In the Iowa winters, I kept my Cherios milk in the window for my breakfast at my station before school. In the other seasons, I had to waste radio time going down stairs to the kitchen for it. VFO's are a blessing from the RF Gods.

From AC2C, Ron

Band conditions were about the worst that I've seen in a long time. Add the passing T-Storms and I consider myself lucky to have logged 52 entries.

From AD0AB, Jim

That was a fun WES, but I missed a lot of old friends. No matter what, I couldn't reach Bert, F6HKA, Jerry, K6III or any of the Missouri Outlaws. On the bright side, I did reach Ward, ON8WR, a new contact for me and my only across the pond QSO.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in the next WES or maybe sooner. Jim

From AK3X, Peter

A few contacts when I had time. Thanks to the folks running tube gear. TenTec Argonaut V at 5 watts and 80 m OCF doublet. 72 all Peter

From AK4JA, Bobby

Had a great time in this WES even though I didn't get to work as many hours as I would have liked. Ran two homebrew tube, crystal controlled transmitters (one for 20 M and one for 40 M) Both rigs were QRP - just under 5 watts out on both. Used my straight key in both cases. Worked Cuba, Portugal, Bulgaria as SKCC DX, which is always a thrill to me (working DX in a WES) Thanks again, SKCC WES organizers, for a wonderful event.

From CT1BQH, Carlos

Condx were not that good but fun was at its maximum with top-class ops. Once again thanks everybody. GL and best 73...de Carlos CT1BQH

From CT7AFN, Carlos

Again lots of fun !
I was alternating between a 4 tube/Xtal homemade TX, about 70 W, lent by my friend Carlos, CT1BQH and a Flex 1500 + one GI46B tube linear amplifier, 100 W.
Also during Sunday I did some WES calls with an ART13 / BC348 but propagation to USA at that time did not help. Antenas were vertical, end fed and a dipole. Keys used were a Czech straight key a Blue Racer and a Lionel J36 bug.
Thanks to all and 73 de Carlos, CT7AFN

From F6HKA, Bert

Very limited time due to numerous storms with torrential rains. I had to disconnect the antennas several times. The QRN level was high on all bands with static crashes at S7/S9. I finally gave up. Thanks for the QSOs and I hope it will be better the next time 73. Bert

From G0RDO, John

Few stations (virtually nil) heard from NA. But interestingly good sigs from Portugal which is south of here. This has been the same for quite a few months now. Anyway - all good fun.
73

From GM0EUL, Peter

A great reason to fire up my HW100! Dipped in and out and had great fun. Bands were variable but adequate for some reasonable dx from time to time. A few Americans heard me and, as others have mentioned, terrific propagation to Portugal.

From I5EFO, Emil

Swan 350B RTX, Yaesu FL2100B PA and 2 el QUAD ant.

From K0CW, Charles

Couldn't spend much time this WES but still great fun.

From K0FD, Dan

Bands were not great, but it was fun working some stations on 10 meters on Sunday.

From K0FTC/7, John

Picture is of Jelm Mountain WY (pronghorn in foreground). My /p station is in the second saddle to the left (south) from the top. The observatory is a bit over 10K'at the top, and I am just about 9K'. Condx not great, but QSO's were fairly steady, and some really nice surprises (VK7CW- 2 hours after sunset on 20 meters for example). New DX for me was Carlos CT7AFN (POR), Noe CM8NMN (CUB). Great to QSO again with Steve VK7CW (AUS), Max KH6ZM (HI), and Bob (WL7WH). Tnx to Jim - ND9M/7, the other "/7" for giving me WY. Many others from ME to CA, and ID to FL, many QSO's with Canadians - thanks to all. Antenna - ZS6BKW- variant of the G5RV, TS-480SAT on generator, 100 watts, Czech military key. 73 John K0FTC/7

From K0KEX, Rick

Enjoyed working the Boat Anchor stations and reading all the comments, pix's. Great memories thanks to all stations worked...
73 Rick

From K1EDG, Ed

Wow a lot of math this time!

From K2HT, Dick

Fun event made contacts on 6 and 10 meters, been a long time since heard stations on those bands in WES. Hope to have more operating time next month. 73 and thanks

From K3CKO, Bob

Bought a Japanese bathtub key at a hamfest Saturday morning . Had it adjusted in time to use it in the contest by 11)00. The key worked great. was very smooth. See picture below.

From K3DRJ, Jim

Thanks to all the stations I worked. It was a fun weekend. The TR-3 and RV-4 had issues on Saturday, so I had to use the KNWD TS-590SG. Spent some time on the TR-3 getting it breathing again out and used it all day Sunday with /21 tube bonus. Worked OK on 40 putting out about 175 Watts, but only about 30 on 80, and wouldn't do anything on 20 and up. Still enjoyed every QSO.

