KBØETU Operated by: Phil, 4542 from AL

Another fun filled time. Unfortunately, I'm working 2000z to 0400z both days during this
sprint. Sorta puts a crimp in my activity trying to get sleep and work the sprint too.
Looking forward to next month's already. 73/72 to all.


K2OGT Operated by: Bob, 5266C from NY

lots of fun


ACØPR Operated by: Mike, 7033 from ND

This was my first Sprint ever and the end of my fisrt week using a straight key. I had a
blast and really enjoyed it although I only worked Sat. a few hours. Thanks, I'm already
looking forward to the next one!

Homebrew key used for sprint (AC0PR-Mike)


WB8ENE Operated by: Art, 3773T from OH

Rather busy this weekend, so didn't spend much time on the WES. All of my contacts were
made on 40 meters. See you next week in the 2-hour SKS. 73, Art


IK2SON Operated by: Tony, 5486C from Italy

Very nice I took the right time and I have made several
Thanks to all the next wes

AA9NK Operated by: Daniel, 7036 from IL

This was my first straight key QSO ever! It was also memorable because it was my first
QRP, first with new rig (Elecraft KX1), first with new (old) Junker key, and first SKCC
QSO. Looking forward to many more firsts with SKCC. Thanks!


K6HTN Operated by: Kate, 5405 from CA

The first part was a little rough because of the speed demons in the NA contest. But that stopped soon enough.

Now I have better performance on 40 m and 80 m with a twin-lead fed dipole. Also, the code is slowly getting easier.
If the signal is good, I no longer feel like I must have ALL the information from someone's previous QSO's BEFORE I
answer them. That makes things go quite a bit faster. I also managed to hold my own frequency for seven Q's in a row
this time. My brain still revolted, however, after a certain number of hours & refused to copy any more.

I wanted to have a contact on 80 m, so I sort of ambushed KI6BHB after the RN6 net Saturday night ...


VK4TJ Operated by: John, 4474T from VK

True confessions time: I was actually cherry-picking the check-ins on K3UK to try and
push myself over the top of DXQ200, which I accomplished, thanks. Whilst I did work all
comers, apologies to any on the sked page who may have felt a little left out. Don't be
shy - ask me for sked, even if you rate your chances as midway between slim and none :-)


K8LJG Operated by: John, 336T from MI

As usual lot's of fun. Nice sounding fist's with those old key's.

K8MEG Operated by: Rich, 4637T from MI

Busy weekend late start but had fun!!


N1LU Operated by: Don, 2252T from NH

Didn't have much time for the WES. Worked about half mobile. I just have a paddle in my
truck so I set the IC 706 keyer off and used one paddle as a straight key. The only
problem was that the thumb side that was the active paddle. So for those I worked while
mobile, please excuse my all thumbs fist!


KC6ZZT Operated by: Joe, 3647 from CA

Had a great time. Good propagation. From CA got MA, Australia, France, and a few places in
between. Also got my 100th QSO, so I will be submitting my info for my C.

Thanks to all!



W5ZR Operated by: Bert, 2931T from LA

Not much air time this weekend but bands sounded well populated with SKCCers.

WA2JSG Operated by: Curt, 3018T from NJ

Drag Races Saturday night in Englishtown, then church functions Sunday morning & afternoon
kinda took my time away from WES. Thanks to W9DLN, W7GVE, F6HKA, KL8DX for the 4 great
contacts I was able to make. I was hoping to catch Karen for #5, but it wasn't to be.
Better luck next time.



EA3NO Operated by: Lluis, 6653T from Spain

Thank you very much everyone for your calls .. good conditions at 15 and poor in 40
meters, I would have liked to finish the WAS but it was not possible, by a violent storm

N3JJT Operated by: Scott, 255T from OH

Well, I will tell you, just as much fun as always! Worked some folks that I have not
worked in awhile! Hello Bert(W5ZR) I would like to welcome, Russ, W8KI, member #6973!
Keep up the good work, Russ! It only gets better! I have not worked a sprint in some

KL7GLL Operated by: Gene, 1098T from VA

Bands in good shape and great activity with seldom a slow period. Lots of great QRP
signals and many new members I'd not worked before. Also great DX participation. All
around fabulous WES.


