This month's comments

December
AE0EE - Bill (49)	I managed to get on quite a bit this month, with the ARRL 160 and 10 meter contests taking up only part of the first two weekends. I also managed to get a bit more time at the shack than usual on Mondays and Fridays, which helped get me on the air (particularly on 80 and 160). While I didn't reach 50 unique numbers for brag this month, I did finish out my goal of double-digits for each of the last four months. Thanks for the QSOs, and see you on the air!
AF4K - Bry (48)	Busy month for me. I am going to spend more ime rag chewing I think. The awards are fun but I want to get to know some of the fine SKCC ops a bit better so am open to skeds for rag chew QSOs or jjust slightly longer ones! It should be fun. Getting a new antenna up soon. End fed wire with 9:1 UNUN. I will let you hear how it works! SHould help m eon 160m, 80m, 60m and 40m and even 30m.
AK4NY - Tom (62)	I've been slowing down on the number of QSO's focusing more on DX and ragchewing. If you see me on the air even if outside the normal SKCC frequencies, give me a shout always willing to chat. 73 de Tom
F5DE - Bernard (7)	Only seven brag contacts, the last one being with Eldon W0SZV (QRP 5 watts) half an hour before 2016 in France. I hope to do a few K3Y contacts but propagation is not very nice these days. 73 and HNY to everybody !
K0KEX - Rick (18)	Some great contacts as we come to the end of 2015. Looking forward to 2016 K3Y 10th anniversary event. Happy New Year to all...73 rick
K3CKO - Bob (74)	First time in brag.
K3ZGA - Bob (30)	This has been fun tracking these numbers. Thanks to all for the QSOs and hope everyone had a great Holiday. 73, K3ZGA
K4DJ - Rich (4)	Slow month. :)
K6III - Jerry (57)	All QSOs were hand keyed with the Vibroplex Vibrokey. All good fun. Jerry
K6JEB - Jack (201)	Nice to see what a little more time on the air is like. December closes-out the year with my own personal best for Monthly Brag. I have also been edging towards (only 14 more to go) Tx8! This month 80m and even 160m came into play a bit more. Also, the higher bands made a showing with even some activity to be found on 10m and even 6m! Here's a great New Year! 73 and dit dit!
K8JD - John (64)	December stats; This month I saw a lot of the first members again, from #1-999 I counted ten members, and among the newest members, above # 13000 were also ten members this month in my log!
KA3LOC - Ric (103)	Hope everyone had a good Christmas and got the toys they wanted. My wife bought me a new GHD GF-501A "Cootie Key" which is a dream to use. Have a Happy New Year, and enjoy SKN & K3Y. Best 73 es God Bless in 2016. Ric
KA8HFN - Larry (54)	Thank You for all of the FB CW QSO's. Happy New Year. 73, Larry KA8HFN SKCC# 2046S
KB0ETU - Phil (12)	Not great, but at least a few contacts were made. HNY, 72/73, Phil
KB0QVT - Bryan (3)	OK, it's only 3. But two of them (#'s 14598 and 14042) were made operating portable from my inlaw's place. End Fed Wire hanging from a tree not more than 8-10 feet up, while I sat in the garage operating my KX3. That was fun!
KB1WOD - Dave (94)	Thanks for all the Brag QSOs everyone!
KB2HSH - John (2)	2015 has been a busy year, indeed. With travel and all of the major telecom projects I have been involved in (at the World Trade Center, among them) I only had time for a few. Happy New Year! John KB2HSH
KC7RUN - Lan (58)	Looking forward to another great year in SKCC.
KF5NRO - George (82)	Thanks SKCC. Had to catch up at the end of the month. New high water mark.
KK4UOE - Elton (61)	December was a good month for me, even though I didn't get nearly as many contacts as in November. I took a lot of time off from the key to spend time with visiting family this Christmas. Time to rock the new year, though!
KZ5OM - Jerry (56)	All QSO were hand sent using the Vibroplex Vibrokey. HNY-2016 to all. Jerry
LB6BG - Mick (4)	In the few nights when I was awake, we often had aurora. Many other things to do at day time, and it is difficult to get into the USA with my set-up right now :-(
N0CVW - Charlie (35)	Light month in December.. Too many holiday activities, I guess!
N3PDT - Doug (10)	First brag for me in a long time. Logged 10 QSOs with members outside of sprints this month, including a really nice ragchew with Ed W7GVE. And speaking of Ed, my YF Rebecca and I had a really really nice eyeball QSO with Ed and Rick K7CHS earlier in December in Kingman, AZ. Truly a highlight of the trip out west. 73 -Doug
N4IVE - David (28)	Another great month among the SKCC crowd. Looking forward to the new year. I especially enjoyed the MacGyver key sprint this month. That was a load of fun.
N4OSB - Dan (35)	Got my "C" during December and working on my "T"...Thanks to all the contacts that helped//N4OSB
N4OW - Al (65)	Enjoyed the year of Brags - Local Noise is effecting my night time operations - if I find a cure the counts will improve :) Thanks to Curt for all the time he devotes to the BRAG. 73 de N4ow AL
N9SE - Marty (42)	Great to hear the activity --and all the new members!
NC4RT - Randy (9)	MAX = 14375T / WA4MXT Paul MIN = 83T / WB9HFK Mark And thanks Tom AK4NY for being the guinea pig on my new 80m wire…
NP3CW - Julio (7)	Not too active last December 2015. Good luck to all, Happy New Year. Tnx for your excellent work Curt with the Brag Program.
VA5CW - Bill (41)	Met a few new ops this month, and had some real nice ragchews. It's always a pleasure to find someone willing to chat for a few minutes. I hope everyone has a good 2016.
W0SZV - Eldon (70)	all qrp for the month of Dec. 5 watts with a K3s, vertical, g5rv up 20ft and 160m loop up 25ft. always a cootie for key
W2SFD - George (105)	Awesome way to end the year, thanks to all the members that I worked for my all time, one month best score. HNY!
W4KRN - Karen (2)	Darn...thought I had a few more.
W7GVE - Ed (39)	This hobby began back in 1955--I have been active about 1/3 of the time-- Not much happened during the Novice year-- but got active from Las Cruces NM in 60s and then from WY in the 70S. Been with the SKCC long enough now to have worked 3,713 different stations-- and just picked up a FTDX1200 so hopefully I will be more active--- So far I Have 223 countrys but DX just for fun--- Congrats to SKCC for much fun 73/W7GVE//ED
WA2JSG - Curt (16)	Just a note of thanks to all the Brag Participants for another great year. Looks like we closed out the year with our best month ever! Looking forward to another great year of 2016.
WB5JWI - Les (27)	Been QRT since January - felt really good to get back on the air. Thanks to all who worked me.
WL7WH - Bob (1)	Antenna down alot of this month (high winds etc.) hope to do better next month!!
WU1V - Rick (137)	I really put the rubber to the road this month and nailed my Tx8, hence the large (for me) number of QSOs. Now I'm gently sailing towards my "S" hihi.

Previous comments by month/call

January
AB6YA - Warren (14)	QRP 5 Watts - Slow month LOL
AE0EE - Bill (14)	Not a lot of time to get on the air, but the QSOs I made were quite enjoyable. Most of the time I was working with the new bug and trying to iron out some of the QLF issues with that. Thanks for the QSOs and see you on the air soon!
AF4K - Bry (153)	73 to all and see you ALL again in February! Bry, AF4K
AH6AX - Larry (141)	Another fine bunch of QSOs "in the log"!
