AA0RI: Fun contest
AA4NC: Great to get a couple hours in the CQP. Got a lot of "Hi Will' from the 1x1 calls, but I had no idea who any of them were :>)
AA4TI: Well run QSO Party. Thanks for a good show.
AA5TL: THANKS.
AA6DX: Tried Hard, bit stroke & bypass got to me! My contesting days are about over, but I sure enjoy hearing all those pals of yore!
AA6W: It was fun to operate QRP from San Benito County. Thank you for all the contacts. Good luck - Don, AA6W.
AA6XV: The AA6XV Log was retrieved by Mike, N7MH from the W6YX station and submitted as a Check Log by K6MM on 3-Nov @ 1952 UTC. The AA6XV Log was retrieved by Mike, N7MH from the W6YX station and submitted as a Check Log by K6MM on 3-Nov @ 1952 UTC.
AA8TA: Nice short opening on 15 meters. 20 meters poor here. Hard to be heard in 6-land. Tnx fer the Qs. Nice short opening on 15 meters. Contacts seemed hopeless after it rained here since few could hear me any more.
AB0CD: IC7300 N1MM R3 RG 100W HOPE TEST TOOK YOUR MINDS OF FIRES FOR A BIT. BEST O LUCK TO CA!
AB1A: Operate portable after Oct 3 PA SET drill ???Keystone Horizons??? ended. Bands were most dead was able to work CA stations on 20 m with a telescoping 17 ft whip antenna mounted to permeant cooking grill in local twp park using a 1com-7300 radio. No contact made on 40m with same antenna and loading coil as CA were faint on 40m. Operated portable after Oct 3 PA SET drill ?Keystone Horizons? ended.

No contact made on 40m with same antenna and loading coil as CA were faint on 40m. Operating portable and remote you count on the big gun CA stations to do the heavy lifting with their antenna to grab weak signal like mine, THX to all operators for taking the extra time complete weak station QSO. AB1A 73.
AB2TC: Good contest as always in spite of poor condition. Brief 15m opening did help.
AB3GS: It was exciting to contact people in California from Maryland. My first time. I enjoyed the professionalism and friendly remarks. Thank you for continuing it this year. I plan on participating again next year. 73
AB6ET: Conejo Valley ARC not on the list but it has been in the past.
AC4G: Most of my effort was search and pounce, but lots of activity due to the number of CA stations operating. Was able to work a few CA on 15m CW/SSB for a short opening Sunday afternoon as I checked the bands many times to find any openings on 10m/15m. Wish I had stayed awake operating later Saturday night to get a few more 80m QSOs in the log. Did not hear any 160m CA stations in the time I was awake Saturday night. Nothing on 160m Sunday morning. I ran LOW power category and sometimes had to call many times since I was not able to overcome the high power gurus. Lacked 5 stations from having a clean county sweep. I am hoping to make more of an effort in coming years. Thanks CA folks for hosting this party and all of the QSOs - this was fun, but might have been better if propagation had been there on high bands.
AC6YY: I submit "check Log" only.
AC6ZM: Great participation from California stations. Missed the clean sweep but I was not disappointed with my result.
AC8JF: Plenty of weak-ish signals found, but not a great day for 100 watts and a wire.
AD3F: I spent an hour and a half in the contest over two days on a single band. The adrenaline was pumping and I enjoyed the time. I stopped on the first day when the grand kids came for a visit in the afternoon.
AD6NR: Sorry for resubmittal! I forgot to include our club ID
AE1T: Always fun. Worked the three Cal counties I was missing and now have all of them! 73 de Peter, AE1T
AE6BH: Unfortunately I neglected to record incoming or outgoing QSO county or serial numbers.Sorry about that, I'll up my CQP logging etiquette next year. County or serial numbers.

AE6JV: I was surprised at how good 15M was and disappointed by 80M.
AF1R: Only operated for 2 hours to try out my new 20M hamstick on my car
AF6RT: Not sure what category the SF Club has chosen this year.
AF6TF: McClure Point Campground, Used EFHW-8010 and HexBeam antennas with KX3, PX3, HLA-300+ & AT-600Proii as station It was hot and very smoky even in my tent. I hope my efforts gave many a clean sweep of the counties.
AF8A: Band condx were not very good. Most CA stations were S2 to S7 here in NE Ohio, no matter what the band. Thank goodness for sharp, sensitive receivers, DSP and ops with good ears!
AI6IN: Panic set in when the magic smoke got out. Got the new PS just in time! Missed last year; almost missed this year when magic smoke left PS.Had a blast. Thanks!
AI6O: Thanks for the best contest bar none! 73
AJ1DM: Fun time. 73 to all.
