European DX-Contest CW 2000

Contest Echo

4X/OL7D: A pleasure to work so many excellent CW oprs.

CX9AU: This was my first WAE-CW and was very interesting contest. Use much off time... had 39° fever and wkd 3 hours the first night...

DJ7MG: This WAE was the contest of the low sounds. Ionosphere was more a swab than a mirror...

DJ9MH: Summer murphy party...

DK5OS: Better condx resulted in a higher score than ever expected with my wire antennas...

DK7FP: QTC traffic makes this contest exciting...

DL1BUG: Tnx excellent QTC traffic...

DL2DRZ: Cuagn next year...

DL2ZAV: Running barefoot means no additional heat on a hot WAE weekend...

DL7YS: Aurora on 2 and 6m seemed to be better than WAE...

DL8WX: Phantastic demonstration of the sun's activity on Saturday!

EA2CR: Happy to take part in the WAEDC. Licensed 7 Jul 1950!

EA4FL: Very bad conditions in all directions during August 12...

G0MTN: Extremely bad conditions on Saturday. Could hear almost no-one!

G3RSD: At one time I thought that there would be no contact with USA...

G3TXF: The QTCs make the WAE an especially fun contest. The use of computer generated CW has improved beyond recognition the tidiness and accuracy with QTCs are sent...

G3VQO: Only a few contacts - conditions were poor on Saturday...

G5G: Very poor condx on Saturday due to solar flares, so not a very good score this year...

G6QQ: Found condx poor at all times I operated. Few US stations heard... GM/PA0INA/p: I try to join from a little campsite with nearly no atenna possibility...

H2G: My first real attempt at this contest. High static problems on LF bands. Hard to find takers for my QTCs, many DLs refused!

HA1AG: My first full blown SO2R attempt. Although it was the worst condx I ever had in a contest I enjoyed every minute of it. With K being 6 and 7 entire weekend, I had to fight for each QSO. May thanks to HA1DAE and HA1TJ for the use of their station

HB9AYZ: Didn't hear any U.S. station...

HB9DCM: Unfortunately the conditions of propagation weren't so good....

HL4/VK3DXI: Great pleasure meeting club members of HL0RBU who made my operation in this contest possible...

I3FDZ: Thunderstorm muted the receiver for several hours...

IA5/DF2CH: Hot weather but much fun working DX from a QTH close to the water. Just for a few hours and practising morse code with the QTCs...

IR2V: Very poor conditions, but some nice sigs on 40: The Caribbean stations were really very loud, both mornings, on that band...

JF2FIU: Why did the magnetic storm spoil the whole day?

JG3VEI: Couldn't find many EU stations...

JH3AIU: Somewhat recovered on the second day but the total score was decreased half of last year's. I expect bigger EU-JA openings 10 to 20m next year!

JJ3TBB: I am glad that I could file almost all QTCs...

JR4PMX/1: Tough conditions!

K1ZZ: There was plenty of time to mow the lawn on Saturday...

K3WW: Thunderstorm forced late start. Great contest but not enough propagation. Solar storm forced other inactivity. Still fun...

K4IU: Major solar storm wiped us out during first part of contest...

K5ZD: Only a few minutes to join the contest...

K8CV: Propagation stunk...

K9GY/3: Rough conditions made the first day a little trying...

KC1F: Conditions were terrible, worst I can remember since my first WAE in 1971. Those who completed the contest are true contesters...

KQ3F: Listening to EU at 00:45z on 15 meters on August 19! Too bad that the contest wasn't one week later. But things got better on Sunday...

LA9HFA: Strong aurora here in Norway...

LU1DZ: The first day was really frustrating. Second day was better but was a hard a job to copy all those weak sigs. LU7EE is an 90% hipoacustic using special magnetic coupled to the ear and he operated 50% of the operating time...

LU1EWL: Once again my best score since 1981...

LY2BBF: Vy bad conditions first day...

LY2IJ: Most difficult contest ever. Preparing for good runs on all bands on solar activity maximum year, but conditions were worse than in a sun activity minimum. After such hard work I didn't hear alarm clock to wake up on Sunday morning...

M5X: Our first entry in this contest and a pity conditions were so bad. Looking forward to next year...

N3RD: Worst condx EVER in any contest we've operated. After making only 30 QSOs in over 2 hours, 20 and 15 went flat, we made the hard decision to quit. In addition, we suffered a 10 hour power failure. However, never fear, we'll back in 2001!

N4AF: Solar and electrical storms made it hard to copy all but the loudest stations...

N6ZZ/5: The solar storm almost blew WAE CW off the bands...

N8LM/4: Only a few signals got above the noise level...

OH0/DJ7ST: Aurora - a wonderful natural phenomenon! But a disaster on the air for contesters in Scandinavia...

OH1F: A typical Finnish radio propagation - this time the rest of Europe enjoyed it too!

OK1FCA: Again better result than last year. See you in next century...

OL4M: Vy vy vy poor condx, sri. Small pistol with 250W and LW ant all band. My age is also not optimal: 73, hi. Can you arrange some price for hams over 70 with over 100k points?

OL5Y: Horrible condx... finished after 19 hours...

ON4XG: No thunder storm this year. But what happened on Saturday?

ONL383: KC1XX was coming 449 on 40 instead of 599 as usual. Condx on Sunday a little bit better but surely not exceptional...

PA0RRS: First day very bad conditions, second day a bit better...

PT2AW: I don't mind about propagation, it's my favourite contest!

PY2NY: 40m saved the contest with my new yagi. My best result into this contest...

PY2YU: Super BIG QRN...

PY4FQ: Thanks a lot for nice contest...

RW9SW: The propagation's intrigue made this tour more interesting. Thanks to all EU's for their patience...

S51TA: Poor band condx on first due to aurora...

S57U: I am very pleased for new low power entry...

SP4GFG: Thanks for enjoy - it was wonderful...

SP5GH: Condx vy poor but result slightly better than last year, hi...

SP9NSV: One of may favourite contests. Wish I had more time...

TA4/LY2FN: Thanks to the Antalya Radio Club team that gave me a chance to participate in this contest...

UU5J: Conditions was almost disturbed during this WAEDC. No chance to make big result at all...

V26FM: After arriving at airport of Antigua we had only 3 hours to set up the station and prepare for the contest. Propagation to EU was not so good as expected, some daytime hours were very hard to work EU...

VE4YU: All bands closed to EU until about 1500. Then 15m okay but 20m no good. Slowly 20m came in late in the contest. It is a fun contest!

VK2APK: Saturday was terrible and I am sure a lot of operators gave up. After 5 hours I had only made 43 QSOs. Only on 15 meters I made more QSOs than last year...

VK4TT: QTCs make you think...

VP5Y: Saturday was a disaster. Sunday much better. Thanks to all who moved!

VR2BG: conditions were awful...

W3BGN: WX cooperated, rainy, cool, dull, but bands didn't. Solar flares killed Saturday. Managed to improve over last year by putting in more hours.

W5NR: Very weak signals from Europe. Hope to see you in 2001...

W6NKR: Conditions were so worst I've never experienced. Almost a blackout on Saturday the 12th...

W8GN: Three hours of operation...

WZ8A: Had it not been for KC1XX, there would have been nothing to hear on Saturday...

YO4AAC: Tnx for the new country worked in the contest...

YO8RX/p: It was the finest contest from all...

YO9HP: Still a nice contest, in spite of my bad antennas and of poor propagation...

YU7SF: My 42nd WAEDC-CW and 2224 contest entry since 1958...

YZ1SG: WAE is the most complex and most interesting contest...

Z35G: I participated from QTH where eagles live - 1600m asl...
