W4CUX Operated by: Bill

Wall to wall fun tonight. I worked all QRP tonight with my J38. Mostly on 40m, but bounced up to 20m toward the end. Thanks to Bob WL7WH in Alaska (and everyone else) for digging my 5 watt signal out. I'm really lovin my new PFR3. Great little rig. As always, looking forward to the next event.

W8VN Operated by: Dennis

Not much time to operate, but still had fun. Thanks all.


KU4GW Operated by: Cliff

I almost didn't work the Sprint again and have not worked one in quiet a while. I've been depressed a lot lately and just generally been feeling lousy since having to re-start chemotherapy again back in March.I'm about to begin my 9th month of chemo pills, but I found out tonight that the SKCC Straight Key Sprint was just what the doctor ordered! I had a great time and feel happy about everything after working the SKS! If I'd known it would have made me feel this good I'd have been putting more effort into getting on the air instead of sitting around the shack having my pity party! Besides,my multiple myeloma is almost in remission again! Band conditions were great on 40 meters tonight and it made my day when the first station I worked was W4CUX Bill on his new Hendricks PFR-3 QRP rig! Bill and I have been working a weekly sked since August 3rd, 2009 when he contacted me because I'm on the SKCC Elmer list on the website. Being on the Elmer list isn't just good for experienced CW operators to help others, turns out it has helped me tremendously just getting to have all the QSOs I've had with Bill since he contacted me for my help! If your not on the Elmer list and have the time, I highly recommend it! Oh yea,I almost forgot, I used W5ZR's SKCC Sprinter logging program tonight for the very first time and I love it! Thanks Bert for a great little program! Thanks to all the stations I worked tonight in the SKS and thanks also to SKCC for giving me just what the doctor ordered! Very 73 de Cliff KU4GW SKCC#652

WBØQQT Operated by: Steve

Bands were in pretty good shape. I started off on 40, went to 20 and ended up on 80. Looks like winter propagation is returning.


WIØS Operated by: Kieth

Wow, I got all wound up in an old B&W Western on Encore and totally missed this event!! Yikes. I will be interested to hear what I missed out on as the bands have been awesome of late. DX nearly anytime day or night now, 24 is great. Will make a note for next month. 73 Kieth


NX1P Operated by: Paula

10, 15 and 20 were rocking tonite. Kudo's to N1WPU/QRP with a 579 signal from ME to OR!


N3EIN Operated by: Matt

The bands were a bit different tonight. 15 meters was finished by 0000Z, and although 20 meters was strong, I didn't make much of a contribution there after working Craig in WA, Ed in AZ and Tom in AL and eventually wandered off to 40 meters. At one point on 40 meters I went outside to see if my antenna was still there and so it was onward to 80 meters...and I should have gone there earlier as the signals were strong and the noise was nonexistant. It was good to hear my C21 pal Dave in WV again. Thanks and see you all soon!

WX4RM Operated by: Ron

Had a good time tonite, lots of strong signals and good fists out there. Running 5 watts into 5BTV ground mounted vertical. Glad there were good OPs out there who could pull my signal out of the noise.


KD5JHE Operated by: Jerry

So many thanks for all the QSO's. I hated to ask for the repeats but the ears were slow tonight. That was a lot of fun and INTENSE. Was running the 1st hour and then S/P the next 45 minutes, then the last 15 minutes was running. Looks like several new calls on my list and thanks to my old friends who still had to repeat their call.

W3NP Operated by: Dave

Conditions started out fairly good on 20, but not too many different stations on. Made one QSO on 15 then went to 40 where my 5 watts didn't seem to do to well. Ended up on 80 and did better there. Rig was Ten Tec Omni 7 @ 5 watts and my key this evening was my newly acquired Vibroplex Original from 1915 - my oldest bug so far. I did make a few Q's with the Vibroplex Anniversary Edition just for comparison. An enjoyable 2 hours....73, Dave - W3NP

1915 Vibroplex Bug - First Event


K1NV Operated by: Jon

This sprint was a little more interesting. The 10M band was open during the early part and several sporadic-E QSO's were made as well as a couple of groundwave QSO's with CA and NV.

I couldn't operate 15M this month due to an antenna glitch, so moved down to 20M for the majority of the remaining sprint time. Except for KL7, VE7, and VE5, no DX stations were heard on any band.

I tried 40M, but the band was not in good shape for working east. I dropped down to 80M and found WB4SPB (WA) for one QSO. Other weak signals were heard in the noise but no other QSO's were made. I returned to 40M to finish the sprint.

There were too many large lapses between QSO's to develop a big score, but it was a fun sprint, anyway. CU for the DX Sprint next week.

KB1NHV Operated by: Art

I was thrilled to work KD5JHE on my first contact and 4 Tribunes. Was only able to work the sprint for a short time but enjoyed the activity.

20M was mostly nonexistent here, but 40M and 80M were alive with strong signals and low noise. Congratulations to W7GVE on an excellent QSO count. Thank you very much and see you next month. 90W, matchbox, 80M loop at 30 feet.

Happy to get to work a Sprint after way too long. Thanks for hearing and responding to my 5 watts


KC8LTL/Ø Operated by: Ken

What a difference a month makes. Last month most of the activity was on 20 with little on 40. Now the reverse. Thanks for digging out my portable qrp station, guys!


VE7KBN Operated by: Ken

Went QRP for this one- could only make QSO's on 20 for a number
of reasons. Thanks to those who got me and to those who gave
it a try. CU next time !


K1PUB Operated by: Chas

Got a late start. Ran few QSOs on 20M then moved to 40M then 80M where I got a nice run going. Thanks Bert for all three bands. see y'all next time.

VA3AMX Operated by: Eric

The bands up here where almost dead. I heard few stations and QSOs were full of QSB. It was enjoyable and manage to grab new SKCC numbers. :) 72 Eric


WB3KBW Operated by: Dan

This was only my second SKCC event -- what a nice bunch of folks. Thank you to all those who work to put on these “contests”.

The rig was 1.5w (40m) to a folded dipole at 30’ running N-S. Just a peanut whistle, but SKCC folks seem to have really good ears.

I only made 11 QSO’s but had a good time. The 40m band was long from my location near Allentown, PA. Of the 11 contacts, all were > 300 miles, 9 were > 600 miles, 2 were > 1100 miles. And 10 of the 11 were to the west. 73 to all, Dan.