KC2EGL Operated by: Michael, 553T from PA

Europe. Always enjoy our sprints.

WA2OQJ Operated by: Jim, 5941T from NY

A lot of fun as usual...started off on a sour note, forgot all about the WES until I
happened upon Drew AF2Z on 80 CQing WES....DOH! Then didnt seem like I would make another
contact after Drew....Worked the entire sprint at 500mw's and managed to rack up 21 Q's and
at least 6 more partial contacts that ended with "sri cant pull you out"...for a late start
and no game plan I was happy with 21 good ones in the book....Tnx again to all my contacts
and everyone who tried!.....See ya in the next one!


KØLUW Operated by: Russ, 1702T from NE

A nice sprint, Saturday night was great but Sunday my local noise level was very high
limiting who I could hear..


K4BAI Operated by: John, 3280 from GA

Band conditoins on 40 and 20 seemed OK. Worked a number of DX stations, most of who were
members. 80M was weak and noisy. Thanks for all QSOs and see you all next month. 73,
John, K4BAI.


KD8JHJ Operated by: Mike, 4877C from OH

Good cw fun as usual. Thanks everyone for the contacts. KE7- I just could not copy your
signals even with the repeat late sunday moring on 14 MHz. I will try again next time
om. By the end of the sprint 20 meters sounded great. The two biggest signals at my QTH
were Bert W5ZR and Bert F6HKA Thanks guys for the QSOs. Antennas- 20 and 40 meter end
fed half wave wires at 28' and 38' 50 watts. 73

Original bug with homebrew bug tamer.


N3EIN Operated by: Matt, 6742 from PA

I suspect this will be a record WES for many SKCC ops. I was able to work 80m,40m,20m and
15m for the first time in one contest. A few high points were working Walt-LW3EX on 15m
and 20m, Bert-F6HKA on 20m and 40m, LLuis-EA3NO on 20m and finally making my first home
state(PA) contact(!) Thanks Jim - N3MVX. Thanks to everyone in between for making this a
really fascinating WES. 73 Matt - Ten Tec Century 21, G5RV Lite, SKCC Pro-Pump.


AD5VC Operated by: Dana, 1555T from LA

Struggled with an antenna with some corroded joints for most of Sunday, resulting in weak
signals. After I got it cleaned up, had good luck with 20, 40 and even 15. About 1/4 of
contacts were with new members.


W4CUX Operated by: Bill, 5497T from GA

I had some difficulty because of a new antenna configuration, but was able to make a
number of contacts. Mostly on 40m, but a few on 20 and 80. I got to play with all of my
CW toys. First sprint with Vibroplex bug and recently acquired J38. Looking forward to
next Sprint.

A great way to spend a rainy Sunday.


W7GVE Operated by: Ed, 729T from AZ

A nice turnout---- Had 2 power outages totaling over an hour--- Not a good way to take
a break-- Heard EA3NO but not able to QSO with him. Did manage to work 3 EU stns..
Even a few numbers of over 7000.
Now back to ragchewing for the brag--ED


NØUYN Operated by: Dennis, 5753C from MO

Good conditions on 20M and seemingly good participation overall. Ran into a couple of
SKCC'ers working the Classic Exchange contest (CQ CX) along with WES. Thanks to Brian
K7TKT and Mike KA2FIR for new states of ID and NJ. 73.


