.

Missed some great hours on Sat afternoon while building bedroom furniture for my daughter.

Heard 4 stations on 10m and managed to work 3 of them.  It was stone cold dead.

Fun having the cluster spots so I could chase DX between running. Also nice to have the scoreboard going to keep up the motivation.

No excuses.  Had a blast and more than exceeded my goals.

Thanks to everyone around the world who hunt for W/VE QSOs all weekend.

That was entertaining!  Only worked a few hours the first night. Band did not seem good for working DX.  When the USA rate slowed down, I hit the sack.

Made a few QSOs at sunrise on Sat morning, but band still did not sound good.

Got back on Sat night around 0015z and things sounded much better.  The big gun Europeans were much louder. Had better than expected rate with some DX thrown in so kept operating.  Ended up making 700 contacts over the next 8 hours.

Was watching the online scoreboard and that kept me motivated to keep pushing. Especially as those 10 point QSOs accelerated the score.

Band was amazingly quiet both nights.  Worked a lot of very very weak Europeans. Fun!

Never heard SD, NE, KH6 or KL7.  Missed a number of VE provinces as well.  OA4DX was loud, but CQed in my face.  That was the best DX heard and missed. 4X2M was the “best” DX worked.

We had company for the holidays and the bed in the shack becomes a guest room. They left on Sat morning, but I knew I was going to miss most of the first night so decided to do the Classic overlay – one radio, no spotting.

Started on 20m casually DXing and working Asia. Then moved through each band once. Then I was kicked out.

Back on Saturday morning and wow! The rates on 20m were incredible. Had to finally take the leap and go to 15m. It wasn’t as good, but there were mults there.

Perfect conditions for being in W1. Usually only one band really open to Europe at a time and they were all beaming our way. That means great rates if you can get a frequency!

Must be a bit of WRTC fever still going on in Germany. I don’t recall ever working so many! They just kept calling in. Lots of Russian and Ukraine also.

Best DX was UP2L on 80m. Heard a zone 18 on 80 Friday night, but he CQed in my face. Did work RM9A (17) and RA9Y (18) on Saturday evening. Any QSO with Africa was exciting (and usually meant busting a big unruly pileup).

As always, it was a constant dilemma whether to run or tune for missing mults. I spent most of the time running.

K1TTT was the ONLY signal I heard on 10m all weekend! I don’t recall it ever being so dead in a WW. Thanks for the double mult!

No equipment failures this time. 40m beam is still intermittent on receive and the SWR on the south tribander is high (but it seems to work).

Knowing I needed to maximize my score within 24 hours, I tried not to operate too much the first day. I think I timed it out almost perfectly. The 40m run on Sun evening dried up about 10 mins after I hit the time limit. Spent the last hour just tuning around and enjoying all the cool DX that is in CQWW.

So for my Classic score, it will be something around 2810 QSOs, 110 Z, and
396 C for about 4.1M.

Was very fun to watch the scoreboard all weekend. Especially the battle between D41CV, Ti7W, and ZF1A. Those guys were making amazing rates. For me, it was helpful to have someone to chase when I came back to the shack after being away.

This contest really is the best in terms of activity and operating level. Thanks to everyone for getting on and creating so much fun.

My 42nd consecutive year with more than 1000 QSOs in SS CW!

Contest started OK.  Not great, but rate was consistent.  It really falls off around 0630z. I was trying to stay on, but the rate just got too slow.  The time change always makes me have to think when to set the alarm to get back on in time.

We were having quite a wind storm on Sat afternoon and evening.  Something in my 40m beam was intermittent, so had trouble copying a bunch of stations.  Probably have a higher number of errors as a result.  Made a bunch of QSOs using my 40m dipole that is up about 20′ hanging off of one tower (it fell a few months ago and procrastinated fixing it).

We had a short power failure on Sunday morning.  N1MM answered my CQ and I was just sending the report when everything went dark.  The UPS saved the computer, but the radios, amp, and switching all died.  By the time it all powered up again, N1MM was gone so the QSO was lost.

