Notes by W9WI

Poor propagation led to generally lower scores in 2005. Nobody (except K4TCG) beat the 100,000-point barrier; only one DX station submitted an entry; and 71 entries were submitted, vs. 75 in 2004. On the other hand, two new score records were set. K9EU handily smashed the record for out-of-state entrants. There was one close race this year; K0GSV in Missouri beat K0JPL by only two CW QSOs.

SOAPBOX

K3CQ:
High antenna wasn't working well. Hiked to top of hill, found tree down across the open wire feed line and half the antenna on the ground. It's a wonder it worked at all! Enjoyed the last hour on 80 more than the rest of the test after I straigntened out the antenna situation a little.

K3GY:
This contrest has been run with W3KM's logging program GENLOG32 - qrz.com for w3km web page.... FREEWARE !

K3TW:
"Thanks for sponsoring a fun QSO Party."

K4XU:
Boy, the conditions really sucked pondwater. I worked everything I heard. I was not able to start until 2 PM. Nice to work K4LTA/m in Sevier County, my old home. (Sorry Dick, had to edit some of your soapbox -- it lost everything after the 80-column point & I had to delete two sentences that didn't make sense without their ends!)

N2CQ:
Great activity but not good condx.

N3KN:
I HAD FUN!

N8NM:
Major flares/CME events, disturbed propagation, near perfect weather, and I decide to drive 500 miles to spend the day operating TQP from the Cumberland Valley using QRP and "FD" style dipoles at 20 feet! It was grueling, but I'd do it again tomorrow! Thanks for a great contest, and I hope to see "you'ns" again next year!

NA9U:
Great QSO party had a lot of fun.

NE4S:
Good signals in Colorado from TN.

VA3RKM:
FT-817, 5W, dipole and vertical. Tnx for working my small sig!

W1END:
Didn't hear much this year. Conditions?? Rig: TS830s and Butternut HF6V antenna. Log-EQF software. Thanks to everyone. We'll try harder next year.

W4HZD:
Band condx were poor, but enjoyed a great run on west coast.

W6RLL:
If band conditions don't hurry up and get better, they just might get worse(?) Is that possible?

WB0UZM:
40 meters was its usual mess. 20 meters so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