KAØCSW Operated by: Jim, 3741T from MN

W4CU Operated by: Tom, 2733T from FL

Did not get to start until Sunday Morning so decided to go QRP with my new K2. It seemed
to work pretty well with my MA5B 2 Element antenna. I had many more QSO's than expected
and had a great time. Thanks to all those who dug out my signal. vy 73 - Tom

KB2RAW Operated by: Bill, 6539T from NY

Tnx to all..73,Bill


WS9E Operated by: Joe, 3859 from WI

I operated for about an hour and a half. I used the Orion and my old Speed-X key. 40
Mtrs was the best with a couple of QSOs on 80 and a couple on 20 where there was a lot of
QSB.
I heard Lluis a few times on 20. He couldn't hear me. I did work Bert, F6HKA, who was
louder than most stateside stations at my QTH.
Thanks to all. I enjoy working the friendly SKCC ops. Great fun.


WDØECO Operated by: Mitch, 6893 from MO

I had a great time. And thanks to Bert, F6HKA, who I was able to work on three bands -
15, 20, and 40 meters.

For much of the contest I used my new NT9K SKCC Pro Pump key. I used the Bencher SK the
rest of the time.

W9DLN Operated by: Dan, 3635T from WI

Another great WES is in the books. The low bands were very good last night. Had 80 QSOs
before I hit the bed. Even got a few 160M contacts. Sunday morning gave the usual New
England mults. 20 started off slow but got cranking in the afternoon with lots of DX.
Many of them were SKCC. Worked F, OH, HB, I, ON, 2E, 9A and VK. Worked my first
Canadian with about four hours to go which was unuaual. Also missed WV for the first
time that I can remember. Finished off the day on 40 and finally 80. Thanks to all the
guys and gals for the fun.

Special thanks for K3UK and K2RFP. Couldn't do it without you guys.

Noticed one thing with the Sprint Logger database. There were quite a few errors for
some reason. I updated it about 15 minutes before WES and then a few hours into the
event. Guys were T and it said they were C. I even found one that said AA1SM was MA but
he was really ME. Not sure what was up with that. Still overall a great WES.

73 and see you all next month I hope!


KB1OIQ Operated by: Andy, 6265 from MA

I set up the QRP tuna can family (xmtr, rcvr, and 3W amp) in my back yard under a canopy
and threw a wire into a tree with the counterpoise laying on the ground. The entire setup
was battery powered. I was pleased to make 6 SKCC contacts and 3 non-SKCC contacts. This
is more than I've ever done before. My goals: have fun, improve my CW skills, and don't
come in last in the WES. :-)


WØSZV Operated by: Eldon, 4999T from MO

one qso but on warc band so don't count. tried 3 times for Lluis but he couldn't hear me.
Too many other things going on this time. be back next month


WAØBGV Operated by: Slim, 5465T from MO

I had a fine time this WES. Generally good wx, not too much qrn this time. I am already
looking toward the next SKCC event. A little activity on 15 meters was welcome,
especially F6HKA, LW3EX, IK2RMZ, and the sp-op EA3NO. Tnx Bert, Walt, Martin, and Lluis.
Also worked several of my MO SKCC friends, N0UMP, W0MSM, K0KEX, WD0ECO, N3PDT, and W0YZZ.
Thanks to all for all the fun. de Slim

N2AUR Operated by: George, 5841T from NJ

Got to spend time in the beginning and at the end, but not in between, but still had fun -
as always.

Gee, You think I might be a CW guy?


W6UT Operated by: Dennis, 2417T from CA

First WES that I have been able to work except for few hours on Saturday evening since
May. Enjoyed my time last night and today.


N6CMF Operated by: Phil, 2740T from CA

Lots of fun---so little time!


NV9X Operated by: Jim, 1358T from IL

Did not play as many hours as had planned. Excellent participation. Lots of new contacts
along with new Cs and Ts for me. DX SSB was heavy on 40 towards the end. Thanks to my
contacts for putting up with me. Thank you SKCC and K3UK. This is the best CW group out
there.


