| K7NJ | ASSISTED HIGH | Conditions were unstable and a bit strange. Called many Europeans that didn't come back. Transmitting antenna is a 54 foot top-loaded vertical. Receiving antennas are three bi-directional Beverages: EU/ZL, JA/SAm, E/W. |
| K8GB | ASSISTED LOW | Vertical configured as end fed inv vee with 2 radials at the end feedpoint, approx 35 ft at apex |
| K8GVK | SINGLE-OP LOW | End Fed Random long wire |
| K8MR | SINGLE-OP LOW | 80M OCF at 50 feet or so. |
| K8RR | SINGLE-OP LOW | Shortened inverted vee dipole, ladder line fed, highest point 45 ft. |
| K8VAN | SINGLE-OP LOW | 160-Off Center Fed Dipole |
| K8ZT | SINGLE-OP QRP | 43' vertical |
| K9CPO | ASSISTED LOW | EFHW 45 FT up in a tree in my back yard. Wire is 140 ft long. |
| K9CS | SINGLE-OP LOW | Antenna: Inverted L, 33 feet vertical + loading coil & wire sloping down to ~8 feet. |
| K9DR | SINGLE-OP LOW | 80 meter inverted Vee with apex at 45'. Antenna tuner in K3 got a workout! |
| K9GA | SINGLE-OP LOW | End Fed Wire at 45 feet |
| K9LA | SINGLE-OP LOW | I used an 80m inverted-vee with its apex at 30 feet. The internal tuner in my rig handled the high VSWR okay. If a station was stronger than about S6, the other station usually heard me. I will put up a real 160m antenna this spring. |
| K9MA | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Good conditions for solar max, but low activity. |
| K9WX | SINGLE-OP LOW | Antennas: Sloper at 45 feet. |
| KA4GFY | ASSISTED LOW | Off Center-fed Dipole antenna |
| KA4JRY | SINGLE-OP LOW | 234 ft long end fed |
| KB2URI | ASSISTED LOW | 132ft EFHW.. With a iffy 9:1, swapped out mid-contest with a loaner 9:1 from AC2FA (Thanks Bob!) - Gotta warm up the 3d-Printer to make an enclosure for a new 9:1. Might reconfigure the 132ft footprint to improve performance, and drop more radial |
| KB8TL | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted "L", quarter wave |
| KC0DWZ | SINGLE-OP LOW | EF Random Wire antenna 102 feet inverted L |
| KC1TNO | ASSISTED HIGH | 4SQ, bevs |
| KE0IAT | ASSISTED LOW | Flex 6400 Antennas: Butternut, Inveted L |
| KE0UI | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Inverted L: vertical portion 45ft, horizontal portion 85 ft sloping to 30 ft at end. |
| KE1U | SINGLE-OP LOW | I was only on for a few contacts to try out my antenna. First time I've been on 160 meters in over five years. |
| KE3K | ASSISTED LOW | I didn’t put in as much of an effort in this year. Had a few runs, but mainly S&P. I had 150 less Qs however, I did pick up a few more mults and countries. Working EU on 160, let alone hearing EU stations, from my QTH has always been a challeng |
| KE9EX | SINGLE-OP LOW | Antenna is a Random Wire thrown up a tree in the back yard. It was nice to have a chance to work on 160 Meters. It's a good thing to do while baking START-OF-LOG: 2.0 birthday cake. The band was jammed, just like the good old days. |
| KH6AQ | MULTI-OP | The first day we ran 1500 watts and the second day 100 watts after the amp failed with smoke and noise. Antenna was our usual 130' sloping Ground Plane worked against two elevated radials 25 ft. back from the seashore. |
| KJ6XC | SINGLE-OP LOW | 203 foot (62m) wire in 'C-like' shape at ~33 feet (10m) |
| KJ9C | SINGLE-OP HIGH | A couple hours just fer fun |
| KK2B | SINGLE-OP LOW | Antenna is a 1/2 Double Bazooka in an Inverted "L" Configuration. NO Radials. |
| KP4AA | ASSISTED HIGH | Good conditions on day one. Great conditions on day 2. |
| KV0I | ASSISTED LOW | End Fed Long Wire 25 Feet off the ground at the highest point |
| KX9RT | ASSISTED LOW | Conditions seemed very challenging with very strange propagation at times. Close contacts in MN, IL, and IN were difficult in the early evening while longer contacts into the East Coast were much easier. A lot of loud signals that couldn't be heard with m |
| LA3ZA | ASSISTED LOW | Inverted L, up 9 meters |
| LA8OKA | SINGLE-OP QRP | KX3 and a half wave dipole antenna |
| LB1UK | SINGLE-OP QRP | Long Wire 20m up 7m |
| LB2TB | ASSISTED HIGH | S&P only. Poor condx across atlantic. Nice to see the activity |
| LC7X | ASSISTED HIGH | SUNSDR DX Antennas: 28m Vertical Titanex |
| LC9T | ASSISTED LOW | 2x40m doublet 40ft height. |
| LY0NAS | SINGLE-OP LOW | Kenwood TS-590SG, 39m wire at most 10m height, 2 long radials, remotly |
| LY4T | SINGLE-OP QRP | W3DZZ 160/80 |
| LY7K | ASSISTED LOW | Inverted V dipole. Center height is exactly 50ft. Both ends are at about 23ft. |
| LY7Z | SINGLE-OP QRP | Inv L on 18m spiderpole with 5 radials. Radio K3 5 Watts |
| LY9A | SINGLE-OP LOW | Zero QSO with aggressor countries - israel, russia, belorus |
| LZ1AQ | SINGLE-OP HIGH | 600w, short T vertical, Rx ant: 3 phased active small loops |

| M0MDR | ASSISTED LOW | End-fed random wire 15 feet above ground |
| M0XUU | SINGLE-OP LOW | Last one hour of the contest. Need a proper antenna for 160 ! Next year maybe. |
| MM1E | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Power cut due to 100mph storm since 2pm Friday not restored until 6pm Sunday killed my entry from remote station this year. Nice to at least test out my new 160m L antenna. Thanks for all the Q's. 73 Gordon |
| MM1Z | SINGLE-OP LOW | 40m long wire antenna approx. 4 - 6 meters above the ground. |