AJ6CL: My club is Conejo Valley ARC
AJ6T: Nice to operate CQP from out of state. Ran just a barefoot K3 and all-band OCF dipole. Enjoyed running into some old friends from CA. Nice to operate CQP from out of state. Ran just a barefoot K3 andall-band OCF dipole. Enjoyed running into some old friends from CA.
AK5R: Patio portable, battery powered FT 817nd, dipole hung in tree in back yard. Many thanks to all the California OPS, great job, enjoyed it!
DL3DXX: California QSO party belongs to the "big parties". Thatswhy I expected to makeat least 100 QSOs or more. The party started with a huge number of Californianstations on 20m CW. But after about a hour or so the band closed.How bad must propagation be that 1/3 of the stations called answered my callwith countinuous CQ ? Or is it the increasing man made noise in the cities ?40m was hopeless to break through the calling US stations even a good numberof W6??s could be heard. The "Golden ears" award goes to K6S and K6Q forhearing my weak signal through the US curtain. Soon after I gave up for the night.Worked a few stations on Sunday between 14 and 16z but when the signals disapperedagain it was the end of the QSO party for me.
DL4JLM: Bad conditions in sun spot minimum. Hope it will be better next year.
EA4MY: Always glad to work California stations. I'm WACC Award holder #19 back in July 2000Best 73Antonio, EA4MY/ WT6AA
EA5KO: FT 757GX ,100 W , Moxon . Nice to be here with you , enjoyed. Thanks , 73s de Antal - EA5KO
G3WGN: Great to have good conditions so that I could work all these California stations from G. Thanks for all the Qs.
: I enjoyed this CQP Thank you very much.
K0MD: 20 meter only operation. Enjoyed working so many Ca stations. Thanks for the runs on 20 on Saturday. Some video posted of N6HC running on Sunday on Instagram
K0PIG: Used N1MM+ Logger. Not sure how to fix the "errors".
K0TC: Very enjoyable QSO party. On Sunday afternoon, conditions were very good on 20M. I hope everyone stayed safe with regard to the wildfires.
K0WRY: Great contest. Tnx for sponsoring.73Kent, K0WRY
K1AR: Check Log Only -- K6MM
K1ARR: Enjoyed the CAQP
K1DJ: Always a pleasure to work ops in my home state of CA!
K1GQ: SkookumLogger K3S KPA1500 OB40-2 2XA-3B-12L wires
K1LOK: I made contact with 33/58 counties. It was fun. See you next year.
K1TH: Had many great clients in the state over the years and visited many times. So, just a minor effort, but wanted CA ops to know that we are praying for them during this fire season. Stay safe!
K2KR: Another fun CA QSO party I hope to do better next year.
K2SX: Once again I repeat my plea to make it possible to enter by mode as well as power levels, e.g. CW only, SSB only. There are a lot of CW only entries and we lose out because there is no mode entry. Also, no problem working the SEQUOIA letters but what do I do with the left-over ones, e.g. "F", "G", "M", etc.? TNX for holding the contest even under distres situation. Nice to have 15M open on Sun but still no 10M. Maybe next year will be better.
K2TV: Was only able to enter for a few hours, but great fun.
K2YY: N6DE 10/27 comments: resubmitting with appropriate XXXX and 9999.
K2ZR: Always a FB QSO Party.73,Dick, K2ZR

K4ORD: Always enjoy the CA QP, nice to have 15M open a bit on Saturday and much better on Sunday.Take Care All, 73 Riley, K4ORD
K4REB: I always enjoy the CA QSO Party every year
K4RFK: Only had a short time to play at the contest but lots of Cal Stations out there!
K4RUM: Please note the the correct name for our club is Hudson Valley Contesters and DXers.
K4SBZ: Nearly as much activity at times as a major contest. Many pileups. However, propagation between Florida and California was poor and most stations were weak.
K4SO: Thanks to the organizers. Many big signals and great ops.
K4VBM: The bands were quite noisy - really bad at times, and the QSB was also bad making phone QSOs difficult at best. But there were some good times that helped. I actually got one less multiplier than last year - I heard some mults on 20m SSB but they couldn't hear me. Made quite a few more QSOs this year in spite of the band condx. Heard HI and AK working. CW was the money mode due to conditions, but I did make a decent number of Phone contacts on 20m. I managed to spell 'SEQUOIA' and snagged quite a few of the 1x1 stations. Checked 15m and 10m a few times, but totally dead bands. Heard many familiar calls working the CA stations. My best score ever for this one.Great fun as always!
K5HEM: Great contest - lots of action on 20m from TX but 40M was disappointing - had good luck breaking the pile-ups, but typical weak ears at this end.