WØMSM Operated by: Mark, 6585T from MO

another great sprint,here in MO. the bands were fairly quiet and propagation good..K2RFP
made the cat and bird dance(thanks Dick)..worked a lot of numbers both low and high,good
to see so many of us out there having some cw fun..tnx to Bert F6HKA with qso`s on 15 and
20..Logged Timo OH5FNI and ErkkiOH7QR on 20 tnx guys!! Feel like I worked a lot more of
my responses this sprint but still had a couple of (nils).sorry guys ...in the last few
minutes I cudn`t quite pull out the station who would be my record breaker (I think WD5---
)..but to reach my high qso total was great!!!thanks to everyone who works to make the
sprints happen and to all who join in and make it fun 73 Mark W0MSM


KE7ZVJ Operated by: Joe, 5267 from MT

My first "real" WES and i loved it! I need a better antenna array, but ill work on that! I
was amazed I got F6HKA on the first try. that is my first DX contact. (Montana to Canada
does not count for me!) If i remember ill be doing more WES/SKS events! Thanks to all! 73

WA1AR Operated by: Alan, 4079T from MA

I only had a little time Sunday morning, too many visitors and a little football got in
the way. I was able to get EA3NO on 15M. I also got to use a new bug I got from Dave
W1DV. Since it's not a Vibroplex I had to search the internet to find out what it is. I
am now quite sure its a Les Logan "reverse frame" in black crinkel from around 1932.
Very plain but also very functional. It is very slow with just one weight, around 18 WPM
fully out. CUL


WØYZZ Operated by: Dave, 5519T from MO

The contest was great lots of FB guys and Gals on the band. Conditions were much better
then Last Month. See you in October. Dave W0YZZ


WA5VQM Operated by: Mark, 58T from TX

Had to go QRT early Saturday due to thunderstorms in the area. Didn't have much time Sunday but a quick listen turned
up nada. Maybe next month.


W4KRN Operated by: Karen, 4495T from VA

Great to hear the DX stations and Phil KL8DX. Highlight was working Gordon N6WK, wonderful
to hear him pounding brass again. Used my RJ-1 Bencher key. 20m was good, but noticed more
QSB than last sprint. Glad I have the A4S yagi. Thanks to all for the contacts. Cu in the
next SKS.


W3NP/2 Operated by: Dave, 3182T from NY

Since I was going to be visiting my sister in the Buffalo,NY area this weekend and didn't
want to miss the WES, I decided to take a rig along. Used my Argosy II at 5 watts into an
end fed 28' piece of 22 ga wire that I stuck out the bedroom window and attached the other
end to a tree at about 15' in the air and used the TT 291 coupler. Took along the battery
from my snowblower since I thought I would have to do this outside. The battery held up
fine which was good since I didn't bring a PS. Used a Nye Master key. I didn't expect much
compared to the antennas at home, but I was surprised with the results. I didn't have a
lot of time to operate since I was on a family visit and the xyl made sure that I didn't
spend all evening on the radio. I was happy to work Vince S52CC on 40 meters as well as
Bert F6HKA on 20 and 40. Even worked Vern W9HLY up on 80 - the only station I heard there.
It was a lot of fun using the hacked together setup and I really enjoyed the time I had to
be on. Had to take the station down around 1730 and head back to WV. The photos was taken
0300 on the 13th, just after the 7 hour drive home. Thanks to those who pulled my weak
signal out of the noise.

TT Argosy II, 291 Antenna Coupler, Nye Master Key, End fed wire antenna on top of coupler


S52CC Operated by: Vince, 5011 from Slovenia

A thrilling WES for me which brought me to one member short of 100. Thanks to all.


OH7QR Operated by: Erkki, 6379 from Finland

Many thanks for the QSOs to all. I couldn't hear the Special station. 20 meters was best
band here. I was lucky to catch five new numbers towards the Centurion. Looking forward
to the next WES. Cu, 73 de Erkki OH7QR #6379


KKØI Operated by: Jack, 2370T from WI

Only on for a short while Sunday morning...almost all on 40 meters. Another great event.
Thanks for all the contacts folks. Used the K4VIZ right angle VIZBUG. See you all again
next month. 73, jack


KC2STA Operated by: Dan, 4290 from NY

First try at the Sprint! Hope to do better next time!


