| 2E0HPJ | My first RTTY contest - great fun! |
| 5C5W | First congratulations and many thanks to Ed, W0YK and Don, AA5AU for this contest. I got a very nice propagation to NA in the afternoon that helped me a lot for score. I worked only about 8 hours in total. Thank you also to all who called me during the contest. I hope to see everybody next year. 73's de Mohamed |
| 7N2UQC | I was able to enjoy this contest. Tnx for a fine contest again. |

| AA7FY | Once ten opened up Sunday what a kick!! 73 de Mark |
| AB0RX | Good activity for a brand new contest |
| AI9T | Never could get a good running. Spent more time S & P than normal. |
| DF1LX | Nice condx. But not enough time to take part See u next yr for more activity from me and better antenna (TS850S+5 Band Trap Dipol) |
| DJ3GE | QRP 2.5 Watt from FT817 via tuner Z11 to off-center-fed wire, 21m long 8m high or for the direction South-South-West I could use a 2 ELe-Mini Yagi. Nice contest. I got several new countries with QRP RTTY on 10m. |
| DL5KUD | Thanks for picking up my 80 watts on a dipole up 10 m - see you next at more improving conds - 73 "JO" |
| DM5TI | Thanks Don and Mike for creation of this nice contest |
| G0MTN | This could catch on! |
| G4FKA | A good opportunity to check out some antennas I had put up during the morning to get ready for the ARRL 28MHz contest. Plenty of RTTY activity but unfortunately the band closed here before 18:00. Thanks to all for the QSOs. Equipment used was IC-756ProIII, 100w, 2 sloping dipoles, one facing NW the other NE. |
| GU0SUP | An excellent contest, and loads of participation considering this is the first run of this contest. Most enjoyable, and only marred slightly by the huge number of PSK/JT65 stations around 28080. Loads of fun, and will be back next year! |
| HA2MN | Thanks for Q's! |
| HI8PLE/7 | Had lot of fun, tnx Don, AA5AU for bring me to the contesting world,73 |
| IT9BLB | Just few hours to give the QSO to participants. Nice contest, I hope to be active in next one! |
| JA1AYO | Enjoyed the new contest. TNX!! |
| JA1BNW | Rig:TS950S 100Watts Ant:TA351 I really enjoyed the 10m RTTY contest. Thank you for your execution of this nice contest! |
| JA2AXB | Thanks nice contest. |
| JJ5HUD | I enjoyed very well. I will join next time. |
| JR2AAN/2 | I participated at MobileCarShack from Iwakura-city. |
| K0FX | Thanks to the sponsors for the first 10m RTTY contest. Looking forward to many more over the years. 73 - Don K0FX |
| K0YQ | Thank you Ed and Don, and Happy Holidays to all. |
| K1GU | TU Don & Ed. |
| K3FS | ENJOYED THE CONTEST |
| K6GEP | This could be the most successful contest launch in the history of radio contesting! Congrats! |
| K8SIA | Best catch for me was ZC4LI. Thanks to the sponsors for a fun contest. Great way to spend a rainy afternoon. |
| KB2HSH | Great fun! |
| KC2LST | The old saw is "If you can hear 'em, you can work 'em." That didn't hold true in this event for me. I had excellent prints on stations in Chile, Australia, Japan and elsewhere that my 100 watts could not reach. That probably has to do with my G5RV Jrs. at 15-foot elevations. Those won't compete with 10m beams at 100 feet. Nevertheless, it is surprising what one *can* work with the G5RV Jrs. and 100w. Kind of fun to work a contest barefoot! Thanks to all for the QSOs. |
| KD2MX | Only had a few hours. Great fun. Tnx to the organizers. |
| KJ8O | Congratulations on the first running of this contest, nice to see so much activity. Had a great time. |
| KK1X | Well I think for a virgin contest, this went very well. Nice participation, and I think there were a lot of new callsigns that I didn't recognize. A lot of prime operating time was taken up refurbing a PC, attending a club Xmax party, and relocating an 80m dipole ( I know - keep your eye on the ball!). Thanks VERY much to Don and Ed for organizing this! |
| KW4G | Only spent about 2.5 hours operating a casual effort. |
| KX7L | Just had a little time available on Sunday, but sounded like a great debut for this new contest! |
