CQ World Wide VHF Contest
| Call | Category | Comments | K2ZD | Single Op 6M | Poor conditions & low activity on CW/SSB Only Modes | K3HX | Single Op All | QUIET ON 6 OR 2 | K3JT | Single Op 6M | Got in at the last hour! FT8 only | K3RW | Single Op 2M | 2m FT8 activity was busy for first two hours then very little heard afterward. 6m FT8 activity was busy very little SSB heard. 6m submitted as checklog | K3TW | Single Op QRP | 'It's now time for a separate CQ WW VHF Contest for those who operate the digital modes. Many of those stations missed the strong band openings on CW and SSB this year.' | K5EK | Single Op All | Nice conditions Sunday afternoon | K5LY | Single Op 6M | Poor conditions | K5ND/R | Rover | This was a 2-grid rover operation with EM24 on | K5QE | Multi-Op | We had a decent contest this time. We were way short of ops, but everyone seems to be scared of the stupid virus. After just about wiping us out in the June ARRL contest, Murphy stayed away this time | K5RX | Single Op 6M | Only CW & SSB - I prefer to hear what I work. Is that so wrong? | K5ZG | Single Op All | very little cw or ssb operation. I gave up and operated ft8 for qsos..ugh shud have a category for mixed/no digital | K6ACJ | Single Op All | C U NEXT TIME | K6LMN/R | Rover | I have spent 4 hours to get this correct to you!!!! Please recheck my entry I am new at this | K6RM | Single Op 6M | Had a good time, but annoyed that there was virtually NO activity on CW OR ssb. Seems EVERYBODY has moved to FT8. So I did too. Thanks for the Qs | K7BWH | Checklog | This is a check log because I used internet assistance. I drove to 6200' Fox Peak CN98vc to activate rare grid square CN98 for grid chasers. This is camping on a knob for three days in the Cascade Mountains in Eastern Washington near Lake Chelan and Wenatchee. Operation was almost entirely 6m FT8 with high power and 6m5 antenna. Although we're nearing the end of the skip season, we enjoyed very good band openings across the country. Best contact was with Edfel KP4AJ in Puerto Rico, 3600 miles | K7CA | Single Op 6M | Great conditions. I was very surprised to be called by EA8DBM | K7EME | Single Op All | Great fun with new club! | K7IU | Single Op All | Best time yet during a VHF contest with 6m openings throughout. Wish more folks would use SSB than digital and spend as much time on 2m as they appeared to do on 6m but overall had a lot of fun! | K7IW | Hilltopper | First time participating in CQ WW VHF, but it's makes a great combination with Summits on the Air. Made several Summit to Summit contacts including some at nearly 100 miles easily | K7RE | Single Op 6M | Band was in very good shape at the beginning here, but faded into oblivion at the end of the contest | K7THU | Single Op All | Hi OM, My first Log submission for a contest ever! This is my Cabrillo log from WSJT-X, not sure if it will work. Noted the comments about JT Alert, but got lost in the details. No problem if Log is invalid, don't want you to waste any time on it! 73, Tom K7THU | K7YDL | Single Op All | Tried using on ly FT8 this contest | K8TE | Single Op All | I handed out a few contacts when I had time to check 6m and heard someone calling. 73, Bill, K8TE | K9GY | Single Op All | Lost reflectors on two beams due to winds and trying to put portable antenna up too high. Ugh... ordered new ones already! | KA0PQW | Single Op All | Fun contest only wish six meters would have been better. Thanks for having it. 73 Matt ka0pqw | KA3ZLS | Single Op 6M | Had fun operating the contest on a limited time frame. Band conditions on six meters during the day Saturday weren't all that good but Sunday afternoon things picked up and I was able to work out to the Midwest to pick up some well needed multipliers to help with the score. 73 de KA3ZLS | KA7RRA/R | Rover | I had fun in the contest | KA7YDF | Hilltopper | Had fun with my son participating in CQ WW VHF | KB7ME | Single Op All | All Digi contest for me. Never made a FM/CW/SSB Qso | KB8U | Single Op All | Had extended tropo to the southwest on 2m. Not many strong Es openings on 6m, but the weak openings were plentiful and geographically dispersed so there were seldom dead times | KC0VEP | Single Op 6M | First time on the CQ VHF Contest & first time trying FT8. Think I did OK | KC2HZW | Single Op 6M | My first digital contest. A lot of fun! | KC4PX | Single Op 6M | After many FT8 contacts finally found SSB during a nice band opening to Northeast which resulted in 50% SSB and 50% FT8 total Contacts. However I cannot understand why FT4 was not used. No real activity on 2 in EL98 so 100% was dedicated to 6 Meters. Previous week we had a great great opening to Alaska and Japan (finally worked my 6 Meter WAS) but no EU or JA's seen during the contest.A few CN and CM grids made it to EL98. Only real problem encountered was created by me.In the middle of the contest I wanted to change the color scheme with WSJT-X and JTAlert which resulted in no auto logging with VHF Contest Log by N3FJP. I spend an hour during the peak operating time trying to fix it. Stupid ME!!! With regards to FT4 can we get a VHF Contest that gives FT4 more activity points to increase activity? | KE4TH | Single Op 6M | Needed Maryland and worked 4 Maryland stations in a row! | KE6GFI | Single Op All | Brief double hop to the East - that was fun and exciting, KE6GFI | KF3G | Single Op 6M | Operated from FM29jw. Thank your for the CQ World Wide VHF Contest | KG5EIU | Single Op All | First CQ Contest!!! | KG9Z | Single Op 6M | Hardly any CW activity | KI4US | Single Op All | nice openings on 6m. propagation kind of ruined using the yagi as stations were in from all directions | KI5CXO | Single Op 6M | At 15 I enjoy this! 73 | KJ4LPI | Single Op 6M | First time to participate. Really enjoyed it. Glad 6M was open | KK4BZ/R | Rover | antenna=beam, equipment=IC746, comment=antennas were 6m moxon and 2m 3 element yagi, Thanks for the fun! | KK4ZUU | Single Op 6M | 1st CQ WW VHF, next time /R | KM4IAJ | Checklog | Not much heard on the contest weekend | KM4KMU | Single Op All | First contest running FT8 | KM5RG | Single Op All | Spotty propagation, Fast QSB. (Tough condx) | KM6ZJK/R | Rover | Enjoyed the contest. Happy with many 150-200 mile contacts with my mobile radio | KM8AM | Single Op 6M | 1st CQ WW VHF for me. Must say that FT-8 part of contesting is not for me. Nice for catching some grids, but like watching grass grow. But to each their own. Hope everyone had fun. Any day on the radio is a good day. 73, km8am | KQ2N | Single Op All | Contest should be split into seperate contests: CW/PH and FT8 | KV4ZY | Single Op All | Casual operating just for fun |