GØRDO Operated by: John, 2133T from England

Good fun. Heard quite a few stations, but not many did I manage to work. Thanks to OH7QR,
N2JNZ, OH5FNI, S52CC and UR7GR (non skcc). The little spy key was great fun to use.

WW2 key from B2 Suitcase Spy Set. Base is just 2" by 1 & 1/8".


K8IJ Operated by: Chas, 4781T from KY

Many thanks to all - great fun! Vy 73, Chas


W1EJ Operated by: Ed, 1594T from MI

Still at my temporary (2months) Michigan QTH. Set the QRP rig up Sunday afternoon and the
bands sounded very dead, I thought I had an antenna problem. After an early dinner the
bands were sounding better. All 40 meters except around 2330 I tuned across 20M and there
was Bert, W5ZR with his usual big signal, thanks Bert. I had two guys question my QTH, I
guess because it didn't match the SKCC data base in their Sprint Logger! In any case the
Sprints are still much fun.


KQ1P Operated by: John, 5068 from ME

Fell asleep at the key Saturday night! No time in the shack on Sunday. Did manage one
contact anyhow....73 until next sprint.


VE5BCS Operated by: Harold, 3946C from SK

I added a few on 40 meters for a second band. I hope to do three band next month. Cul


AB1BW Operated by: George, 2468T from CT

Another great sprint with pretty good conditions and a lot of participation. Thanks
Lluis, EA3NO, for the contacts on 15 and 20 meters. You did a great job operating the
club station. See you next month. 73, George


NT9K Operated by: Bill, 1926T from FL

Nice to be able to have some fun again. I still wanted more than I was able to do. Lots of
new members to work this time. I missed lots of old friends this time. Saturday night was
a bit rough with the other contest going on. Biggest signal was Bert W5ZR at 40 over S9.
Wish I could have put more hours in, but I still had a good time.
Until next time, 73. Bill NT9K..



GØAZR Operated by: Jeremy, 6319 from England

Unfortunately I did not have too long to operate in this months WES.
Managed two OH members, and three non members.
Heard both W2DEC (a Tribune so I believe.....got a bit frustrated that I couldn't QSO)
and K4JPN calling CQ WES, but 5 watts and an inverted dipole didn't quite make it across
the sea on 20mtrs.

Not to worry....good fun all the same.

Equipment used, FT817,5watts, Inverted V at 25 feet and Junker key.

73/72 Jeremy, G0AZR, #6319

QRP station used for WES


W1HFF Operated by: Joe, 6309 from MA

Always great fun. I enjoy the easy-going relaxed atmosphere of the WES instead of the mad
chaos of other CW contests. Thanks SKCC.


WA8BIJ Operated by: Vince, 4732C from MI

Had a ball for my first WES. Lots of cooperation and good ops in the contest. Looking
forward to the next one. Hope to have more time to put into it.


F5DE Operated by: Bernard, 6247T from France

A friends picknic at home made me able to only have the last three hours to enjoy the WES.
26 stations worked,5 new SKCC members for my collection.
Thanks to all of you that I was happy to contact.
My apology to a few stations (I think 3) who called me, but never understand the call-
signs as the level was not enough to overtake the RX noise.
I am already looking forward to be present to the next WES, I really hope so !
Now, I will be happy to continue a night search of SKCC regular QSO about 20 to 22:00 UTC
very often along the week.
73 to all and good luck to all !
Bernard.