K5KDG: N6DE 10/27 comment: resubmitted with 9999 for several serial numbers.

K5NB: CHECK LOG - DATA SENT PER K6MN REQUEST ONLY
K5TR: Another great CQP - Thanks
K6A: This was another collaborative effort amongst the OP'swho normally sign as NX6T from the Fallbrook QTH 900' ASL.Except for the usual onsite appearance of K4RB on Sundaymorning, the entire operation was run remotely by remoteoperators. Radio: K3S into Expert-2K amplifier into a C-31 yagi for the high bands, Shorty-40 and InvertedVees for 80 & 160.A number of writeups were done about this event including:http://WQ6X.Info/CQP/CQP2020/index.htmlhttp://Cqp.org/seq/seq-K6A.htmlhttp://WQ6X.Blogspot.com
K6ARC: BBQ + QSOs
K6BBQ: I'd like to send a photo in from my CQP operating.
K6C: This was another WQ6X Dual-operation from W7AYT's QTH as K6C,as well as part-time (4 hours) from K6A remotely (@NX6T) from Fallbrook.Before CQP I did a revamp of the vertical system @W7AYT. Adding counterpoise wires (radials) made a HUGE difference.Upper band conditions pretty much SUCKED but I gave it a try anyway.For this contest I turned on the Contest Online score reporting togive others a chance to track how K6C was doing.Read more about this GiG at:http://WQ6X.Info/CQP/CQP2020/index.htmlhttp://WQ6X.Blogspot.com This was another WQ6X Dual-operation from W7AYT's QTH as K6C,as well as part-time (4 hours) from K6A remotely (@NX6T) from Fallbrook.Before CQP I did a revamp of the vertical system @W7AYT.Adding counterpoise wires (radials) made a HUGE difference.Upper band conditions pretty much SUCKED but I gave it a try anyway.For this contest I turned on the Contest Online score reporting togive others a chance to track how K6C was doing.Read more about this GiG at:http://WQ6X.Info/CQP/CQP2020/index.htmlhttp://WQ6X.Blogspot.com
K6EL: Surprize runs on 15 CW & SSB, No Saturday due to SOTA event.
K6FA: Well after deleting a contact and then deleting part of a call I finally figured out a system to us since I am not great at typing. Just coping typing and remember which button to push was just a little to much. Had a great time and want to thank all those who copied my QRP signal. Using a K2 and beam or vertical on CW only.
K6G: Camped 2 nights in Siskiyou Mtns near Donomore Meadows. TS590SG, 50-100w with OCF and EFHW. A lot of fun Had fun, thanks! de AG7GP
K6GHA: A humbling experience. Did better than most years. But felt like I wasn't at the top of my game. Dog had to go to the hospital, lost a bit of focus after that.Fun while running, thanks for all the support KB's and Q's. Missed NT for Sweep of states, and only 45 counties.Better luck next year. ;-)
K6GPB: Unable to get the I for SEQUOIA, got the rest. Heard the I calling but my QRP apparently did not reach him. Oh well! Next Year!
K6KM: Northern California Contest Club
K6ME: N6DE 10/27 comments: uploaded update for K6ME log based off of conversion from ADIF. This is because NS6T said the Cabrillo that was earlier in place for K6ME was missing all the received QTH. But rx QTH was all in ADIF that K6ME sent prior to submission deadline, so this update should be the fixed log.
K6MTU: Remote operation.In this time of no DXpeditions it is refreshing to beat the sharp end of a pileup.Many thanks to the ops who let me know of my QSK problems at the starting bell. Hats off to the K6MTU crew, especially to Kevin, K6TD, who conceive, build, and maintainthis great station atop radio-quiet Mt. Umunhum.
K6O: OP/Station: N6IE
K6PB: Second submission. Changed the entry class to Single-op-assisted.
K6PO: First time in the CQP for me and had a great time. 80 and 160 were nice and quiet, in fact I had my best rate on 80. 15 was poor, 10 a no-show here.IC-7300, AH-4, 100 feet of wire.Thanks for the Q's! 73, Paul K6PO
K6PUD: Band conditions were very difficult, big props to all stations that pulled our peanut-whistle signal out of the noise.
K6RB: First opportunity to test out new antenna system. It worked.
K6RM: Fun as usual but QRP with my attic antennas was more challenging than I anticipated. Only gripe is hearing (usually CA) stations asked for a repeat MANY (4+) times and failing to slow down their responding cw speed. Thanks for the Q's, I KNOW you had to earn them with my peanut-whistle sig!
