Soapbox Comments

From AA8CL, Carmen "Bud"

Missed last month so made sure I was home and ready to run my wopping 1w. All contacts on 40m. No luck on 20 or 80. Started strong, then finished strong. The middle was pretty weak but still had fun. Have a great rest of July everyone.

---

From AA9WP, Don

Hi; Managed to get on for the last hour. A little bit of thunder crashes but 40 meters was good. Glad to be back working with the SKCC gang. 73 Don

From AC9XS, Steve

40 really opened up to the western U.S. tonight. Great to hear some stations I've thus far only caught on 20 out here, despite the QRM.

---

From AF8A, Gary

Just a short time to operate this evening, after spending most of the day packing for a move to a new QTH. I'll be moving from grid EN91gm to EN91gn (yes, all of 4 miles). See you from the next QTH!

---

From AK3X, Peter

Got on for the last 30 minutes. I planned to operate QRPp but was not getting any traction so upped the output to 5 watts. 40 meters only. Thanks for the fun.

---

From AK6A, Bill

Fairly nice band conditions. I received a call from V21C in the middle of the contest so stopped for a while to have a nice QSO. This was a fun contest. Thanks to everyone who gave me a call.

From F6EJN, Bob

Difficult to get up at 2 a.m. here. Only 1 hour of traffic. Only over 40m with a lot of noise. thank you all and 73 Bob.

From KC5PRK, Wayne

I was called away right after the sprint started, but I enjoyed the short amount of time I had. Thank you to W3NP, W6WU and K2IZ for the contacts. 73 de Wayne KC5PRK.

From KD2KEH, Ken Knox

What good fun - again! Tnx & 73

---

From KE3O, Bill

Only worked a short time on 15 meters but managed to work CO, PR, CAN and NED. Also heard KG5OWB and called a number of times but rcvd no reply. All things considered, it was another fun activity. 73

From KI4MZC, Don

KX3 to a dipole, 5w. After a late, late start, I finally got OTA. Tonight was one of the few times I snagged a Georgia station at 599! - K8LBQ, Bain, in Columbus (an fellow fox-hunter). So, overall, not a bad night. A lot on strong sigs on 40m tonight, with some qrm thrown in. 73 all.

From KP3W, Jose

easy run on 20m , TNX to all for QSO, GL 73

---

From KR8L, William

This was a good opportunity to get some practice with my new sideswiper even though I didn't make very many contacts.

---

From KR9U, Jim

"KR" Multi: KR9U with N8KR!

From N2EI, Skip

Bands were really bad tonight but still pulled a few out of the weeds. Fun as always. Using my Kent KT-1 Straight Key

---

From N4LSJ, Thomas

super casual

---

From NA4O, Mark

Great signals here tonight despite finding my antenna support line cut by house painters. I heard KG5OWB calling on 40M, but I could not get through. KX3, Vibroplex straight key, 5W with wire out back window.

---

From NA5N, PAUL

Ran 50W from the Ten Tec Scout this time, not QRP. About the same number of QSOs as QRP. Always wondered. Both 20M and 40M were fruitful with plenty of strong sigs. Hope all had fun. I did.

---

From NZ0T, Bill

Tried 20 for a few minutes and switched to 40 after only 1 contact. Stayed on 40 in not so good conditions but managed to do OK. Used my K3 at 100 watts, an OCF dipole at 30' and a Bencher RJ-2 key.

---

From PG4I, Jo

My second SKS. Got up at 5 minutes before 2 AM. 20 meters was still open when I started and worked some new SKCC members. Then after 45 minutes the band suddenly shut down and I moved to 40. This was more difficult, it is hard to get noticed between the loud US signals. Best QSO on 20 with Mike, K5UV from OK and on 40 with Bill, W9SA from IN. Most QSO were done with a Czech Army straight key which I got off Ebay

---

From VE2KZW, Robert

Very quiet on 20m so I moved to 40m. Things worked well. Thanks Jay for my first ND QSO. 73, Robert.