F6HKA Operated by: Bert, 6069T from France

Thank so much everybody for this nice WES. The best for me since I am member.
Conditions were pretty good on bands used here 40, 20 and 15m.
I hope the next WES will be as good as.
Best 73 Bert

My Keys Waitinf for NT9K Pro-pump


VA2NB Operated by: Michael, 120 from QC

Sunday morning was rainy so I got to spend a few hours indoors playing in the WES from my cottage in QC.
Conditions were pretty good. I was surprised to see 20m open after sunset on Saturday night and QRN on 40m
was very low on Sunday morning with decent propagation. I used my 1970 Vibroplex Lightning Bug Deluxe, Yaesu FT-
897D @ ~ 50W and a double-sized G5RV (204 ft doublet) at about 50 ft. See you next month .. Michael VA2NB


K7TKT Operated by: Brian, 6695 from ID

First WES I was able to spend much time on. Had a blast! Got to try out the new 40m
attic loop and window line feed. This is my only antenna at the moment. I'm pretty
happy with how it worked. Thanks all. 73, Brian (K7TKT SKCC 6695)


My September WES station


KU8L Operated by: Curt, 5380T from MI

WHERE WERE ALL THE CENTURIANS??

Had a fun WES..Haven't done one for a while..its a great, relaxing event--no pressure as
most contests go. Worked maybe half the available hours but worked a really nice cross
section of states and numbers. Made significant progress toward next Tx.

Rig was a old FT707 that I got for $35 and just finished repairing on Saturday. It worked
pretty well for the entire event. The New Carolina Windom 40 hombrew clone continues to
surprise me even going into its third winter.

Also used the 1948 Vibroplex Standard for many of the contacts and virtually ALL of the
CQ's :) You can still tell when I switch tho..still getting re-acquainted with the bug.

See you all for the next SKS.

Curt


AC2C Operated by: Ron, 2748T from MD

I had limited time for the sprint but did manage 61 contacts and also got the final two I
needed for Tx8. I worked both LLuis, EA3NO, and Hans, WA1LWS, on three bands.




K9PMV Operated by: Jerry, 1438 from IL

Fun as always. Looking forward to the next one.


KA5VZG Operated by: Alan, 6264T from TN

As always, lots of fun. Picked up a new country with Finland/Timo/#6378.


KL8DX Operated by: Phil, 3800T from AK

I only had a few hours and my effort was search & pounce or requests on the Sked Page.
Conditions into Europe was pretty darn good considering our band conditions lately on 20
meters. Managed OH5FNI, F6HKA, and EA3NO. Lower 48 stations worked were W9DLN, W7GVE,
W6MQI, K5YQF, W4FOA, WA2JSG, W4KRN, W2DEC, KL7GLL, VE3CWU, W1OOO and my propagation check
contact with W1PNS. It has been a busy summer and I have plenty of antenna work to do
before the snow arrives, which with a low temperature of 35 last night, that won't be
long. Looking forward to the winter so I can once again participate in the WES contest.


KØKEX Operated by: Rick, 5220T from MO

Time for this WES was taken with a Bass tournament on my home lake "Smithville"
After heading to the ramp at 5:45 AM and fishing to 4 PM...the old man was pooped.
We did manage a few great contacts, caught EA3NO on 15M & later on 20M, Thank you
Lluis for doing the Special SKCC station. Also caught LW3EX on 15M & F6HKA on 20M.
I like the picture Slim WA0BGV has added to his post. SKCC has connected me with
many friends....what a great bunch....73


My other passion.."Bass fishing"


K2RFP/SWL Operated by: Whitehat, 2099T from NY

I heard a few un-answered CQs and I was tempted to break my silence and jump in
but I held to my plan to spend a little block of time just listening in.
It was interesting hearing only one side of the QSO on 20m at times. It was fun.

My listening post. Output power: 0.


LW3EX Operated by: Walt, 3804T from Argentina

Thank you all for another fun WES!

Worked 20, 15 (mostly) and 10m where I made only one Q with F6HKA, FB Bert
I was testing a new homemade Cootie, well it survive after 12hs of swipering
WN5KNY Bill,many tnx for the keying report ))

Until next 73, Walt LW3EX - ..-

WB4OFT Operated by: John, 958 from NC

This was my second weekend sprint. Lots of fun and was able to improve my score over the
previous WES. Best DX, and new country, was Vince, S52CC on 40m. How do you spell fun?
W-E-S!