K6RO: My first CQP since 2000. Is there a comeback award :)Thanks for putting on this great contest,Larry K6RO
K6VO: I was planning to operate CQP locally at my remote station in theCalifornia high desert, but ended up driving home before the contest as I was feeling poorly. Worked the whole thing remotely with many breaks. I managed to do better than my single op tries in the previous 2 years, I expect because conditions were good and activity was high. Tried operating a little SSB, but its too hard to run stations with my particular setup on SSB. Had several great CW runs. No one from North Dakota or NT, so I missed 2 multipliers.I hear I have a chirp on 80m, thats new. Using a K3, will have to look into it.Great contest, lots of activity, with some big QSO counts from stations outside of California too. Thanks for the contacts. dana

K6WRP: I accidentally did not record the contact number from the contacts I made.
K6WSC/7: First year in four I was not on a CQP California County Expedition. My contesting heart and mind were in CA though. Next year.Thanks to all the hams who make the great CQP happen!73, Bill K6WSC
K7GA: Just for fun - mostly CW on 80/40 trap vee
K7JA/6: First time I've actually made some effort in this one--lots of activity, but 20 Phone definitely is no place for low power! Missed VY1CO early, it seems. Enjoyed my first outing in CQP after all these years of living here. Put up sloping wires for 40 and 80 the day before the contest, and they worked well enough to give my tribander a break at night. I even worked a few dozen Qs on 160 using the 80-meter wire! Too bad I missed VY1CO when he was on early, but other mults came through OK.
K7NG: Tried harder but scored lower this year. I'll blame it on conditions...
K7NWR: Always a challenge and always fun. Having been born and raised in California, it's a type of homecoming.
K7OJL: First timer. Could only work one band because 20m skipped over me! Enjoyed the contest ... very few CW operators calling CQ at less than 30+ wpm. Could only work 40m as 20m skipped right over me.
K7SS: Thanks for the fun !de K7SS
K7SV: Another terrific CQP!
K8BZ: For some reason my log went back to sending Sr No 230 at contact number 271. I don't know why.
K8MRT: Best effort on my part since I began looking forward to this contest. Favorite QSO by far. 73 K8MRT (Karl)
K8TE: ?It was the best of times, it was the worst of times?? It was the California QSO Party, 2020 version. Hoping for lots and lots of contacts, I was surprised how dupes quickly filled the bandmap! I was expecting to find a lot more activity than I did. On Saturday morning, there were too few stations to work on 40m and the same on 20m. NM is in between the two skip zones as noted by KA6BIM in OR on Sunday as he lamented similarly. When 20m opened up from NM to CA, the bandmap got a lot livelier! The same was true as the afternoon wore on and them 80m opened up. Still, after a 30-minute sweep through any band, it was slim pickings. I thought much of CA was stuck at home. I hope it gets better for you guys and the rest of us! For this event, fewer non-CA ops answered my ?CQ CA? calls than similar calls in previous parties this year. Three ops answered my last-minute attempt to work AA6W, my last contact. I sent his call four times and others still kept calling. Then he faded away and the others left. Patiently, Don returned and we squeezed out the contact. Unfortunately, I could have worked the other callers if they had only listened! For the CA ops, please learn and use your four-letter county abbreviations on SSB! I didn?t operate the entire contest as I got bored with no new stations to work and no responses to my CQ?s. It was fun (the best of times) while it lasted. Getting SEQUOIA was easy and the many 1x1?s were abundant and, like Chicken Man, everywhere. Now, if only you could get the rest of the CA HF ops to participate? 73, Bill, K8TE, K3/KPA1500, low dipoles CQP 2020?It was the best of times, it was the worst of times??

K9JM: Doing finish electrical on remodel... will move back a few days from CQP. Only operated a couple of hours. Thanks for the Q's
K9NW: Good to be back!
K9RZ: CQP is a fun contest! But conditions were somewhat less than ideal - tough to contact southern CA from Arizona.
K9ZO: Always enjoyable to work the folks out west!
KA0PQW: Fun contest thanks for the reminder email. 73 Matt ka0pqw fun contese thanks for having it
KA3TTT: I had QRP fun from PA! I had QRP fun from PA!
KA6BIM: Can we move CA a little farther away? It is just too darned close for 10-20 mtrs. When the Oceania DX contest ended I went to the low bands and was able to work the few stations that were still up to midnight, On Saturday mid dayI worked 200 stations on 40 SSB. On Su day. I started out with 40, ran out of stations then went to 20 to beat my head against the wall. Managed a few cw stations and fewer SSB. Went back to 40 and finished the contest. Ended up just ahead of last year.
KB0KFH: N6DE 10/27 afternoon comments:Updated power from QRP to Low. KB0KFH sent correction to N6DE in email stating that XML did not show correct power earlier.