AK4NY - Tom (244)	This is first time I have submitted a count for the brag. It didn't seem that busy although a lot of folks were on the air for K3Y.
F5DE - Bernard (25)	no SKS-E, no WES, no K3Y contacts counted. Let's go for another brag activity in 2015. 73 de Bernard, working for his Senator !
F6HKA - Bert (639)	JANUARY WAS A GREAT
K0KEX - Rick (30)	Who new..worked 5 SKCC members on SKN, 5 new SKCC members, 3 2X QRP, others working on "S". Managed to get sweep for K0KEX and put new member W0KCN KC North ARES skcc 13281 on the air for a sweep..now realize how much fun was had in January. Thanks to everyone...73 Rick
K6III - Jerry (120)	No K3y, WES or SKS contacts were counted in this Brag log. But, I also had a GRAND SWEEP in the K3Y activity! Most QSOs were at 100w but I also added to the 1xQRP and 2xQRP logs. HNY es 73 de Jerry in NorCal
K8JD - John (124)	Busy month and lots of old and new numbers went into the log.
KA8HFN - Larry (223)	Thank You for all of the contacts. GL es 73, Larry KA8HFN SKCC# 2046T
KB0ETU - Phil (5)	Not many, but it's a start.
KB2HSH - John (25)	This is my first submission for the SKCC and the Brag. I have been having a ton of fun working traditional straight-key sent CW...even though I'm mostly an Iambic A/single-lever kind of guy. Whether it's on the air, on the Facebook page, or on the K3UK "sked" page, the SKCC ops are the best in Amateur Radio...bar none. Hopefully, by the next submission, I will have worked enough members for my Centurion Award!
KZ5OM - Jerry (38)	No k3y, WES or SKS contacts were counted in this Brag Log score. Most QSOs were at the 100w level but also added several the 1xQRP and 2xQRP logs. HNY de Jerry in NorCal
LB6BG - Mick (10)	Lost my antennas in extreme storms around Jan 12 and needed long time to get something up again. Lots of family activities in January. Was not qrv very often.
N4OW - Al (127)	A fun month with K3Y going full tilt, rounding up Brags was a bit more difficult .... look forward to February. Thanks to all for the contacts. CW LIVES !!!
N5OBC - Mark (18)	Big month here, right handed, had right shoulder rotator repaired so I had to learn to send left handed. The best in the end was the VizKey Cootie with a straight key for when i got flustered. Thanks to all the folks I worked on and off K3Y. I had a great month, radio helped keep me sane through the initial recovery and I got a 3 watt sweep. If i worked you it was at 3 watts. Thats all I'm running this year.
NC4RT - Randy (58)	Includes 24 "regular" QSOs, and 34 K3Y/4 QSOs. This was my first year operating K3Y... It was a blast! Many thanks to all those who work extra hard to make this event available for us. Special thanks to my region's coordinator Wes W1LIC. I've worked enough on projects like this to appreciate the constant effort and general sheepdogging he put in for the days leading up to and during January
NW7US - Tomas (309)	I operated as K3Y/0 during a good number of shifts. This allowed me a great chance to have QSOs with many members as well as non-members. Conditions varied, but Morse code on CW mode made it work. I sure appreciate everyone that made contact with me. It was exciting, and my final score was a personal best. Let's hope the rest of the year sees a lot of activity like this...
PH6SKCC - Jan (28)	Work only in januari with this special calsign. Greetings from the Netherlands. BTW: with PH6SKCC i have my C in only zeven months
V31JP - Joe (3)	Too much and many things going on in January, but squeezed in a few Qs.
VA3LFY - Alan (72)	Had some very nice contacts for January 2015
VA5CW - Bill (276)	Decided to take the plunge and register as a K3Y/NA op during the last 8 days of the event, (with a bit of encouragement from Marc, VE9CRM) so that was a new experience for me. I may try that again, even tho I am rather "pile up challenged".
W4KRN - Karen (99)	67 contacts made while K3Y/4, the rest were helping others gain C, T, or S.
W4RQ - Rich (145)	BRAG taxed my lack of accounting skills this month. So many fellow SKCCers on the air, many of whom I had not heard during the previous 12 months. Many Founding Members, and many brand new members with numbers over 13,000. I hope everyone got into the habit of being on the air this month and continue that habit throughout the year. In February I look forward to making 1x and 2xQRP Contacts with many of you, that's my 2 Dits - Rich - W4RQ
W7GVE - Ed (74)	Made k3y clean sweep--Maybe I spent more time than I expected but it was fun....made 60 new calls and a bundle of sprint QSOs so it was a nice month for me...73/ED/W7GVE
WA2JSG - Curt (24)	What a fun and busy month for SKCC. A great time for all! Missed the Grand Sweep, but had fun doing what I did. Even made a couple dozen Brag contacts, too. (hi hi) See y'all on the air!
WA4FAT - Bill (136)	Another fine month of enjoyable rag chews, new acquaintances, and SKCC camaraderie. Thanks to all!
WL7WH - Bob (14)	Busy month with k3y, but managed to get in some regular qso's. Looking forward to next month....as always fun!!
February
AB5XM - Allan (7)	I saw this Monthly Brag listed among the contests and thought I'd give it a try. Not a big score but enjoyed getting all 7 of them. I'll try again next month! Thanks and 73, Allan, AB5XM
AE0EE - Bill (9)	Not a lot of time for operating this month, but did get on the air a little. Thanks for the QSOs!
AF2Z - Drew (3)	All my radio time went to sprints and FE this month; not much left over.
AF4K - Bry (149)	Great month for SKCC but had lots of other activities to take care of - especially the Novice Rig Roundup. Watch for a much better MARCH score from me (grin!)
AK4NY - Tom (106)	This was a tough month, ice storm took out power for 2 days and tree limbs falling took out antenna. It took me 2 weeks to get in new wire, rebuild and rehang antenna. Hopefully, I am past the bad winter weather and tree limbs will stay attached to trees
F5DE - Bernard (5)	Retired OM as I am have less time to operate their radio station than working OM, isn't it ? Only five contacts for my brag result this month, what a poor activity ! 73 everybody and see you soon !
K0KEX - Rick (57)	A fun month filled with interesting contacts. 27 new members, 9 1X QRP & 13- 2X QRP contacts, a couple of MPW qso's SP9NLI & JR2IUB. I think the most fun..N5XE & me..Blue Racer's head to head..just a bunch of fun...73 Rick
K4DJ - Rich (21)	Not many Brags to report for February. Old XP computer died and spent most of my time getting programs up and running on W8.1 machine.
K6III - Jerry (76)	Several new numbers worked this month. Jerry
K7CHS - Rick (4)	Hello everyone, trying to get back into the swing of things here and do some more CW. Hope to see you on the air. 73, Rick
K8JD - John (71)	I have been chasing 15 M QSOs and not making a lot of contacts on the other bands this month.
K8SOR - Skip (11)	Slow month here too. Camping season coming soon.
KA8HFN - Larry (46)	Thank You for all of the QSO's. GL es 73, Larry KA8HFN SKCC#2046T
KB2HSH - John (40)	February was a busy month for me here in Springbrook...a few contests (some RTTY contests, of course)...a couple fo trips to work in my Manhattan office...hopefully, the warm weather will fall upon us here in the Buffalo Metropolitan area, and my numbers in the Spring will be mostly outdoors operations with my NEW 49'er transceiver along with the EF antenna courtesy of KA4RUR as well as a SOTA Beams "Mountain EndFed Tuner" (bought for me by my children). MARCH is the month for St. Patrick's Day (THE HIGH HOLY DAY)...have a drop of the "creature", and we'll see you on the air!!! John KB2HSH
KE9V - Jeff (47)	Slow month. Longer daylight hours might not help. Need more free time. Maybe a set of yellow-handled time stretchers? HI!