W8JRA Operated by: Jeff, 4757T from OH

My first time working an SKCC event QRP. Used my old HW-8 that had been gathering dust
for over 20 years. Got 11 QSOs in 7 states during during two hours WES participation.
Thanks to everyone who dug my signal out and hung in there for the exchange. 72/73 de W8JRA


KD2JC Operated by: Joe, 710 from NJ

First time participant in the WES. Never knew how much fun it was. Will certainly be
back. Thanks for all that worked me. Now that I'm on track would be a good time to go for
some awards. 73 de KD2JC/Joe #710



W9HLY Operated by: Vern, 6672 from IN

laborious ! ! !


KB1NHV Operated by: Art, 2775 from VT

Really enjoyed the Sprint. Hope to be able to spend more time on the next one. Only was
able to make 14 contacts but was thrilled to get 10 states and 2 countries.


NE5DL Operated by: Dave, 5081T from TX

Worked 4 hours this month. Lot of fun. Worked EA3NO with 5 watts


K4UPG Operated by: Kelly, 5415 from FL

Great way to celebrate my birthday... thanks for scheduling it for me! I setup lakeside
with some great tall trees to hang antennas. 40m dipole up 40ft, 44ft doublet at 20ft and
an EFHW on 20m nearly vertical offered me some directional choice. I am a CPG...contest
point giver and a VERY casual contester but enjoy the chatter and have fun reading the
mail and trying for the DX. As a QRP op running only 2.4 watts output it takes some
patience to compete but it sure is worth it.

Bands were pretty good and I heard a good number of Eu stations. F6HKA had a signal that
overloaded my receiver at times and I turned the RF gain down to 50nd he was still over
the top but I could not get a response. Highlight of the day was my "birthday present" QSO
with Lluis, EA3NO. Rain was approaching and that was my last contact of the day, but made
it a very special one for me. WES is my favorite contest!

My first sprint, my first month in CW... this was fun!!!
Appreciate all that endured my QRS.
God Bless es vy 73,
Russs, W8KI


N8BB Operated by: Werner, 5433T from MI

Thanks again to the fine ears out there digging my qrp signal out of the noise.
Still too nice of weather to stay in on the radio all day so I dabbled around the house
and picked up a few here and there.


AE4LD Operated by: Larry, 3090T from NC

Great weekend, and bands were pretty good on this end, just not much time to get on the
air waves this go around, looking forward to next month. 73 Larry


NØJL Operated by: Jim, 2079T from IA

Didn't have much time, but had a ball. Used NT9K P-P, 1956 Blue Racer, and 1963 Champion.
I even spent time encouraging a non-member to join! I'm sure a good time had by all.


AG6V Operated by: Donna, 6933 from CA

Had just a few moments to join in with my first WES but no way I'd miss the fun! Got a new
state and new SKCC #


K5YQF Operated by: Cecil, 1820C from TX

Another great time here in central TX. Thanks to ND0CW, Dave, in ND and K7TKT, Brian, in
ID for two hard to get states towards my WAS - only 7 to go! Also, thanks to Bob, KK5J,
for a tough 20M contact into OK. Finally, my appologies to K6CSL for copying his name
wrong. Looking forward to the next one.


K8JD Operated by: John, 1395T from MI

Only managed to get on for about 1.5 hours this time. 40M ran hot and then cold.
Nothibng on 80 since it was mid day. made a few contacts opn 20 but next month I will
have a different antenna to try on 20M. Just put up a fan dipole for 20 & 30M today.


N8CPA Operated by: Steve, 8 from OH

Between obligations and propagation, I made a total of 3--count 'em!--QSO's. Can't wait
to get my 735 back. It's a far more comfortable CW rig than a TS-50.