From K3EW, PHIL

Only had first three hours to operate. Had house guests the rest of the weekend. Sorry I missed the fun but thank you for your QSO's and for those Bonus Points ( Especially W3NP 48X)

From K3JZD, Jody

Reduced the length of my sloped End Fed Random Wire antenna from 59' to 53'. That reduction in length made it a better performer on 40 meters. Maybe it is me, but I never hear any SKCC WES activity on 80 meters late at night. IC-7200 / 53' EFRW Jody - K3JZD

From K3SEN, Dale

Not much time, off and on. Thanks for the Qs. 73 Dale K3SEN FTdx-1200 / Diamond BB7V

From K3WW, Chas

I spent most of the weekend on 6 meters in the VHF test chasing Grid Squares. WES got off to a very slow start. One member found me on 6 and I had my Straight Key ready to give him the WES exchange.
73 Chas K3WW

From K4BAI, JOHN

Time limited this weekend, primarily due to ARRL VHF Contest and good Sunday conditions on six M.
Also Church and Sunday School and family events including a grandson's baseball game. Thanks for all QSOs, especially the tube and crystal controlled tube guys. Somoe of your signals were very chirpy and I sent your reports with a "C." 73, John, K4BAI.

From K4JAZ, Paul

Power went out for a couple of hours Saturday evening due to a thunderstorm and wind. It was still a fun event. thanks for the QSOs!!

From K5ZOL, Bob

Made one WES QSO on 6M and one on 10M...The other two were on 40M 6M was HOT and I was there most of the time.

From K6ELQ, Tony

AWOL this weekend. Gone Saturday and saw some needed S/T on SKCC Skimmer on Sunday and pounced. Two of them had lots of tubes and were xtal-controlled in addition to being new T's (to me).

From K6GCN, Bob/18x

First WES with DX-60 and SX-111. Only on the air for a couple of hours, but great fun! Appreciative comments from other ops for the 18X bonus points. Would love to see the Boat Anchor theme several times a year!

From K6III, Jerry

Casual ops - did manage to find several new SKCC numbers.

From K6JF, Jim

Poor solar minimum conditions, but surprisingly managed to log 25 QSOs!

From K7ROH, TOM

Guess I need to invest in something with more tubes than 6..See you next month..

From K8FAC, Frank

Had to go to a family cookout on Sunday, and the bands were lousy all weekend, so I only logged 5 QSOs. Still, it was fun to once again fire up the boat anchors, and experience a smile of satisfaction as I received my signal reports with a "C" proudly affixed to the end! The sound of history, long live the mighty chirp!!

From K8JD, John

I had a weekend filled with family activities and only could grab less than 1.5 hours of radio time. Could only find 4 of my 13 QSOs on 20M and the rest on 40M.

From K8LJG, JOHN

A little more time this WES. Funny condx though

From K8NB, Noel

I only heard about the theme at the last minute, no time to fire up any of the tube gear. Station this month was a Ten Tec Corsair II and a Vibroplex Champion from 1956. I had a great time as always.

From K9DAC, Tom

Gone most of the weekend but got in 20 minutes with 8 contacts, all on 20m. Crazy conditions, getting close-in contacts such as Illinois, Michigan...

From K9PMV, Jerry

Great fun putting my Hallicrafters HT32/SX101 on the air. This setup has a total of 35 tubes working and cost nearly $1k in 1958! S&P is challenging to zerobeat each station. Did get a run going which made thing easier. Fourty meters carried the load at this QTH. Apologies to those who had to copy my "bug" fist. Need more practice with it. The straight key still rules though. 73 to all and will be looking for you at the next event.

From KA5TJS, Allen

Conditions were rough here this weekend. Most contacts were on 40 meters. Just 3 contacts on 20 meters and no DX this month. CUL.

From KB0ETU, Phil

Tried working QRPp, but no one would acknowledge, so I went to "full power" to QRP. Another busy weekend! Tnx to the organizers and the participates. Couldn't do without either. Used a K-2 to G5RV up 35 feet. 72, Phil

From KB1WOD, Dave

Only spent about 8 hours this time. Had a busy weekend. 20 meters was really bad.

From KB5JO, Curt

Only one other crystal controlled boat anchor contacted. Used a DX60B and my Drake 2B.