KG5ZQ: N6DE converted ADIF.
KG6BXW: Had a lot of fun this was my first serious HF contest. The only other contests I've seriously done are the VHF contests as a rover station. I would have applied for the New Contester award but I fell short of the required 100 contacts. My station is a Yaesu FT-891 and a 132ft EFHW at about 50 feet.
KG6LWE: Think I have it right this time. QSO #48 is empty because I missed that one when manually incrementing serial numbers.

KK0U: Ah, the CQP. Ah, the CQP. Conditions seemed abysmal, but I had fun.
KK6L: I played around for about 12 hours, with a few breaks in between. It was a good test of the new station at my parents' house, but not quite up to snuff. The shack computer interface also crashed a couple times, and I had a sticky Rigblaster relay that kept acting up. Overall, an okay time. KB!
: had a great time. Thanks to all who helped organize this.
KM4HI: Enjoyed the contest and FB participation from CA ops.
KM4QE: Noisy band and QSB but I enjoyed it anyway.
KM4RO: Seems like fewer stations on. Did the fires cause that?
KM6LYW: date/time/band are estimates. serial/call/state is hard data
KM6TVJ: FUN CONTEST!

KN6IZX: I believe the error code is correct, as I seem to remember noting the time as I entered it from my written log.
KN6XU: I competed in this contest once back in the 90's but never submitted a log that I can recall. I was absent from the hobby for about 20 years until a few months ago when I purchased a 2nd hand TS-940, put up a 40M horizontal Delta Loop at about 15 feet and a G5RV at about the same height in preparation for the CQP. I missed making the 100 QSO requirement for the "New Contester" award but that's ok. I had the best time I've had in years! Not bad for an old man with low antennas, low power, and over 20 years away from the hobby. Many thanks to all the OP's that make this event happen! Looking forward to next year!
KR2Q: Thanks for the reminder to send in my log. I didn't even remember making any QSOs.
KU6W: Multi-County Expedition SBEN and SCRUK9YC Operator
KV0I: My first entry since the late 1980's. Still the best State QSO Party.
KV8Q: Too many other committments to put in a bigger effort. Nice to be able to work a few in the minimal amount of time that I had. Thanks - 73 tom Rig = TenTec Eagle @ 100 Watts Antenna = Mag Loop (40 thru 15) and an Isotron-80 in attic 12' above garage floor and an indoor 10 meter dipole.

KW6S: Last half hour only. Last Half hour only. Full effort planned, maybe next year
N0CS: Lots of good sounding stations in CA. Thank you to the organizers for a great event! There were a lot of great sounding CA stations here in Kansas!
N0TA: Need more coverage in DELN, GLEN, KING, MERC, and TEHA.
N0UY: only worked on and off between family commitments but used the time to brush up on my cw skills. I haven't operated since ARRL Field Day. thank you for the fun.
N0VLR: was trying out club tower-trailer in driveway with 2 element tri-band beam, up 34'
N0YH: I am a new Ham having received my Tech back in Dec 2019, later upgrading to Extra but this is my first CAQP contest so I selected New Contester. Please change if that is incorrect.
N1DC: Thanks for a great QSO Party !
N1NN: 15TH CALIFORNIA QSO PARTY
N2YIB: Great QSO Party. All California operators I worked were courteous and pleasant. I am looking forward to next year's CQP.
N3KA: Multi County Rover operation Picked up a new puppy in southern california and roved the entire way home. Voice recorder broke after 5 qso's, thankfully rig has one built in for backup. I kept loosing my counter paper so I had quite a few dupe numbers issued, thats on me, not them :)-73 kevinAmazing time, can't wait for next year!
N3XLS: Check Log did not log exchanges or serial numbers was just have fun.
N4GG: Worked tis one the old fashioned way (partly), TX: DX-40 and VF-1.If you heard a little VFO swishing, like the old days, that was me!
N4KS: Thank you NCCC for an excellent QP!
N5II: Great QSO partyBill
N5RZ: Good activity. Sunspots someday maybe! Thanks for the QSO's.
N5UJ: Operated Multi-Single with my 8 year old son who worked a few QSO's and logged contacts while observing the CW decode on the screen. My 8 year old son, Max (3rd grade, no callsign) got in on the action by logging a few q's by observing the CW decode on the screen of the FTDX-101MP and knowing when to send the exchange and log the QSO with a little help from Dad!
N5YJZ: With correct call signed use (N5YJZ/6)
N6A: Thanks to N6XI for the generous use of his wonderful station.