KZ5OM - Jerry (71)	Several new numbers worked this month. Jerry
N4OW - Al (155)	Lots of fun working the new numbers and the old numbers, keeps the fist in good shape. CW is A-ONE ! Thanks to all for the contacts . 73 de N4ow
N8BB - Werner (15)	Ok, so I got a few but not many.
N9SE - Marty (94)	Business travel took its toll this month, but still had a lot of fun. This is only my second month submitting my brag report. I think this is a nice activity, complementing the sprints. I like the sprints, but this gets us active all month, not just in short bursts.
NC4RT - Randy (39)	Thanks for 2 x qrp contacts with W4TMW, KV4RH, KB5JO, K1ND (and W1SFR during the WES).
VA3LFY - Alan (21)	May be better next month
VA5CW - Bill (7)	Not doing much lately, other than browsing around for a ragchew here and there, as well as dropping in on the sked page now and then to see if anyone needs my number, so brags are few.
VO1BB - Bill (2)	another busy month for radio hi hi
W0SZV - Eldon (48)	Pretty good month. Bad weather sure makes for more radio time
W2SFD - George (32)	I'm getting better with my CW thanks to SKCC. Appreciate all my contacts very much!
W4KRN - Karen (9)	Hope to work more regular ole contacts in March. Was more active in the Sprints, Fun Event and chasing DX.
W7GVE - Ed (43)	A below average month for me.. but I enjoyed my 43 QSOS..Between ragchewing and the sprints SKCC gives me all of the CW I need.... CUL 73 to all...ED/W7GVE
WA4FAT - Bill (46)	Thanks to all for the numerous entertaining rag chews in February. It was definitely a month of quality over quantity. Best wishes!
WB5HQO - Forrest (11)	There's always next month!
March
AE0EE - Bill (15)	Added a few more numbers this month, though operating time still less than I would like. I had a nice run on a Friday afternoon, including working a sked with W1UL arranged ~18 hours in advance (no internet in the shack 70 miles from home). Now I'm just one QSO shy of Tx2 (I import into SKCC Logger offline after the fact; had I known I was so close I may have added another QSO or two. It's more reason to get on in April, though!
AH6AX - Larry (36)	Slow month for me...will try to get a few more for April!
AK4NY - Tom (124)	This has been a slow radio month here. We are still cleaning up from a major ice storm and spring is happening. So along with gathering and burning down trees and tree limbs we are attending the gardens and orchard. Peaches and plums have bloomed, pears are blooming now and apples have yet to break bud. I have been focusing on working members that I have not had a QSO with in the past so the vast majority of my QSO's this month are first time contacts. I would like to make it to Cx20 by the end of this year.
F5DE - Bernard (23)	73 to the group and see you soon !
K0KEX - Rick (67)	Worked 17 new members, 12 DX contacts and increased personal monthly count by 10. That said..it's spring in Missouri..lots to do outside...73 & thanks to all Rick
K6III - Jerry (93)	I am also KZ5OM (twice the fun when you have two calls!)
K7CHS - Rick (1)	My first satellite CW contact K9CIS Frank. Only problem is that it does not count for a BRAG qso because I was using a keyer and paddle. But I am bragging about it !
K8SOR - Skip (12)	No time to operate---Getting yard work done and getting ready for camping season.
KA8HFN - Larry (175)	Thank You for all of the QSO's. Good Luck es 73, Larry KA8HFN
KB2HSH - John (47)	Better results this month. Had a few "mini-pileups" going on a few occasions. Cheers and see you in April
KJ5WU - Kurt (13)	Getting better and am planning on even higher totals this month.
KZ5OM - Jerry (81)	I am also K6iii (twice the fun when you have two calls!)
N4OW - Al (244)	Lots of fun working many first time SKCC QSO's. Welcome to all the new members I met along the way. 73 de N4ow Al
N8BB - Werner (31)	Qrp was g for most of the month but things got pretty poor at the end. KX3 fan dipole 80/40 20 and up 2 el yagi
N9SE - Marty (154)	This was an active month for me as I worked to finish qualifying for Senator. I also moved the shack back down to the basement where I have more room and won't disturb the family as much. I'm looking forward to getting some antenna work done as the weather begins warming up a little.
NC4RT - Randy (38)	10 were qrp, mostly 2 x... Numbers ranged from 13605 to 1854. Most of them were on my new Czech key.. I've found a real keeper with this one. Very smooth, easy to adjust, solid feel.
NP3CW - Julio (30)	Tnx Curt for the email. I was not aware of the ending time. Also congrats for the FB work u are doing for the benefit of all SKCC members.Will hear you soon on the bands. GL de Julio NP3CW
NU4M - Greg (13)	13 more than I thought I would get. I need to get on radio more.
VA3LFY - Alan (21)	21 SKCC contacts would have done better but have been off sick.
VA5CW - Bill (31)	Just browsing around a bit these months, and am happy with a one a day average.
VO1BB - Bill (3)	another busy month on the bands hi
W0SZV - Eldon (75)	Pretty good month for me. Need to get up more wire
W2SFD - George (69)	Another great month for my CW. Thanks all.
W4KRN - Karen (2)	Pitiful
W7GVE - Ed (70)	Good month for getting back on track... I just worked my 3500 skcc member... My congrats go to K7CHS -Rick in Kingman AZ who beat me in the SKS--- Freqs are getting a bit bare at times so I thinking this must be the slow time.. CUL 73/ED
WA2JSG - Curt (21)	My goal is 1 Brag contact a day, but somehow I always manage to fall short (hi hi).
WA4FAT - Bill (44)	Paltry activity from me during the month of March, but numerous high-quality QSOs never-the-less. Thanks to all!
WB4OMM - Steve (74)	My first "Brag" report! Was surprised to see how many SKCC folks I worked in March 2015. Will try to upload every month! 72/72! Steve WB4OMM
WB5HQO - Forrest (8)	All QRP
WB8YXF-Fr Richard (0)	Well...... no real excuses. Haven't been on the air for a couple of months. My dipole doesn't work as it once did.... and I have not taken the time to put together my GAP Titan..... and this past few long weeks were busy with Church events, and...... Prayerfully soon. Have a great and blessed day. 73 and God Bless
April
AF4K - Bry (80)	A rough month for propagation!
AK4NY - Tom (187)	This has been a pretty good month, band conditions are beginning to transition into summer condx, so QRN is picking up significantly. I am assuming the use of the SKCC skimmer is increasing because I am ending up with pileups on my CQ's. This has never happened before outside of one of the sprints so that is helping out the count quite a bit. I have been using the Blue Racer more and more and am getting fairly comfortable with it in the 17 -21 WPM area, still need a lot more practice to make life easier for folks on the receiving end. Hope everyone is having fun, hope to see you on the air. 73 de Tom
F5DE - Bernard (15)	73 to all, see you soon !