From KC1NS, Nancy

My 1st CW contact in 30 years! Thanks to Frank for slowing down for me :)

From KC2ICA, Dave

I actually made 4 qso's from the park bench across the street from my apartment in the first hour-and-a-half Saturday morning; but I lost my paper log, so no record, no score. Rick, N8XI was kind enough to email me the record of our qso, so I hereby officially claim 1 qso. WES is always fun!

From KC4ZA, AL

Strong thunderstorms in the area Saturday and generally poor propagation over the contest period.

From KD2JC, Joe

Nice event but not much time to participate. Thanks to W3NP and W8HOG for xtal bonuses.

From KD3CA, Don

Was fun as usual . missed some with QSB and QRN .TNX to those using Vintage rigs & the bonus Points. Best 73 to all Don

From KD9EBS, Sergey

Greetings:
It was lots of fun, as usual.
I would like to thank all my contacts, and especially Bill NZ0T, who gave me 24 bonus points.
73!

From KE4OH, Steve

Since I only use boatanchor gear year round, I always look forward to the boatanchor theme WES. But I was a little disappointed this year. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of activity. RBN indicated that I was getting out okay. But I had a lot of dry spells calling CQ.

The rig this year TX: KnightKit T-150A (8 tubes), 100 watts, crystal control. RX: Drake 2-B/2BQ Q-multiplier (12 tubes), Gonset Monitone CW monitor (2 tubes) for a total of 22 tubes. Fan dipole antenna and Vibroplex straight key.

From KF7WNS, Gary

Running 50 watts from my 2NT. QSB was really tough this time and noise level took out a number of stations...sorry to those I couldn't copy. I always look forward to exercising the tube rigs.

From KK0I, Jack

Limited time this weekend. The 40-meter band was hopping when I was on. Thanks for all the contacts folks. See you again down the log.

From KK7H, Mike

Big thank you to the Boat Anchor guys. Was hoping to knock out my "s" this weekend, came up 11 short. Thanks to all.

From N4OW, AL

Saturday the QSB on 20 was like an empty elevator shaft, stations were going from 589 to 000 before an exchange could be completed. Sunday got very interesting with brief openings on 15,10,&6 the Clubs RBN was a great help in grabbing some contacts on those bands. Thanks to all the "Boat Anchor" ops who added lots of FUN to this WES. 73 to all, de N4ow AL 11375s

From ND9M/7, Jim

Operated portable at Glendo State Park in east central Wyoming where my XYL and I are volunteer campground hosts for the next few weeks. The few trees that we have are short, so my OCF dipole is up all of 20 feet. Add to that regular high winds (> 40 MPH) made for an interesting weekend. Thanks to all of the tube ops out there for putting the "real radios" on the air!

From NE1F, Mary

First ever WES

From NE5DL, Dave

Operated with K3 at 5W and a panadapter, Hex Beam and vertical for 40M, but mostly 20M. Worked POR and BEL. Used a newly nodified TBKII side swiper from W1SFR, very smooth.

From NF1O, Barry

not a big effort but did finally get my wife to enter. NE1F made a few contacts.

From NF5U, Jerry

A busy weekend here in TX.
Managed to work a few stations with the old Swan boat anchor
at 90W using 14 tubes into a dipole with a Kent straight key.
Thanks to all, 73�s
Jerry, NF5U

From NG7Z, Paul

Again as in the May sprint, it was tough going for me on 20M both days. Each Q was hard won and I treasured each one. It's difficult to gauge the participation level based on what I could hear, which isn't much due to my crummy antenna. The sked page was quite active but 9 times out of 10 I couldn't hear the ops who posted their QRG. So I was left to CQ'ing a lot and hoping I could be heard. The east coast from AZ was practically non existant on both 20M and 40M. So the mult count was low. Having said this, I did a lot better this month than last month. And that's what keeps me in the chair. Thanks to all for the Q's and see you next month. 73 Paul NG7Z

From NM1W, Jim

Not a lot of time to get on the radio but had fun; Glad to see NE1F & NF1O getting on, though I missed working them.

Warmed up my Drake "fraternal" twins. T-4XB and R-4A. Much bigger workload than my K3 but lot's of fun! Antennas - 2 element 5 band quad at 40' and 160 meter loop fed with window line. Bencher RJ-2 key.

From NZ1J, Dave

I always look forward to the WES. Like last month, it gave me a lot of practice and a lot of new numbers.

This month, I convinced my XYL, KC1NS, to give it a try as well.

From OK1DSA, Roman

Stormly weekend and very, very poor condx - my favorite QRP was inapplicable. I turned the power knob to QRO 50 W output, but I still had a trouble to make a QSO. On Saturday I tried to call several stations on 40 and 20 m band but without a positive result. On Sunday - between 9.00 and 11.00 UTC - I managed to do my only 3 QSOs in this WES (CT1BQH, F6HKA and F6EJN - thanks a lot, guys).

