VK6WHO SINGLE-OP SSB QRP worth no sleep
VK3CWS SINGLE-OP SSB HIGH Operated via Club Remote (VK3CNE) located at Briar Hill near Greensborough Victoria. Transmitter and Receiver are co located at QF22nh.
VK6AKR SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH A member of The Three Musketeers team together with Robert VK6WHO (Team Captain) and Mark VK6EZ Good to have some 23cm contacts and some RTTY as well. Look forward to next year!
VK7ID SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH I tried some CW for the first time and had so much fun. Thanks to all of my CW contacts for being patient with my beginner paddle skills.
VK4JJ SINGLE-OP CW LOW Enjoyed this contest from home. Fairly quiet, but picked up at times. Antennas: telescopic vertical in the back garden with 16 radials for 20/15 and a low inverted-V wire for 40M. Nice to see lots of <5 year operators. Thanks to all who worked me and see you again next year.
VK3SCS MULTI-OP MIXED HIGH Station operated by single operator supervising 11 Joey, Cub, Scout & Ventuerer Scouts. They quickly learned and then took control the station mic, VFO, voice keyer and logging across the full 24hrs, they appreciated the on-air support from the other participants especially when things happening fast. Supervising operator still needs to catch up on sleep. IC-705, 40m EFHW (sloper@10m down to 6m) w/ZM-4 for 80m. According to power meter around 3w PEP from a 6yr old female voice, feel that I could tweak that higher for the future (radio config, not the young Scouts voice).
VK3TCM SINGLE-OP SSB HIGH My first time at this. Had a great time and what a great way to appreciate those that have defended this country over all the years.
VK6CNL MULTI-OP MIXED HIGH [email protected] Nearly got blown away with wind and rain!
VK7C/VK6 SINGLE-OP SSB HIGH Please count my score towards VK7's total. Location was at Lake Cowan Rest Area, 30kms north of Norseman, WA. Lightening and storm interupted proceedings early Saturday evening.
VL5L SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH My favourite contest of the year! Conditions on all bands except 10M were very good. Nice to work a few ZL's as well. This year I was using a K9AY / Aziloop stearable receiving array and a horizontal dipole / vertical monopole for transmit on 160M / 80M / 40M. The K9AY was very effective at nulling out the wideband surface radar on 80M A very quiet wideband receiving antenna! There was one other station using this type of antenna during the contest. Take a look at https://quietradio.co.uk/ for more information. The contest seemed to be well patronized this year, with many contesters on the bands. See you all next year! 73 Steve VL5L (VK5SFA)

VK4PDG SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP Loved the RD Contest. Enjoyed using CW for the first time and SSB. Pity that the band conditions weren't the best over the weekend. Has S7-S8 noise levels at my QTH.
VK2EZF SINGLE-OP CW LOW Thanks to all the contest organisers and participants. I was only able to operate part time and thought I'd give CW only a shot. So thanks to all for enduring my novice CW operating. Great to hear a wide range of years on CW from 3 to 61. Running 80W to a wire doublet on all bands. I operated 160, 80, 40 and 20m. 40m was up and down with s9+ one minute, barely readable the next. 80m very flat with more QSOs on 160m than 80m. Looking forward to the next one. 73.

VK7WW SINGLE-OP CW QRP Using WW2 gear has its limitations! Xtal locked on Tx and limitations on Rx filters! I had great fun, with other like minded souls paying respect to thos who we remember - 'Lest We Forget.' (.except for working the high-speed CW Keyboard/Computer Operators who have forgotten the politeness of slowing down to the other station's speed - but then, perhaps they dont know how to make adjustments...or too lazy to do so?)
VK2KQB SINGLE-OP SSB HIGH Great contest,