K0JZS - Justin (3)	40m attic dipole, MFJ-9240, straight key (Ameco). See my cw webpage at youtube.com/channel/UCntP2mBzr3zQp-UxpRwygcg/playlists. Thanks, Justin, K0JZS
K0KEX - Rick (25)	Thanks to 12 new members for first qso's this month. It was nice to catch HP/KC0GP/MM George during his cruise. It was a busy time around here in April..Hope we have a big turnout for the May WES...that should be fun...73 Rick
K6III - Jerry (31)	Kind of a slow month for SKCC. I did most or the contacts with QRP 5w (Elecraft K2) working on 1xQRP and 2xQRP, WAS & WASc, etc. Another interest is logging ALL the SENATORS. About 6 or 7 are missing from my logs. 10/12 bands have been poor, lately. I have been concentrating on the awards for my Club Call, KZ5OM (separate report). I expect to play in the WES and SKS events. Jerry
K7CHS - Rick (4)	Had first official straight key satellite QSO with Frank K9CIS on sat FO-29. Thanks Frank. Rick / K7CHS Kingman, Az
K9DAC - Tom (4)	REALLY SLOW MONTH
KA8HFN - Larry (144)	Thank You for all of the GREAT QSO's. GL es 73, Larry KA8HFN SKCC#2046T
KB2HSH - John (9)	Happy Spring, everyone. My April results are with my brand spankin' new LNR Precision "Mountain Topper" rig. All of the QSOs from here on are going to be QRP...see you in May...
KC7RUN - Lan (52)	I’m getting there. Thanks for all the great contacts.
KZ5OM - Jerry (78)	Kind of a slow month for SKCC. I did most or the contacts with QRP 5w (Elecraft K2) working on 1xQRP and 2xQRP, WAS & WASc, etc. 10/12 bands have been poor, lately. I am also K6III (separate report).
N4OW - Al (135)	Lots of local RFI this month made the brag a challenge. Always fun to meet the newest members of SKCC. See you all in MAY ! 73 de N4ow
N9SE - Marty (88)	Air time is starting to get sparse with the arrival of spring. April marked my first QSO using a sideswiper. I modified an old beat up bug by using a rubber band to anchor the end of the pendulum arm. All that was left to do was to adjust the contact spacing ...oh, and practice : ) After I gained some confidence, I really like it. I don't forsee a sideswiper completely replacing my bug, but it definitely is a pleasant experience. I suppose I need to start thinking about a purpose-built sideswiper (any recommendations?). The nice thing is that I don't have to use the straight key in the car now. I just use the Begali paddles that are mounted to the front of my KX3 with the key input set to manual.
NC4RT - Randy (77)	Includes 8 2xqrp, 3 1xqrp QSOs… I got my Tx8 and collected about 100 of the last 200 for S (including WES contacts)… Thanks Mark K7MJG for Skimmer, a very helpful application…
NP3CW - Julio (40)	A little more activity than last March 2015. Good luck to all
VA5CW - Bill (47)	Just logging a few contacts here and there these days.
VO1BB - Bill (3)	Good times, Good times
W4JBB - Joel (5)	After three months off the air, I was finally able to dodge enough rain to get my vertical re-installed and all new radials stapled down. All contacts this month were QRP.
W4KRN - Karen (4)	Hopefully I'll have more in May. :-D
W7GVE - Ed (67)	Another nice month of good ragchews...I will be putting up new LMR400 coax soon -- should help my signal... Best DX of the month was with WA2JSG-- CUL 73 ED/W7GVE
WB5HQO - Forrest (8)	All QRP
May
AB5XM - Allan (4)	Enjoyed the May QSOs.
AF4K - Bry (101)	Made a bunch of new contacts this month even though I would like to have made a lot more if this was allowed during WES !! Seems like propagation was tough in May, but also I have been very busy working on a new mini beam antenna from TGM Communnications that will soon see duty on the new tower! I look forward to many SKCC QSOs in the near future, especially on the WARC bands. 73 to all!
AH6AX - Larry (60)	Another fun month of ham radio is done - had a ball at Dayton; thus, the small number of Brag QSOs... Curt - enjoyed working with ya at Dayton, my friend! - Aloha, Larry
AK4NY - Tom (184)	Bands are transitioning into summer patterns, QRN is up significantly here. I was hoping to end the month with a big flurry but with a major contest going on, it seems SKCC took to the sidelines, so I think I managed 2 QSO's this weekend. I hope everyone has had a fun filled month on the air, I sure have, hoping to CU AGN 73 de Tom AK4NY
F5DE - Bernard (5)	I was very busy this month but got enough contacts to be on the active brag list. 73 to all and see you soon!
K0KEX - Rick (7)	A busy month for me but still managed four new members along with Special event N2L/K2IZ...thanks to all 73, Rick
K6III - Jerry (13)	Casual ops - All QRP 5w. focused on my club call, KZ5OM, this month.
K8JD - John (70)	Since I have been spending my time on 15M waiting for a band opening, I have not been adding up many SKCC numbers. Halfway to my single band endorsements on 15M now. Good month for me
KA8HFN - Larry (107)	Thank You for all of the QSO's. GL es 73,Larry
KB2HSH - John (1)	Not much in the way of Amateur Radio during the month of May. Very busy with kids' baseball games and the ongoing project at the Queenston Lewiston Bridge. Also, my antenna has been down for maintenance for a couple of weeks. I might need to start operating mobile. 73 for now.
KC0MYW - Nick (7)	Just got my number on May 23 so not too bad!
KC7RUN - Lan (236)	100 for C, 50 for T, 50 more for X2T plus more since May 13, 2015. Technically I got more contacts but screwed up my logs. This count is what I can account for accurately
KZ5OM - Jerry (60)	Most QSOs were QRP (rig = Elecraft K2). I finished up the 2xQRP award this month. Now I want to finish up the WAS-QRP & WAS/c-QRP awards. I am missing a few there. What next? Well, there is the unofficial WAS-Senator to try for (NOT all states have a Senator member, yet - but I am watching the list grow.)
LB6BG - Mick (40)	Condx getting better at my night time (I am mainly qrv after 01:00 UTC)- still it's not allways easy for me to get a good signal into USA. But it's fun again after the frustrating winter-condx.
N4OW - Al (132)	Always fun to work the new SKCC members and old timers. Wishing everyone a good Summer Season. de N4ow
N9SE - Marty (73)	I think my number of SKCC QSOs in inversely proportional to Nice Weather + Travel :) Great to meet several of you at Dayton this month. See you on the air soon. 73 de Marty, N9SE
NC4RT - Randy (108)	The "low" and "high" member numbers for me were 201 and 13,718 this month. And I made contact with another member in my hometown (AG4IP)! Thanks to AK4JA, K1NAJ, NV4U, K8FAC, and NX1K for 2 x QRPs. Thanks to all who made my final trek to S productive and fun. Special thanks to K3UK and K7MJG for their spotting applications
NM1W - Jim (118)	Enjoying SKCC and tks to Mark K7MJG for Skimmer. Band conditions werent great but I had a good time making qsos and meeting new friends;
NP3CW - Julio (63)	Thanks for remembering me of the Brag to WA2JSG.
NX1K - Mark (98)	First month keeping track. Thanks for all the great QSOs.
VA5CW - Bill (34)	Mostly ragchewing these days, but always happy to exchange a brag here and there.
VK4GJW - Greg (1)	Finally made my very first SKCC contact! YAY! Only 99 short of a Centurion! Go me!
W1LIC - Wes (8)	Nice to be back on the air in late May after a few months away
W4JBB - Joel (12)	All QRP. 2xQRP w/ AE0SL.
W4KRN - Karen (27)	A little better for this month. :-)
W4RQ - Rich (39)	The majority of my Brag QSOs this month were made 5/19 thru 5/26 from EM85KM90, a rented cabin on a ridge overlooking Maggie Valley, NC where my XYL and I retreated to recuperate after our hectic weekend in Dayton! We thoroughly enjoyed the Hamfest, and especially meeting so many of the SKCC folks. It was was great to have a face to face with Y'all! Definitively, Dayton again next year !