It was very hard work but I'm looking forward to the next WES.

Used equipment:
TCVR - old TS-690S with QRO power 50 W output
ANT - indoor half-size G5RV in a loft of my house
STRAIGHT KEY - small German TKP "Mouse"

73 and CU in the next WES

From VE1AHX, Ben

I could only operate for part of the final hour of this WES

From VE3RDE, Roger

This month's theme created all sorts of pileups, but then again so did the strange band condx... It was also fun to listen in on the 6m openings during the June VHF. Fun as usual, for the 10 hours operating I could afford this weekend. See you next month!

From VE7CNF, Toby

I found propagation to be poor, but it was still great fun to get the tube gear on the air again and hunt for X's. Sending was done with the straight key and bug. My DX40, VF1, and Blue Racer were donations from Steve VE7SL - Thanks Steve!

From VK7CW, Steve

Another enjoyable WES, however I didnt have a lot of time to participate. Sunday afternoon (local) on 20m was very good conditions into NA. Thanks to all who worked me. 73 de Steve VK7CW #10820S

From W0SZV, Eldon

Not a lot of time to spend on WES, but had fun. Using Elecraft K3s at 100 watts and a 250 ft loop up 10 ft. key was a Wm Nye set of paddles wired as a cootie

From W1LIC, Wes

Didn't put a lot of time into it. Was primarily trying to work 15, 10, and 6 meters. It was a challenge on 6 with ARRL VHF contest going on. Glad to make a few contacts anyhow. FT-450D 100w to Hustler mobile antenna, Speed-X knock-off straight key. Will be on the higher bands more during the day on weekdays. 73

From W1TAG, John

Great weekend! The Es openings on Sunday were fun, and is was nice to see so many bands in play for a change. My plans to run the old Eico 720 came to naught, as it developed problems this past week, and I lacked the stuff at our camp to fix it. So stuck with the usual KX3. Thanks to the guys who did the many-tube xtal work -- there are going to be some big scores!

From W2NRA, ART

Hmm, I wonder if K.I.S.S. could be applied to future SKCC activities?

From W3NP, Dave

48 (tubes) squared really adds up fast!! My score almost doesn't seem real.
The xmtr was a Johnson Viking II circa 1952 and the receiver was a R-390A paired with a Hammarlund HC-10. Also used a Johnson TR switch for switch-less changeover. The old radios worked flawlessly for all 97 contacts. I worked 14 stations with tube gear and 8 were xtal control. The x to x bonus was huge.
I used my new VizKey BFC "Big Fat Cootie" that I won during the NRR this year. Antenna was the 160m horizontal loop @ 50'. Had Q's on 80,40, and 20. Didn't have many crystals for 20 but had plenty on 40.
Conditions were downright horrible and I had T'storms all weekend with constant QRN.
Being a vintage gear guy - I had a lot of fun. Spent several days before the WES getting the rigs checked out and doing some maintenance.
Biggest disappointment was having a crystal only a khz away from a stn calling CQ and him not tuning around just a bit to hear me calling in vain.
Thanks & 73 - Dave

From W4AFB, Keith

Didnt have any time to work the WES. Wish I had. Love the tubes theme!

From W4DHT, DREXEL

This was my second WES, and I enjoyed more than the first one.
LOTS OF FUN!

From W4FOA, Tony

Limited time to operate but what time I did have was a lot of fun. My rig Johnson Adventurer (20 watts output) crystal controlled and Drake 2B/2BQ receiver. Key was my new Camel Back, handmade by Kelly K7SU. Thanks for the QSO's.

From W4SVA, Chris

Not much operating time between thunderstorms. Ran a HT-32B, HT-33a, and R-390A for a total of 50 tubes.

From W5DW, BUD

This was my first WES. Nothing like a good straight key contest to limber up the stiff wrists and alot more fun than yard work in the Texas heat !

From W5TMT, Ray

Fun event! Thanks to all of the ops who brought out their boat anchors.

From W6UG, Phil

Good signals never die, they just fade away! Every time a station sailed around the first mark I lost em in the 20M QSB. A fun regatta anyhow. Thanks to KF7WNS, W7OS and K6GCN for supplying so many squared tubes.

From W7OS, Doc Spike Museum

Multi-op, running Collins 75A4 and WRL Globe Champ: 38 tubes, xtal control. Got called out by K2OO for chirp, hope it wasn't too offensive. Otherwise, had a great time, TNX for the Qs.

From W9CC, Larry

It was good to hear tube rigs again!

