40 meters was just ok here in Florida. Heard a few on 80, but only one person could hear me. Decent turnout for Christmas night. I had fun. 73, Bill NT9K..

Good amount of activity on 80m. Conditions were good. I did not get to any of the other bands. Had a good time.

Only heard 3 sigs, could only work 1. Thanks to Dennis, W6UT, I wasn't skunked. Quit at 02:00 for dinner. By 05:00 80M was much better, and I had a couple of nice ragchews. Pray for better conditions next month. Thanks to all who were out there trying on Christmas day. CU on SKN. Al, W6SQQ

Christmas Day and I only had a 15 minute window to operate and conditons were so-so but a few brave souls were on for me to contact. Thanks.

Wheeew, weak signal conditions at start. Forty meters began to improve around 0200, but then it was time to go to 80m. I logged only one Centurion, but logged 13 Trubunes. Didn't hear K9SKC... shucks.

Got lucky and worked Tom K4ZGB SKCC 796T in Al. I don't have an 80m antenna yet so though I could hear a couple more stations on 80 (including K4ZGB) I couldn't get them to hear me. It was fun though, and great to hear that there is enough interest in SKS that even on X-mas day a few of us got into the sprint.
Can't wait till the next one!

Managed 3 QSO's on 160. Only worked the last half hour. Checked the first hour, on and off, and didn't hear anyone in northern KY. Since I recently returned to 160, it was fun as usual. 73, Nick, WB4BB.

QSB on 40 m. was unbearable here in WNY, but 80 m. had stronger signals, I just couldn't work many with QRP tonite. Happy New Year to all SKCC'ers.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Due to Christmas I only had a hour to spare for tonights sprint. I can not wait to be able to give a full 2 hours for the sprint. I will be operating K2A/3 during next months sprint. Thanks to the 5 who worked me. It was a fruitful hour. I am now up to 30 QSO's for my Tribune and added a few more to the unique call list. I should hit the 200 QSO mark by the end of K2A. 73 Michael KC2EGL SKCC 553C

Very poor conditions tonight. Worked NT9K on 40 at start of Sprint. It just went down hill from there. 7 Qs on 40 and 6 Qs on 80. Even K0LUW on 80 was ruff copy. Normally, he puts a good signal in here. I did Q with K4BAI on 80M (one short opening). Worked W7QQQ and non-member W7OM on both bands.

I put up a new 80M antenna the day of the sprint all but 2 160M QSOs were on 80M using that new antenna. As always lots of fun.

Condx were noisy on 80 meters but managed to find 35 members and one non-member. Made all my qsos on 80m this time. I started a little late at 01:19Z but then kept busy till 01:59Z

I operated 40 meters only, and conditions were much better than those of last month. In true contest form, for me; I rag-chewed too much. However, we now have a new member, Bob-K5ZOL, who signed up on the internet during our hour-plus QSO. Look for Bob as he is looking for some good CW practice. WELCOME BOB !

Missed the first 45 minutes due to a Christmas night visit with daughter, son-in-law, and 10-month old grandson. Band conditions on 40 and 80 seemed very good. Nice surprise to be called by Stan, K4UK/VP9, SKCC #1941 on vacation in Bermuda. Nice to work W6UT in Stockton, CA on 40. W7QQQ from AZ was unbelievably loud here. Skip was good for local stations too as I worked AL and hear W4UCZ in Atlanta, just 100 miles away. We had had long skip earlier on 80M, about 0000 UTC. Hope to see you all next time. Glad to QSL via the SKCC QSL Bureau. 73, John, K4BAI, #3280.

A good turnout I'd say given it's Christmas evening. All Qs were made on 80m which seemed in fairly good shape with some slow QSB. States worked were NE, MD, PA, LA, MI, MS, NH, MO, MA, DE, AR, CO, GA, OK and IA. Loudest signal at this location was W5ZR (Bert 2931 in LA). Many thanks for the contacts. 73, Gary in WV -K8KFJ- #2444

Limited time to operate- only 1 hour due to the Christmas Holiday. Had fun, and picked up a few more SKCC members for the "C" award. Thanks to all that completed QSO's with me. Looking forward to 1 Jan 08 SKN & the K2A operation.

Conditions were not the best on 80m, so I stayed on 40m, but even there signals were not strong. On the plus side, I had a very long chat with a fellow who is working to build his speed up from 5 wpm, and so I may have recruited a new SKCC member.

Well, it wasn't exactly a "Merry Xmas" on 80 meters tonight for me! Got in there and mixed it up hard, but 1 watt combined with odd conditions just wasn't going to make it a stellar night. Thanks to those who worked me, I appreciate your good ears.I was hearing a lot of stations, just not getting through. Had fun anyway! Hope others did too.
BTW, I *like* the sprint on Xmas day; it puts a nice cap on it.

I was only able to work the last 35 minutes, but from the sounds of it, another hour and a half wouldn't have helped much. I added one new SKCC call to the log tonight.

My first SKS. Sure is a change from the dx and sweepstakes contests. I used the bug. Us navy guys called them speedkeys. conditions were not good here in the Ozarks but it was fun.

Lots of QRN at my QTH this time. Could not hear many weak stations. Maybe better next time.

Tough night, 80m only - nothing on 40 or 160m. Had to dig a lot of folks out of the mud -- sorry if I missed you.

Certainly not the best condx. I thought I would wrap up my Tribune tonight, but it was not to be. Needed 4 going in and still need 4.