W7GVE - Ed (44)	Not a big number this month, but I enjoyed my QSOs very much. This forum is sure good to use as a record of how things are going for me.. Hope to cu OTA..73 ED/W7GVE
WA2JSG - Curt (23)	Most of my Brag QSOs this month were made from my rented condo in Cobbly Nob in the TN Smokies. One of my QSOs was with brag participant Rich W4RQ, who was operating from his rented cabin on the other side of the mountain in Maggie Valley, NC (thanks Rich). Really a fun time after the rigors of Dayton Hamvention.
June
AB5XM - Allan (6)	We had so many lightning storms in June that it wasn't safe to operate many day. But I enjoyed the contacts that I did make, including some great chats.
AE0EE - Bill (1)	Not a lot of SKCC time this month; one QSO right at the beginning. Most of my CW this month came from the bug, though. I did have a few skeds with an SKCC member who was using an iambic (not counted for SKCC credit), and I put in several hours and >100 QSOs during Field Day (at my local club) using the bug. I'm hoping to increase the SKCC count in July, but there seems to be a lot of stuff going on that's getting in the way (storms, needing to operate portable on HF, DXpedition planning for VK0EK, and more physical activity among them). I'd love to catch some SKCCers on 6m, especially if they're in a new grid (which for me is most of them).
AF4K - Bry (247)	Sorry it took so long to send in - been super busy and it takes some effort to sort out the DUPES in my AC2C log and eliminate them!!
AH6AX - Larry (134)	Another fun month! Was especially fun to work Don (HC4/W4BWS) (Ecuador) on 4 bands within one hour!
AK4NY - Tom (146)	Things slowed down this month, between outside chores, thunderstorms and CME's. There was a lot of activity around WES and SKS but generally not a lot of people on the air. I am enjoying meeting new members and ragchewing with old ones. Hope everyone had a fun month, hope to cu on the air in July. 73 de Tom
F5DE - Bernard (11)	One more time this month activity was slight. I appreciated to be the first SKCC contact for new member Erik LA5XTA. 73 de Bernard and see you soon!
G0DJA - Dave (0)	Once again, I have managed to work no SKCC members whilst using a straight key in June 2015. This adds to my current score of zero since I obtained my SKCC number. In July I will be on the Balearic Isles, as EA6/G0DJA/A, or else EA6/G0DJA/P, with a few Watts to a simple antenna from the hotel or maybe out and about. One day I hope to work my first SKCC member, whilst I am also using a straight key or bug. Dave (G0DJA)
K0KEX - Rick (7)	Another busy month and little time for fun contacts. Field Day and the weather events kept us busy in the midwest. 73 Thanks for the contacts Rick
K6III - Jerry (29)	concentrated on the club call KZ5OM
K7DMB - Larry (92)	New Antenna making a world of difference
K8JD - John (62)	Most of the member numbers I logged this month were in the 10K-10999 range, second were the 7k-7999 group ! Had one in the 14K new member group ! See you braggers next month !
KA8HFN - Larry (42)	Thank You for all of the QSO's. GL es 73, Larry KA8HFN
KC0MYW - Nick (1)	Not much to brag about here, but figured I'd send it in anyway.
KC7RUN - Lan (126)	Slow month. Been busy with work.
KZ5OM - Jerry (67)	Another slow SKCC month.
N4OW - Al (146)	A good month, my indoor "farmers" had the Grow lights turned off and 6 meters afforded some new SKCC'ers to be added to my members worked count (1428). Lots of fun. CU all in July. 73 de AL, N4ow
N9SE - Marty (36)	As I suspected, summer is here and radio time gets limited : )
NP3CW - Julio (4)	Have been very active on the 6M Summer Marathon of UKSMG looking for grids square. Only 4 SKCC members worked this June 2015. They were 2046S, 3622,7720 and 11024T. 73 Julio
NX1K - Mark (31)	Away for much of the month. Only 31 members, but still lots of fun.
W4JBB - Joel (1)	All QRP. Was a busy month for me. Not much radio happening.
W4KRN - Karen (5)	Another pitiful month. Too much yardwork, t-storms and a trip to the Blue Ridge mountains. Will hope for more contacts to brag about in July. :-) 73 all
W6JMP - Gene (59)	As they say in MLB June swoon. hi
W7GVE - Ed (45)	Had a lot of other commitments but enjoyed the time I had on the air.... its great to see all the new numbers-- CU on the air..73/W7GVE/ED
July
AB5XM - Allan (13)	I was lucky to get 13 this month. Of course I got a few more on SKS and WES. As always, I really enjoyed the contacts I did make and thanks & 73 for my QSOs!
AF4K - Bry (173)	It was a tough month with summer conditions that tend to hit us especially hard here in Florida. Still a great month for SKCC fun anyway. I finally have a TGM 2 element mini beam up which helped me to conact 9J2BO, CN8YR, HP2SM, KL7IDA, OK2BWV, P43R, UU1CC, XE3WMA and ZL2BLQ this month. Special thanks to everyone who got on 6m again. I made one super nice SKCC contact on 6m with K0MC. Not as great as June but still fun. Good to talk with everyone!
AK4NY - Tom (92)	I am operating under summer conditions, QRN is high, thunderstorms are frequent and many outside chores need to be accomplished, all of which mean less time on the air. But in spite of that I had a fun month, when I can't find an SKCC member in the evening, I've been chasing DX contacts working on DXCC. If you are looking for a brag qso with me, I am on the air most mornings 8-9AM EST and evenings after 8:30PM on 7053.5, 7057.5, 14053.5 or 14057.5. Check the CW Clubs RBN for a spot of me. I normally CQ at least every 10 minutes when I am avail.
F5DE - Bernard (33)	In addition to SKS-E and WES, at last a better Brag result than usual! Thanks to all SKCC friends contacted this month!
K0KEX - Rick (8)	An interesting contact with VE3UTA Bob on 2M FM as he was passing thru the KC Mo area. I had worked Bob on 3/31/2015 on 20 CW for March brag but did not count as July brag Qso. 73 Rick
K6III - Jerry (24)	another slow month.
K6JEB - Jack (42)	Since the holidays, I've had a rising level of QRN across across the bands that I had thought was a product of the waning Cycle 24. One day a few days ago, the XYL was gone and I turned-off all the power in the house (and had my rig on battery back up). Well, just like when you go out into the country and look up and see stars just blanketing the sky, I suddenly heard further by thousands of miles in all directions and I realized that QRN was coming from my property. I've since sussed-out two bad wall-warts and will be seeking the rest of the offending things adding noise to the spectrum. That explains the one-way propagation. QRP is sounding like fun again! 72/73!
KM4IXK - David (49)	I really enjoy the SKCC. Never made so many contacts before I was a member. Some people just want to exchange numbers and move on and that is fine but many will stay and chat and that is what I am mostly interested in. Thank you SKCC :)
KZ5OM - Jerry (72)	another slow month.
N3ADF - Jim (62)	My 1st Brag. It took awhile to weed out the dupes, SKS, and WES QSO's. Average 2 QSO's per day. Got quite a few new high SKCC numbers which boosted my Prefix count almost to 6xPrefix. 62 SKCC Members 35 S/P/C 5 C 18 T 18 S 4 members without CTS
N4OW - Al (112)	Generally poor conditions in July and other projects kept a lid on my Brags .... always nice to meet and greet new members. 73 de N4OW Al/cootie - see you in the WES with my cootie !