N6AN: A last minute physical distancing QRP portable county expedition. KX3 @5 watts, 59' wire between two 20' fishing poles, 80' wire between 30' and 20' poles. Pen and paper logging. Except for CQmessage all CW was hand sent with the bolt-on KXPD3 paddle.My thanks to Kurt, W6PH, for the use of his Inyo county cabingrounds for my station. I had a wonderful view of Mt. Whitney andsurrounding range from my patio table operating position.Mults never heard were KY, IA, ND, MR, AB, NT. I did copy a VE2answering somebody's CQ, a VA7 was in a rag chew and W1XX was CQingon 20 SSB Sunday afternoon but couldn't hear me. Working the singleletter CA stations for the SEQUOIA award was accomplished on 80. 40was too long Saturday night and I was inaudible to CA stations on20 and 15.QSO #44 with K9NW may not be complete. It was not clear he copiedmy exchange. QSO #186 was first sent to K3UA (80 meters!) and I copied hisexchange. But the timing seemed off and I thought he might beworking someone else despite my frequency being clear. So I gave#186 to the next station that called, N6MA. Not the best spur ofthe moment decision in hind sight. Phil did hear me! I was thinkingmy 5 watts and low wire couldn't be making it to PA on 80!Though I spent a long time transcribing an accurate log there maystill be errors. Apologies to anyone who loses points for any ofmy errors.Thanks to the CQP organizers for another great QSO party! My thanks to Kurt, W6PH, for the use of his Inyo county cabin grounds for my last minute Covid-19 physical distancing county expedition. Operating with Mt. Whitney in view was a wonderful bonus!The station was a KX3 @5 watts powered by a 27T AGM battery which used to live in a TV ENG truck. 80' of wire was stretched between a 30' Spiderbeam pole and a 20' fishing pole for 80 meters. For 40, 20 and 15 meters a 59' wire was supported by two 20' fishing poles.Both antennas were end fed via a double banana to BNC connector and tuned with the KX3 tuner.I set up on an outdoor table with a beach umbrella for shade. It was in the 90s and windy both days, low 60s Saturday night.I never heard KY, IA, ND, MR, AB, NT. A VE2 answered somebody's CQ, a VA7 was in a rag chew and W1XX was CQing on 20 SSB Sunday afternoon, but couldn't hear me. Working the single letter CA stations for the SEQUOIA award was accomplished on 80. 40 was too long Saturday night and I was inaudible to CA stations on 20 and 15.It was fun to activate Inyo county on CW. Except for CQs all sending was done with the bolt-on KXPD3 paddle. Logging was with pen and paper, transcription pending.Thanks to the NCCC organizers for pulling off the CQP in this most unusual of years, and thanks for the QSOs.73,David N6AN
N6DVS: The times are approximate. I remember the time range only.
N6FD: Had antenna problems until Sunday morning; was then able to get on in the contest.
N6GHZ: Had a hard time fitting in among all the "big guns" since I was justusing wire dipoles (and probably not in the best orientation). Resorted toS&P operation. 80 and 40 were very noisy. 15 not open. 20 was the good one.But I had a real good time except for getting up at 3 AM Sunday to only make 3contacts from then until 7:30 AM. I'll know better next time. A BIG thanks tothe organizers...
N6GK: Worked from home QTH in Vacaville this year. No CE.
N6GP: Lots of activity this year, and a lot of fun!
N6GWH: first time sending in. Still learning. sorry for any issues with log. not for contest
N6HE: Thanks to the NCCC!
N6JNY: First ever contest.N6DE comments: I helped convert his log file. Resubmitting again with new information that he was running low power.
N6NHI: Manually entered -- e-mail if problems and I'll fix
N6QD: This was my best and most memorable CA QSO Contest yet! I really enjoyed being able to talk to so many people despite the current pandemic! Plus, it served as a nice break from my college applications :)
N6RV: Just a few minutes of fun! A 20 minute blast!
N6SPP: Late Night 80m CW Gets the Counties
N6TVN: Score is for Northern California Contest Club.
N6U: CW only, poor conditions, but lots of activity. Missed ND and VY1.
N6VOH: Had a geat with this contest. Running a simple station.
N6WM: maybe SO comeback recognition :-). thanks Dean, Tom and team for doing another great job!
N6YEU: There will be two qsos logged by other stations who will show N6YEU in their log but not mine.Both were in MT and got my exchange but due to operator error on my part both were accidentally deleted. I tried to make a note on the qso numbers but seem to have misplaced it. I hope they get credit.
N6ZT: First try at contest, N1mm and submitting log. Sorry if i messed anything up.
N7ILO: Log submitted by K6MM after minor corrections.