K4UFT Operated by: Ted, 4289T from SC

Missed last WES and SKS so good to be back on. Started midnight Saturday on 80M after
the ARRL NA 'test cleared out. Had new 80M Hustler mobile coil that worked great ... 12
QSOs in 2 hours. Rest of the contacts were 14 Qs on 40M and 1 on 20M. Heard Bert F6FKA
on 15M but no contact (did work him on 15M on Saturday morning).

Had a hard time remembering to use new T suffix instead of C on my number.

Usual setup ... FT-950 @50W to homebrew vertical. Navy Flameproof key.

As always ... great fun and looking forward to the next WES.


N4QLB Operated by: Michael, 6650T from AL

Between a storm that took out my main antenna and all of the football on Saturday and Sunday
I managed to make a few contacts. Not my usual top 10 effort but had a lot of fun anyway.

J36 with varispeed and Ameco K4


K1PUB Operated by: Chas, 4101T from MA

Only a couple of hours to operate this time, but it was fun. Bands seemed very decent,
worked more DX than usual.


W3RT Operated by: Red, 3237T from PA

Good signals, lots of fun in the short time I operated. Good to work Lluis on 20m, as
well as other DX stations. Used the sloper for 40m, and the beam for 20m. Most contacts
were made with the Annie, and some with the Flameproof.
Activity is picking up, and so is the membership. Thanks to all for a Great Club for CW.

73, Red in PA, SKCC # 3237T.


K8NB Operated by: Noel, 3112T from MI

Well, another WES and I had too many other things to do. I did get a bit of time on
Sunday morning to operate. This month's lineup was my Ten Tec Century 21, a 1956
Vibroplex original, and a Signal Electric 112K straight key of undetermined age. There
seemed to be lots of activity. Hopefully in the upcoming months I will have more time.
I always enjoy the WES.


WB8WTU Operated by: Dennis, 217 from OH

Night owl as usual. It was great fun as always and the fists keep getting better and better.


KB4QQJ Operated by: Randy, 3508T from NC

Another fun WES. Got to work EA3NO on two bands!! Thanks Lluis !! Lots of big signals this
time and new members too. John, K4BAI was strongest at a whopping 60 over. That’s as far
as the little meter will go. I heard Gordon with a nice pile up going but didn’t work him.
Great to hear #3 back on the air and running the pile up. Lots of DX this time too. Bands
were great into Europe. Got France, England, Slovenia, Argentina, Canada and Spain! Thanks
guys. Managed Bert, F6HKA on three bands. I know those filaments were getting toasty Bert!
And verry very last (literally) contact was Andy, K3UK with a last minute/second/part of a
second contact!! :-) Most surprising contact was Dan, W9DLN on 160 meters. Who’ada thunk it.
Icom 703+ at 3-5 watts into a 4 band no tuner doublet at 33 feet.

G4LMW Operated by: Rob, 4454T from England

Nice to join in again. A great flurry f activity in the last hours........


W4TMW Operated by: Tom, 6148C from GA

Well the big push was on for me......I spent a little more time on this WES (abt 5 hrs
total) trying to finish up my "T" and as usual it was fun. The bummer was missing Gordon
N6WK and the highlight was wrking VK4TJ and ZL2BLQ almost back-to-back.

I'll be looking for you all in the next sks.

73

This is my favorite homebrew straight key...and I use it almost all the time.

K7SDW Operated by: Greg, 6224T from CA

I had a family obligation and only could squeeze in one contact.

Lots of activity this time around; sounded great! Pretty good spread of stations on
20/40/80. Got Bert F6HKA on 40 for my final contact Sat evening then hours later on 15m
for first contact Sunday morning, haha... It was nice to be present for the final hour of
the contest; I usually miss it. I was a little distracted this time, fooling with the
video camera; captured many QSOs. If anyone wants to hear/see how they sounded at my QTH,
let me know. My rig: Elecraft K3 running 10 watts; 100 ft wire up 30 ft; Junker straight key.



KE6OIO Operated by: Ann, 1204T from CA