N5JPX - Jim (13)	No a stellar month of contacts but I had fun when the antenna worked and the bands were open a little. My big brag for the month was working G�RDO for his Tx7. Let's hope August has cooler temps and better band conditions. 73, Jim
N9SE - Marty (38)	Having fun with summer activities. Also getting some antenna work done, I took down my 40M NVIS antenna @15' and put up a 20M/40M dipole @35'. Today, I plan to put up a 20M/40M @70' and a 17M/30M @50'. I want to compare the upper/lower 20M antennas before I put up any more antennas. I miss working many of you. I also need to plan another camping/Fly Fishing/SOTA trip before winter arrives so you may hear me signing /portable again. Until next month, 73 de Marty, N9SE
NC4RT - Randy (15)	Off the pace this month... family vacations, bad conditions, and perhaps a bit of post-S relaxing at work. But I did manage a 2 x qrp (thanks Jim N4JPX). The range in the numbers I qso'd was 482T - 13782T; not bad for such a small sample. Best wishes to all. I love seeing the new C's and T's coming right along nearly each day.
NM1W - Jim (174)	Thanks to everyone for the QSOs! Band conditions never seemed to be great, but plenty of qsos were made.
NP3CW - Julio (20)	I was not to active this month. Good luck to all stations active this month. 73 Julio
NX1K - Mark (15)	More travel and other commitments limited my radio time. Thanks to those who were around when I needed them.
W4JBB - Joel (13)	All QRP
W4KRN - Karen (1)	1 pitiful contact.
W7GVE - Ed (27)	A nice month, but several days no one could be heard while I was on the air..... Good QSOs where I could find them… 73 ED/W7GVE
WU1V - Rick (11)	My first month of activity since March, not much to "brag" about but glad to be back in the fray, LOL! All QRP QSOs this brag report. 72, Rick
August
AF4K - Bry (227)	He folks - AF4K here; the former G3XLQ from Cambridge, England. This has been the toughest month in a long time. I have a new TGM mini beam up at 30 feet which helps a lot. However, the antennas needed to be disconnected almost every day for extended periods of time this month. The rainy season in Florida, and summer HF conditions are both unrelenting forces! That being said - many of you persevered and got through to me. CW lives! Many thanks to all of my enthusiastic SKKC ops, and we look forward to a much better month in September and especially October. "QRN, go away. Come again another day!" Old English saying about rain!
AK4NY - Tom (126)	QRN levels starting to come down as well as less thunderstorm activity so QSO's are improving. Another fun month - hope to see you on the air 73 de tom
F5DE - Bernard (10)	One more time, it was nice to have a few contacts outside SKS-E and WES with SKCC friends! 73 to all and see you next time.
K0JV - Jerry (0)	August was a truly spectacular month. I worked absolutely no one in August and am proud to enter a ZERO for inclusion on the August bragging rights list :) 73 from the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota de K0JV
K0JZS - Justin (2)	W8DJ and WA1HFF on 40m, Thanks,
K0KEX - Rick (8)	Thanks to all for the contacts...looking forward to better conditions this fall....73
K3ZGA - Bob (25)	Enjoyed counting up the SKCC QSO's! Thanks to all for the contacts. 73.
K6III - Jerry (77)	A bit better than last month but not much.
K6JEB - Jack (130)	Finally got the hang of working towards the monthly brag. August conditions weren't spectacular but there was plenty of activity. Also, this month I finally wired my iambic paddle for cootie keying, though I haven't subjected any of you to my cootie fist yet. Several times I found I was able to work a needed number or state on a "dead" band such as 160m, 10m (!), and of course everyones' favorite "dead band" 15m. On 80m I worked West Virginia to finish my ARRL 80m Worked All States. This month I also finished SKCC WAS as well as WAS-C (Iowa was the last needed for the former, South Dakota was my last state needed for the latter). 72/73 and see you on the air! dit dit
KB1WOD - Dave (100)	My first BRAG nice to have so many!
KZ5OM - Jerry (54)	A lack luster month for SKCC Brag. Jerry
LB6BG - Mick (5)	I had a lot of family-activities this month. And when I finally was qrv, I found the condx lousy :-(
N4IVE - David (46)	New month and a new callsign! I was formerly KM4IXK - Same number of contacts as last month. Will try harder this month. I have access to more bands now!
N4OW - Al (60)	Oh My, conditions took a toll on my brag counts. September can only mean improvement. Welcome to all the new members. 73 de N4ow, AL
N5JPX - Jim (6)	With the band conditions the last few weeks, we should brag about any contact we made. Here's to better conditions in September! 73, Jim, N5JPX
N8BB - Werner (32)	Good month for me in the changing to a different type key. Most all members were worked with my new (to me) cootie key I made out of micro switches. Finally got it to work fairly well. Thanks to all and good to meet a few new members.
N9SE - Marty (46)	Managed to work a few again this month, even with the beautiful weather keeping me outdoors. I also managed to sneak in a little more antenna work. See you next month! 73 de Marty, N9SE
NC4RT - Randy (5)	Lousy conditions, my turn in the box for SKS, and other stuff conspired to keep my time down to a minimum. Hoping things will warm up in September. But I did log 40+ qsos in SKS, offsetting somewhat. 73!
NM1W - Jim (235)	Tks to all for the qsos
NP3CW - Julio (70)	more contacts on this month August 2015. GL
NX1K - Mark (29)	Another slow month,but still having fun.
VA5CW - Bill (27)	I'm not hunting for brag contacts these days, but am always willing to exchange numbers or have a ragchew.
W4JBB - Joel (5)	Band conditions were bad this month. Four QRP contacts, one at 90 W.
W4RQ - Rich (11)	Thanks for the QSO's with my QRP station.
W6JMP - Gene (6)	Out of town most of the month
W7GVE - Ed (20)	Slow month-- maybe with fall coming I will be on the air more--and condx will improve-- CUL 73/ED/W7GVE
W7MWF - Mike (114)	Great month for me. Got my Tx2 and almost Tx3. Worked lots of new States and closing in on WAS. Great fun even if condx were pretty dismal many days/nites. Thanks all for your QSOs and numbers.
WA2JSG - Curt (13)	Good to see participation from our newer members, as well from our long time members.
WB5HQO - Forrest (1)	After a 3 month vacation from cw I made a contract at the 11th hour 59th minute and 59th second for the month of August.
WL7WH - Bob (1)	very, very poor condx this month!!
WU1V - Rick (1)	Only one QSO this month. Not much air time spent this month at all, plus poor condx due to solar storm pretty much scotched the deal for quite some time.
September
AB5XM - Allan (3)	A rather sad number but had more contacts for WES and SKS. Hope to do better in October!
AE0EE - Bill (11)	Managed to get on 40m one evening mid-week. I also had a long (30 min?) QSO with K6EE, one of my Elmers from my time in 6-land. Both of us were on bugs running ~25 wpm, but I forgot until after we had finished and moved on with our lives that I should have exchanged SKCC numbers (and come that much closer to the rag chew award!). It was fun to get a little QRQ practice in outside of contests!
AF4K - Bry (219)	Another tricky month for propagation... good to see everyone on the air in spite of the perpetual QRN and QSB, he he!