Got awful slow on Sunday. Couldn’t stay in the chair for the full 24 hours. Fun (and motivating) to chase AA3B on contestonlinescore.com. He got me in the end.

80m was super quiet on Sat night.  Was able to copy just about anyone who called on the first try. Weird to hear stations from across the country all morning on 40m. 15m was useless on Sat, but had some really strong signals on Sunday. N9RV was rock crushing for hours. Thought about listening on 160 a few times, but never made the effort.

Thanks to NP3X for the sweep! Nasty pileup but managed to sneak through. I think I worked 2 or more of every section except NT and VI.

Kind of packed it in once I got the sweep.  Worked on some CQWW log checking and watched the Patriots. Was surprised to get on for last 18 minutes and worked 14 stations!  I am sure once the final results come out, I will kick myself for not pushing to the end.

Nothing wrong with SS CW that another 1000 participants wouldn’t solve.

Knew I couldn’t do a full effort so decided to try Classic overlay.

I was finishing up a show on Netflix when the contest started. Operated a bit over 2 hours and then decided to watch the World Series. It was the bottom of the 7th and I figured an hour would be a good break before getting back in time for Europe sunrise. Whoops. 10+ innings later it was now 0730z and bands were quiet. Gave up on trying to maximize my operating time for score. Went for fun instead.

Got up early and found a frequency on 20m. Wow! Rate was great with band open deep into Europe and Russia. Stayed a bit long just because the rate was so good. The Nor’Easter was in full force when I noticed the 20m stack lights were no longer showing the correct indication. An intermittent problem over the past two months. Can’t fix it now. Have choice of upper, lower, or both out of phase for rest of weekend.

When I got to 15m there were some loud signals so called CQ in the first spot I found.

Magic! The band was open with spotlight propagation all around northern Europe. Worked LY, OH and even some Russians. Has a 245 hour! This surprise and discovery are part of what keeps us coming back year after year.

As this excitement was happening, I noticed that my top 15m beam would only turn left. Luckily it was on Europe, but once I started messing with it, it then went to N, then NW, then W. So only the beam at 33′ to Europe for rest of weekend.

My doctor’s office was having a flu shot event so I stopped to go get one. Didn’t seem to impact my ability to operate and was glad to get it out of the way.

Took a nap in the afternoon. Caught a few stations on 10m, but not much. Only SA on 15m. 20m was great into Japan with lots of big signals.

40m is just a mess. I never thought I would be wishing for us to go back to the old days of working split all the time…

Watched the Red Sox again, but I did it while still working the low bands. Had to catch up on mults.

Sunday opened at the same time as Saturday. Got a good frequency and had a nice few hours. It felt like conditions were better, so I decided to go to 15m earlier. This is where being Classic with only 1 radio is a challenge.

I changed bands only to discover conditions were not great. No way to get my frequency back so I did some slow CQing on 15m. Went from a 211 hour on 20m to a 32 hour on 15m.  Ouch!

It was weird. How can we have so many SP stations in the log and no Germans?! They were even calling in after their sunset. As the sun moved, suddenly the band opened to Germany. That helped the score! Was sure missing the high 15 Yagi as many of the signals were right at the noise and had to surf the QSB to get in the log.

Had to take some time off to attend a concert my wife was playing in. Got back early enough to get to the 24 hour of operating mark. Although the last 2 hours were slow. Called lots of loud Europeans on 75m that could not hear me. Argh.

Spent time in the last 20 minutes calling a loud CT9ABO. No luck, but did work UR5AS. OK7K was the consistently loud signal from Europe on 160 all weekend.

As always, too many guys who don’t send their call. Although I found them more responsive when asked so maybe we are making progress. Didn’t notice as much splatter as usual, but that was probably because having only one radio and doing lots of CQing limited my visibility.

Never heard zones 18, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, or 34.

Three hours over 200 were a blast. You see the rate go up and you just hope the frequency stays clear and guys keep calling.

Always amazing how this contest brings out the activity. Worked a lot of guys that were not in the SCP file. Thanks to everyone that go on and helped us all have more fun.

Now off to plan some antenna maintenance!