N7MZW: My N3FJP software for this event is indicating 8.5 hours of Op time, which I agree with. I don't know why the cabrillo log checking "Robot" is not liking that bit of data, so will let you folks figure it out, if relevant. I did notice, (and I removed) the period that was appearing directly following the WY in the LOCATION: header line. Please note that I worked the following stations for "SEQUOIA": K6S,W6S,N6S,K6E,W6E,K6Q,N6Q,W6U,K6U,K6O,N6O,N6I,W6I,N6A,K6A, and W6A. 73, N7MZW
N7RD: Was much fun, thank you for the Q's.
N7SU: Great fun. Thanks and 73!
N7TP: Found Alpine and Butte this year. Still four counties missing, tho I heard at least two of them. Where does everyone go after midnite on Saturday?
N7VS: Thank you for hosting an interesting. Having lived in California for many years I have always enjoyed this one. Perhaps someday I can do another expedition. I especially enjoyed looking for "Sequoia" stations during the contest. Conditions on 20 meters were not good. Made only one contact on that band and none on 15 or 10. I hope to be back next year. Hopefully band conditions will be better.73,Steve Brandt N7VS
N7WY: FTdx-101mp, 5 el yagi on 20m, 2 el yagi on 20m, inverted vee on 80m. N1MM logger+.
N8BJQ: Pretty good conditions on 20, 40 and 80. 15 opened about an hour a day here. It went from no signals to good signals in a couple of minutes and then stayed open for about an hour and went to no signals. Same on Sunday. Thanks to the mobiles for the mults.
N8II: Best condx I can remember on 40 and 80. 15 was wide open 1640-1845Z Sunday. 20 was a bit rough, signals dropped early Saturday, opened slowly Sunday. My last new mult was before 20M closed Saturday, no new mults on low bands or Sunday.
N8VWY: IC-7100, END WIRE, VIBROPLEX SINGLE PADDLE. TU ALL GL 73.
N9UA: What happened to 15M
NA6MB: Poor CDX here. Never heard 15m. 40m noisier than normal?
NC3Y: This is my favorite contest before the Sweepstakes to make sure all the bugs are worked out of my station! If I can get right through to California then I know all is well.
NC6K: Well, this beat my previous record by 25%, but it's noteven likely to get me a bottle of wine this year. Thecompetition has become brutal here, so personal records areabout all I can hope for with one SteppIR and wire antennasfor everything else, including the 2nd SO2Rradio.Conditions were fantastic onthe open bands - low noise, fairly steady signals andplenty of room even on SSB. 15 M wasn't open much, butthere were some short periods where the East Coast was inand loud. I could not find ND and NTunassisted, so settled for 56 mults, but I can't complain.I must have worked every New England state at least fivetimes, which again is a record for me. Even DE was easy toget multiple times.Thanks to all forthe Qs and see you again next year!73de NC6K
NC6V: Fun contest again, thank you to everyone that contacted me. I can't wait until next year's contest.
ND0C: Good activity but didn't hear 11 counties in the 7 hours I was on. Was fun to get back into the CQP - I've missed several of the last few years due to family activities/events. Good activity but I was really hurting on counties - just heard (and worked) 47 counties.
NE6DX: op. NT6X
NE6O: Band conditions were poor, but worked all stations called.CQWIN ver.12.7 insisted it was 2000, edited by hand to 2020.
NF8M: Note to log checker: I inadvertently sent serial number 23 twice. I worked W6S, then checked them off my checklist and tuned the rig without logging the QSO (N1MM cleared the QSO data), then went on and worked W6I and gave him the same number.
NG7Z: Just worked 40 and 80. Nothing heard on 20 or above. Too close. Thanks for organizing this popular contest.
NK4O: Lots more stations than expected, and didn't have time.... Next time I'll add to the calendar and try to work all CA counties! -Tnx
NL7WA: Been off the air since 1997 and just now getting back into the hobby and my first contest in many years. Thanks for the assist with the fill in list for the contacts as I don't have any logging software as yet. Will do it again next year and hope to do better. Don't think I will win any awards but I did try to get as many as I could! Thanks much. 73's John / NL7WA...Retired U.S. Coast Guard...Communications Officer...need to catch up....
NM5M: Had fun see you next year!
NM6G: First time back on the air in at least 5 years and maybe 10 for a contest. Fun time despite the humbling experience of 100 watts and s T2FD dipole at 25' even if it IS a fairly rare county.But, I worked out the bugs for using the Icom RS-BA1/RC-28 along with WriteLog remote in preperation for getting the station operational. SSB would be a LOT easier if everybody would give the four letter multiplier for their county. The big surprise is more CW then SSB when my declaration was SSB! S&P worked for me.I gave up around midnight (7:00 UTC) and woke some thing woke me up about 4 hours later. Turned out Murphy bit with a power failure at 10:20 UTC that lasted 8+ hours. The operating position in the house is on a UPS and then automatic whole house generator moments later, but the station is manual transfer. The remote Icom and WriteLog servers were not happy with a dirty disconnect and instead of my waking up and sitting back in the saddle for an easy ride with a cup of coffee, it was off to busting broncos! But it was a good shakedown. Sorry for the paltry Q total.