AK4NY - Tom (167)	Well conditions are improving so QSO count is improving. It seems more members are on the air now that summer is ending. I've had over 50 first time contacts this month so both new members and members that haven't been on for awhile are now showing up. Had a fun month and looking forward to more fun on the radio. Hope to CU on the air. 73 de Tom
F5DE - Bernard (3)	Thanks to WB2SMK Mark, W3BZN Tom, and ZL2BLQ Stan, only three contacts this month, just enough to be on the file, hi ! See you soon everybody !
K0KEX - Rick (7)	Another fun time with SKCC contacts...thank you all 73 Rick
K3ZGA - Bob (43)	First Full Month keeping track of my tally. Very interesting watching the number climb and looking back over all the great QSOs I enjoyed this month. Thanks to all. Catch you again! 73, K3ZGA
K6III - Jerry (46)	Worked a few new ones this month. Why are the newer members not logging onto the SKCC Sked page? I am away from the rig for 1st two weeks in October.
K6JEB - Jack (139)	Conditions felt marginally better than in August. Nonetheless it was still quite a slog. Our dog Herbie is doing fine now, but he required a couple visits to the emergency vet and then almost a week at the UC Davis Veterinary Hospital (and they are fantastic); meaning even less time on the air than I had hoped-for. I did manage to make a few SKCC QSOs from UC Berkeley's club station W6BB, seen elsewhere on this page. 73 and hope to work you soon! dit dit
K7CHS - Rick (2)	I have been very active lately. 73 to everyone
K7DMB - Larry (13)	Very slow month....
KA3LOC - Ric (71)	Hope everyone had a good summer. Band conditions are starting to improve and my QRP signal is being heard. Best 73 & God Bless.
KA8HFN - Larry (23)	Thank You for all of the QSO's. GL es 73
KB1WOD - Dave (90)	Another good month. Should have been doing this all along!
KC0MYW - Nick (28)	Replaced my antenna this month and the signals started rolling in! Now I can actually make some progress and see if I can't get a C sometime soon!
KF5NRO - George (35)	Thanks SKCC
KZ5OM - Jerry (24)	Worked some new members, T's and S's - often lurking (as k6iii) and adding to various SKCC awards.
N4IVE - David (37)	Well I didn't get quite as many contacts this month as I did last month. I guess the annual gathering of wood is taking it's toll on my Ham Hobby :) But the contacts I did get were of exceptional quality. I always meet the nicest people from the SKCC group!
N4OW - Al (135)	Good fun, enjoyed meeting many newcomers to SKCC and several new cootie users. I think the cootie WES converted a few Ops ! 73 de N4ow "cooties forever" :-)))
N5JPX - Jim (15)	Has anybody heard any complaints about band conditions? 64 QSO's this month but only 15 outside of the WES and SKS. The bands have been challenging but it's always fun to work a SKCC member! CU next month. 73, Jim
N9SE - Marty (29)	Slow month! Not sure why. Guess I was busier than I thought. 73 till next month!
NC4RT - Randy (5)	Another slow month for me. Although I did make 67 during WES… If anyone would like a copy of my crude UDC for the WES using N1MM+ just drop me a line. Special thanks to Bert F6HKA for digging my QRP signal out of the mud on 17m. I had an end fed 60 wire hanging from the porch of our vacation house, tied to a 20' mast on the other end. Very gratifying. 73/72 to all.
W6BB - U of CA ARC	Hoping to get the W6BB Amateur Radio Club more active on SKCC and to 'level-up' to Centurion. All W6BB contacts are made from the University of California, Berkeley campus either from main campus (Alameda County) or from the Richmond Field Station (Contra Costa County). Look for us, we really appreciate it!
W7GVE - Ed (33)	Nice contacts--- at times there were no SKCC Members on--Sprints were good..condx seemed like they were getting better -- Hope to catch you in Oct..73 ED/ W7GVE
W7MWF - Mike (67)	A fun month in spite of some poor band condx and some family commitments kept me off the air a bunch. Pleased with quite a few qso's in spite of 1/2 my dipole lying on the roof for 10 days. Now back in the air and can't tell much difference hihi. Anyway thanks all for new numbers, old numbers, a couple of nice prefixes and for being here. Vy 73 to all and GL in your quests. de Mike in WA.
WA2JSG - Curt (15)	Really great to see the participation here in our monthly Brag.
October
AB5XM - Allan (10)	October gone already? As usual, not as many contacts as I would like. I did get to work WES so overall I made more than 10 contacts. Enjoyed all contacts and thanks to all! Allan
AB6YA - Warren (4)	Only 4 but all QRP 5 watts into Chameleon F-Loop portable. Gosh I just can't get my Morse past 8ish WPM! :\
AB7MP - Mark (12)	1st report - why not? 73
AC2C - Ron (13)	Very inactive month for me - hope to get on more soon.
AE0EE - Bill (13)	Managed to make a few QSOs this month, including several as AE0EE/6 during my Pacificon trip. My goal for the rest of the year is to remain at double-digit brag totals. With contest season here, I hope to be on a little more for SKCC things too.
AF4K - Bry (118)	Had to be gone for a week (gin!) Great to see everyone for a Brag QSO anyway!
AK4NY - Tom (97)	Another fun month of radio, it seems things are slowing down on my SKCC CQ's, so I've been chasing DX. I'm hoping with cooler/colder weather more folks will be on the air. Hope everyone had a safe Halloween. I hope to meet you on the air during November - 73 de Tom
K0KEX - Rick (3)	High light for Oct..picked up two new skcc ops, WBHFK & KB1WOD..also Bry AF4K...Now that outside work is coming to an end..hope to have more time on the radio. TU 73
K3ZGA - Bob (25)	Not as much free time this month outside of Sprints, but, enjoyed all the QSO's with those I managed! Thanks, All. 73,
K6JEB - Jack (103)	October is when contest season gets rolling as well as Pacificon (which was a blast!), so I've had less time to focus on SKCC as I had in the previous months, but I did manage to finish my Tx6 on my birthday. Conditions have been looking up of late. I've been dividing my time between the two bugs (1980's Original Bug and 1940's TAC Bug), quite interesting how different they both feel. Thanks to everyone for the brags, nothing else has been better or more fun in motivating me to practice sending and receiving hand-crafted CW!
K8JD - John (63)	Sorry , I have been neglecting my Brag Count the last few months but I am back !
KA8HFN - Larry (111)	Thank You for all of the GREAT Brag QSO's. GL es DX. 73,Larry
KB0ETU - Phil (10)	Finally found time for some contacts - quite a few actually. But only 10 for SKCC. Better luck this month. Still QRP with k-2 @ 5 watts to G5RV. 72, Phil
KB1WOD - Dave (122)	Personal best for me. Only my third Brag.
KC0MYW - Nick (55)	Hit it pretty hard this month and finished my C! Now to keep the momentum going. :)
N4IVE - David (27)	Wow another busy month and only 27 contacts this month. This only means that there were more nice days than bad which kept me outside and busy doing non-radio things :) See you fine folks for November!
N4OW - Al (42)	A double blast of noise from Grow Lights and Power Lines did me in this month. Hoping for a better November. Chasing brags sure helped in moving me up the PFX award roster. Happy Thanksgiving to all ! 73 de N4ow, AL
N5JPX - Jim (13)	I was going to work on getting a bigger number for October so I started and suddenly, it was Halloween and the month was over! Did something in the solar wind cause October to be shorter than usual? Oh well, I'll focus on November now. Thanks for the contacts and 73 to all. Jim
N9SE - Marty (15)	15 SKCC QSOs? Really? : )
NP3CW - Julio (21)	Only few days active this month.