| N0SO | Only had a short time to operate, but it was fun to see so much RTTY activity on 10M |
| N2FF | It was actually great fun with stations at times packed together from below 28080 all the way up to 28150. I do not think the old band has ever seen that many RTTY stations on the band at one time for so long. I hope someone took a picture of that band map for posterity. Biggest thrills were to have an SU in the contest and to be called by a ZS off the back of the quad while running and then a short time later for a ZL to call in while pointed NW. The icing was to work a JA mult near the end of the contest as the band was dying. I really did not think that JA was going to happen. Hopefully next year will be even more fun especially if there is more wine. |
| N4LV | Not much time to play this time but will be back for the next one. |
| N7ESU | Nice Contest |
| N7NTQ | TNX TO DON & ED |
| N8HM | Propagation was not good. I heard very little EU. An F station was quite strong, but he was operating S&P. I called a relatively strong GM who came back to "N8" before fading out never to be heard from again. I ended up working 13 Texas stations and several in Colorado. Propagation seemed very focused on certain areas at certain times. Very strange conditions. I hope the conditions are better for this weekend's ARRL 10 Meter Contest. |
| N9BT | Lots of fun. I should have gotten on earlier. |
| NK5G | Great Contest! |
| NX8G/5 | OPERATED FROM MY WINTER HOME IN FRANKLINTON, LA. |
| NZ4O | Here in Florida propagation wasn't as good for the contest as it had been during the previous week. |
| PD7BZ | Tnx fer the very nice contest. |
| PE4BAS | Unfortunately did not have much time to contest. But propagation was very nice for the time I was able to be on the air. |
| RV3DBK | TX 5 Watts, Ant Magnetic Loop (indoor) |
| VE7CC | Its hard enough working Eu with HP, let alone LP. Easy for you with good propagation to that area. Don't know what you have against HP. |
| VU2UR | FIRST TIME TAKING PART AS A QRP; DIAMOND DPCP-5 ANT AT 15m |
| W0RAA | Band conditions were OK, but really slowed down in the mid afternoon. Plus, I had to shut down early to attend a family event at my daughter's house. Had a great time and maybe the band will bless us by being open all night, next year. It wasn't as good as conditions were in the CQ WW CW a week ago. Thanks to all for the contacts. |
| W1ZD | Nice to see 10 Mtrs full of RTTY signals. I had fun ! Lets do it again next year. |
| W5XB | Thanks for the contest. Next year will be on longer. This year it was work the contest, build a SteppIR, work the contest, rake leaves, work the contest, build the SteppIR |
| W6YX | I was late getting started and missed the first hour. JA's were still coming in, but that was it for Saturday night. Sunday morning I had a family commitment, so I missed the possible early morning opening to Europe and/or Africa. I got on at 19z and ran USA stations as fast as I could for a couple hours. Then a little search-and-pounce as well as running. Total time on the air less than 7 hours. Really fun to have everyone on ten meters, and more than enough RTTY activity to keep me entertained. Great new contest! W6YX Stanford University (operator K6UFO) Equipment: Rig: Yaesu FT-1000MP, 100 watts Antennas: Force12 C31XR at 60 ft, 5-el at 31 ft, 6-el at 75 ft Software etc: WriteLog and MMTTY |
| W8AKS | Great contest, had a lot of fun, looking forward to next year. |
| WA1EHK | GREAT TEST ON MY FAVORITE BAND |
| WA2IID | Great fun. Not bad for just low power and an indoor dipole |
| WA9IVH | Nice new contest! |
| WN0L | Great conditions! Hope this contest continues. |
| WP3GW | For being the first contest and my limited time, it was fun! TNX! |
| WS7I | 2.5 hours tough with a vertical |
| YO5OHY | Many station tnx to all ,73 GL |
| ZC4LI | Thanks to all concerned in running the contest. |
| ZS1JY | Nice conditions on 10m, however I could not operate the whole day. |