From W9KMP, Ken

I found the "short skip" on 20 very interesting. I spent more time doing the WES than I usually do and my score reflects that.

From WA0CIE, Butch

Storms were bad, had to pull the plug more than once due to thunder and lightening. Managed to connect with N4OW on 10, 15, and 20, all with in an hour, thanks. 10 new numbers. Interesting how numerous 599 stations couldn't hear me, but many 449 stations were able to connect. Looking forward to more Brag contacts.

From WA1VIL, Greg

Great time exercising the DX20 and Drake 2B with the NC183 as my cw monitor. Switching and tuning was a chore and I apologize if. I missed someone�s call. Now I remember why back in my novice days every QSO was a prize! Do have to find some rocks that get me on 20 meters where the action was hot!
73 to all and catch you next time!

From WA3GM, Greg

Allot of family stuff this weekend so not much operating time....

Did pick up some of the bonus points and more towards my S.
Only 9 away from the S

From WA4FQN, Jerry

Condtions on 40 and 20 on Saturday made you work for your contacts, while 20 was short and hopping with stations on Sunday afternoon and stations I would usually work on 40M were plentiful on 20M. Had a nice little run on 15M Sunday afternoon after answering AF4K's call to 15 on the Sked page. Loved working several boatanchor stations, W3NP must have the record with 48 tubes, with W7OS possibly #2 with 38; 5 of 8 boatanchor QSO's were using crystals. No boatanchor rig here this year, but maybe next year. A fun WES for sure.

From WB0SND, Mike

Hardly any time to operate unfortunately. Used a Viking 2 and 75A-4. Hopefully next month will be better.

From WB2LQF, STAN

Although I've been a member since 2010, this is the very first time I've ever participated in an SKCC activity - I guess better late than never! Only made 6 QSOs "to try out the system." Very impressive SKCC website, variety of activities, informative newsletter and useful information. I think "this could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship." Been 100% CW for over 55 years and partial to my bug and Cootie. Enjoy ragchewing, DXing and QRP. Don't own a mic. Everybody has a mouth but how many people have a good fist?? CW Forever! 73, Stan

From WB3GCK, Craig

I operated from Valley Forge National Park for a few hours on Saturday. It was hot and the QRN from storms in the area was deafening at times but it was fun.

From WB4BIN, Dave

Fun WES. 20m was weak for the whole sprint, but 40m was not bad. Looking forward to the SKS.

From WB5UAA, Guy

Started off with my Drake 2NT/2C/2CQ (9x) but I was struggling with a "no so selective" receiver. Switched to my IC-7410 huntin' and poucin' for the rest of the 24 hours. Tnx, and C U all agn! Guy WB5UAA

From WB8ENE, Art

I made more contacts than I usually do in a WES, trying out a newly built QRP Labs QCX40 transceiver, running 4-5 watts. Used a Bencher straight key, and antenna was a 40 meter dipole at 15 feet. Thanks for the contacts. 73, Art

From WB8SDA, Carmen

Tried to dust off the Swan but it didn't cooperate. Will figure it out for the next boat anchor run. Still a good time. Working 5 watts with everyone is always a treat but when I was questioning my antenna and conditions, I worked both CT1BQH & ON8WR on my 5 watts. Thanks Carlos & Ward. Guess my station is working fine.

From WB9CAC, Bill

Conditions were not too bad. Good fun. 73's

From WD5ABC, Kerry

Thanks for all the guys who listened for my puny-weak 5w signal. The bands weren't too cooperative until near the end of the Sprintathon. My last contact was CT1BQH in Portugal from TX with 5 watts! Carlos was doing all the work, there was a lot of QSB but he stuck with me. The rig again this time was a Czech military key, Flex 3000 at 5 watts and doublet at 30 feet. I just finished rebuilding my old Drake L-4B so maybe I'll give it a workout next time!

73,
Kerry, WD5ABC

From WU1V, Rick

Bands started to become lively toward the end. 3 2-way QRP QSOs. Mostly US but Portugal and Canada also worked, worked 20 & 40 M bands. Pictured is my new cootie, the Torsion Bar Cootie/Paddle designed and made for me by Steve Roberts, W1SFR. 72 to all who heard/worked me - Rick

From WV8DH, Dave

I thought these sprints were supposed to be fun. I had to work for a lot of the contacts but all in all it was still a lot of fun. Thanks to all those that managed to pull out my signal and also to the organizers. Rig was the IC-7300 running 5 watts into either the G5RV on 40 meters or the Hex beam on 20 meters. Best 73/73 from Wild and Wonderful West Virginia, Dave
