It has been nice to be back on the air.
VK3AMA
Condx not the best "Down Under", 20M had been open into the States for the last few days, but only one contact on that band for the celebration. 40M wasn't much better.
WB4MNK
Fun contest.
WG5T
6 contacts = over a million points. What a contest!
W5KAM
I had a great time with this and really enjoy working some of the DX stations like England, Cuba, etc.
W6QE
I got 7 new 070 Member Contacts, and several of those were on all 3 bands! My score is pitiful as was the propagation.
W7PAQ

Best score I have ever made in any contest!   Just wish I had more time to operate during the day on Saturday. But  2 new LONP members was worth the time.

AD5ZA
I was only able to operate a limited amount during the contest but nevertheless had a great time. Logged a few new 070 member numbers and also a few new grids. Thanks to all !!

Big fun, too bad I didn't have more time...