NW1W - Jim (12)	Just didnt have a lot of time to get on the air....
VA5CW - Bill (56)	Have been checking the sked page fairly regular, and always willing to trade numbers. Met a few new members this month, and also had some real nice ragchews... which is my favorite CW activity.
W6BB - U of CA (2)	Not as much time to operate from the University of California campus club call with all that was going on in October. November will be much better (it is already) as far as on-the-air time. 73 and Go Bears!
W7GVE - Ed (38)	Nice month -- got 30 new numbers-- fun skcc events-- cul 73 ED/W7GVE
W7MWF - Mike (47)	I couldn't get on the radio as much in October as I had hoped, but a good month nonetheless. Thanks all for the Qs and best of luck in November.
WA2JSG - Curt (14)	Made one of my Brag contacts from my rented condo in the TN Smokies (thanks Hank K1PUG), and a few NAQCC contacts from there as well. All the rest from my QTH here in NJ. Thanks to all for keeping this part of the SKCC alive and well.
WA4FQN - Jerry (70)	My first time entering the monthly Brag. Most QSO's on 40m, a few on 15m.
November
AA1JD - Matt (137)	Many contacts this month due to co-running the NH Fall Freeze station and a push to reach Tx8. Both accomplished in November 2015.
AB6YA - Warren (3)	3 QRP to QRP contacts made with my FT-817ND and AlexLoop.
AC2C - Ron (39)	Better than most months.
AE0EE - Bill (49)	I managed to get on the air more than usual this month, due to a pair of trips to SD around November Sweepstakes. I also had an antenna up for 80 m, which is a bit different for me. Some of the QSOs were QRP, too, which was a nice change of pace from my usual 100 W. All the antennas (160-10 m contest bands plus 17 m) are now up for the winter in St. Peter, MN, and I hope to have time to go there and put some RF in them. Between Sweepstakes CW and CQWW CW, my code proficiency has gone up considerably, and I'm starting to get comfortable with my bug at speeds above the slowest it will go. Thanks for the QSOs, and I'll see you on the bands!
AF4K - Bry (152)	November was a tough month. I was unable to get on as much but still made a lot of contacts. Many friendly ops with DUPE QSOs he he. I have no problem at all with that. I'm always happy to chat with he SKCC gang. Glad some are still venturing onto 20m late at night for the narrower band openings. I just worked FL to VA on 20m at 0100 UTC. See you all on the air again soon!
AK4NY - Tom (71)	Not many folks responding to the old CQ so I've been out S&P DX Entities for DXCC award. It is easy to make contacts but unfortunately many do not QSL via LOTW. The good thing about chasing DX is that my code speed both sending and receiving has jumped up quite a bit.
F5DE - Bernard (16)	Many thanks to the 16th guys who heard my little signals from the other side of the pond ! 73 and see you soon everybody !
G0DJA - Dave (7)	Best month so far this year. :-)
K0KEX - Rick (12)	Air time picking up here..welcome to all the new members. Hope to work many during the December WES…
K3ZGA - Bob (34)	Had some great QSOs this month, along with operating the Sprints and Sweepstakes. Thanks to all for the SKCC connections. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. 73, Bob, K3ZGA
K6III - Jerry (79)	Merry Christmas to all. Looking forward to the K3Y activity in January. It is getting a bit more difficult to log numbers for the awards. Still missing about 8 Senators to have a sweep of them all. Some disappear off the SKCC sked page soon after they make the Senator level never to be heard from again! Oh well, I think I will stop chasing after them when I get 150 S's logged. 73 de Jerry
K6JEB - Jack (85)	The downward slide continued this month (hi hi). Oh well, again no surprise since most weekends I was involved in contests. Hoping to bring it up a bit with the time off work in December and a slightly new antenna configuration (160m Inverted-L with an LDG RT-600 remote tuner at the base).
KA3LOC - Ric (105)	This was a good month on the radio. Outside chores are done, so now must stay inside and play radio. hope everyone has a merry Christmas and Happy holidays. Best 73 & may the Love Of Christ (LOC) be with you. Ric
KA8HFN - Larry (134)	Thank You for all of the QSO's. GL es 73, Larry
KB0ETU - Phil (20)	Had 30 contacts but only 20 were SKCC. I tried to make one contact a day. Hope I can keep it up for December. All were QRP @ 5 watts with a G5RV up 35 feet. 'Course the sprints didn't count for any contacts other than sprints. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. 72/73, Phil
KC0MYW - Nick (63)	Made it from C to T this month. Got a couple new capacitors for the power supply, so once I get those in I'll be able to get on and start working on December brag and Tx2!
KK4UOE - Elton (113)	November was a good month for me. I just started CW in late September, and am ramping up quickly. I made 7 CW QSOs in September, 85 in October, and 141 this month, for a total of 233 so far, of which 209 had SKCC numbers. I have also contacted 48 of 50 states and about half the Canadian provinces. Not bad for a beginner who still has to work for a living... The November WES was my first, but with my /V32, it gave me a distinct edge, and I placed 40 overall and 32nd in my power category with 37 QSOs and 2037 points. It also pushed me up to Centurion status. About two weeks later, I reached Tribune status and am working toward my Tx2. Thanks to all who have helped me reach these levels. I am really enjoying this hobby!
KZ5OM - Jerry (64)	This is the club call I use. Glad to see so many new members joining our ranks; wish they would get on the SKCC Sked page so we could find them. I did get in a 30min Rag Chew with a member this month. Maybe I should start working on that award. Merry Christmas to all ops. I expect to be active in the K3Y January activity. Jerry (K6iii) in NorCal
N0CVW - Charlie (56)	First time on the brag. Great fun, isn't it?
N4IVE - David (34)	Wow... Rough month, down with a toothache nearly all month but I still managed 34 contacts. Good thing I don't need my teeth to send CW ;) Glad to be rid of those 4 teeth. Nothing but trouble teeth.. Who needs to eat anyway!
N4OW - Al (35)	My brags are dropping like the sun spots :) 73 de N4ow AL
N9SE - Marty (8)	Just when I thought I couldn't go any lower! When I have been on the air, I've just been busy chasing DX I guess. Here's to a comeback in December!
NC4RT - Randy (15)	Max 14375C WA4MXT GL Paul! Min 5087T K2HT Worked WL7F with 5 watts…
NM1W - Jim (9)	Not a lot of time to operate and my fist is suffering from lack of morse code...
NP3CW - Julio (5)	Not too active this last November 2015. Happy Holidays to all members of SKCC. Julio
VA5CW - Bill (47)	Enjoying a few more skcc ragchews this month, plus a few new numbers. I will likely never get real focused on brag qso's, but it's nice to keep track and see how many different members one contacts each month. On that note, I may try for 50 next month, since I was this close anyway.... ok, maybe I will get a little bit focused.
W2SFD - George (37)	Felt great to get back on the air with CW.
W7GVE - Ed (22)	Not a lot to report for this month -- but as 2015 wind down I am thinking that next month I will give a good report on ham radio with numbers and a brief review of this hobby-- CUL 73 /ED W7GVE
WA2JSG - Curt 14)	I absolutely MUST drag myself away from that PSK31 stuff so I have more time to build up my brag points (hi hi). Hope all involved had a very Happy Hanukkah Season, and a very Merry Christmas to all.
WL7WH - Bob (8)	Once again, another bad month of terrible condx here!! Maybe in December....
WU1V - Rick (4)	Just got on the air once this month, have other activities going on, but nice to make 4 contacts. Am taking a break from QRP these days due to poor band conditions.