From VE3KIU, Dave

Time well spent... good fun

---

From VE4DL, David

Forgot it was on! First time in ages I've been in SKS

From VE7HI, Ken

Bencher straight key, 20m only. Lots of QSB! Thanks for the sprints

From VE9DCD, Denis

From W1BLU, Blue

QRT for storm activity.

---

From W1DV, Dave

Only had an hour and a half before shut down by lightning. 80 meters was a waste of time but 40M surprisingly solid. Good fun. Notice my assistant operator - keeping warm on top of the omni-7

---

From W1VKE, Vin

Operated QRP 5 watts with my Elecraft KX2 and a MyAntenna 80-10 EFHW. I also used my new to me Lionel J-38 which is amazing. Thanks to all the big signals for picking up my QRP from Cape Cod, MA. Looking forward to the next event.

---

From W3NP, Dave

13 QSO's on 20, 2 on 80, and the rest on 40. Conditions not the best but lots of activity and no shortage of stns to work. 20 yielded short skip to MD as well as west coast and PG4I. 1942 Lightning bug and K3 Line. 73 de West Virginia

---

From W3SI, BILL

My first time doing a SKCC event and I stayed on 40 mtrs all evening. I am using a HB cootie key and I actually had fun. Met a whole bunch of considerate hams on this event. Looking forward to next months!

---

From W4QDV, David

Another great SK CC event, thanks to all who make these possible. Also, thanks to the ops who were sending at 13 wpm and below for us slowpokes. 73 de David W4QDV

From W4RQ, Rich

T-storms kept me off the air for half the sprint, however I’m happy I decided to give it a go because I heard a very slow and hesitant CQ. Only one time, so I called him at approximately the speed I heard. What I got in return was only a “ new to cw” so I called him again, a couple of times. It took him a couple of tries, but he finally got my Callsign out, a 599 RST and his name. Then told me this was his first CW QSO. We managed to get our full exchange and ended our QSO. Afterwards, he sent an email thanking me for slowing down and taking the time for him so he could make his very first CW QSO. That one QSO was to me worth a hundred or more, I felt honored, it really made my day! Thank You Bob W9CWC and welcome to the SKCC !

---

From W6WU, Steve

Started on 20M and worked KG5OWB there. Mostly on 40M, finished up working W4RQ before the "bell rang". Fun!

---

From W9HT, Josh

A fun time as always, except having to deal with a wasp nest after sundown towards the end of the sprint… 73 de W9HT/WASP

---

From W9SA, Bill

Great sprint night. The first hour I answered CQ's and the second hour I sent CQ. Fun as usual.

---

From WA5AFD, Gerald

Very nice sprint. Got started late due to storms but great to hear so many signals on the bands. Great to catch some new numbers for me and to hear many signals of former friends. Thanks to all that made the sprint possible. Also thanks Brian K2ACX for my first DC QSO. 73, Gerald

---

From WA9BBN, Ed

Operated fixed portable from the car with an ICOM 7100 and Hustler mobile antenna with a 40 meter resonator. Location was from a YMCA parking lot on the north side of Fort Wayne, IN. The temperature was about 80 degrees F. for the whole 2 hours.

---

From WB9HFK, Mark

I thought 40M conditions were so-so last evening. QRN level also a bit high - sorry to those I could not pull out of the noise. Fun time, however! See everyone next time! 73, Mark WB9HFK

---

From WH2ACT, Brian

Thanks for digging out my 5 watt operation with the antenna indoors on back of Yaesu FT817ND, field conditions with A/C hi hi. Worked from south Texas to Maryland and Oregon. 73!

---

From WS9E, Joe

I got on 40 Mtrs for about 30 minutes. Lots of activity. I used my FTDX101D, Speed-X straight key and stealth dipole. See you next month. 73. Joe