NN4K: The California Qso Party is always fun with many participants. Great CW operators. Thanks for the contacts.
NO2C: Great Contest
NP2X: Surprised more SSB stations did not use phonetics for county abbreviations. I had to ask for clarification on about 20% of the SSB stations I worked. If I was running in CQP from CA, I would this consider this an impediment as it slows down the QSO rate. In many instances, the number of syllables in the county phonetics is almost as long as saying the county name itself. Maybe the are doing this to try and attract more attention from the CQP county sweep hunters. - NP2X
NQ6X: Was waiting for Ventura County Amateur Radio Society to be available as club entry then missed date. You can use as a check log still.
NS2N: I still need Humboldt and Napa for all-time 40m counties !
NS7U: Fun contest, worked around other commitments to operate when feasible.
NU1O: Great CQP as always!73,Chris NU1O
NU6N: Tried ~14 wpm, 20 wpm and ~25 wpm. Results are inconclusive but it seems there are audiences for all three.
NV1N: My favorite State QSO party.
NV6C: HAD A S9+10 NOISE LEVEL HAD AN S9+10 NOISE LEVEL ALL WEEKEND.
NV9L: 257th line is from W4FLL who was out of state. He sent me an email last night that he didn't know it was for CA only; even though I was CQing for CA only. Of course he is from Nevada. So, I unknowingly logged it thinking he was in Nevada county. I tried putting the X at the beginning of his Cabrillo line, but your log portal didn't like that. I would've removed it, but wasn't sure if allowed. Plus you'd see a skip in s/n. :) ~ Val
OM2VL: From the beginning of the QP the band was full of W6 stations with some weak and some really nice signals. It was so hard job the break the USA pileup especially on SSB and many times when nobody called the W6's they're don't heard me. I lost so many time with calling and missed so many stations who I heard. At 19:22Z closed the band to the West Coast but at 20:45 opened again and I made 2 QSO. On the band was again so many strong stations a called more than 1 hour them but no any QSO ... :( 2nd day my first QSO was at 13:57Z and at the beginning again many excellent signals. From 17:10 till 18:06Z again no any QSO and my last QSO was at 19:13Z. I don't wait till the and and maybe missed some QSOs. I heard and called another multipliers: ALPI ,DELN, KING, LASS, PLUM, SISK, VENT but no luck ... K6G I called so many and long time on SSB but he don't heard me. W6CQP I called maybe 2-3 hours totally, but no luck even when any other station don't called him. Usually in all QP I heard in the pileups John N6MU, but this time he missed from my LOG :( K6AQL/M was not strong but usually when USA wall dropped down back to me to my 1st call - FB ears. We made 9 QSO! Thanks! 3 another time I heard and called, but no luck. 4 QSO with W6S, and 21 x 3 QSO. 1 x 1 stations did excellent job - 56 QSO in my LOG! Thanks for the QSO's and organizing this nice QP with so many stations! Please your QSLs for my Awards! 73, Laci OM2VL From the beginning of the QP the band was full of W6 stations with some weak and some really nice signals.

VA3MYC: Despite the doom and gloom forecasts I was pleased to work a couple of California stations at only 5 watts.
VA7QCE: First time on California QSO Party. Sorry that I did not mention club name prior to the start of the contest.... Will do that next time.Carole VA7QCE
VE2FK: Not easy with such propagation, good signals but many very very weak.
VE3DQN: Tough slugging this time out in eastern Ontario. The worst conditions of the past half dozen CQP's I've entered. Need only Butte county to complete all counties, but never heard a peep from Butte.
VE3EL: Please note-Due to my Computer Virus 'messing' up the beginning of the Contest...The 'FIRST' EIGHT contacts are NOT in the correct time. They were made on Saturday between....16:43 and 20;27 and then things went Kaflooey!! :) :) After SEVERAL Hours of a Professional helper, The old Virus protector was made and n updated one installed! Although screwed up at this end, it was a great Contest.....despite being short!! :) The 8 stations are correct though!! Many Thanks............ VE3EL
VE3FH: A CW-only category would be nice :|
VE3GFN: Man, that was hard work! One Q on 15M, a struggle for many of my 20M Qs, not much to be heard on 80M, and 40M CW never much took off.
VE3HX: CQP is one of my favorite contests
VE3KIU: LOADS OF FUN
VE3SB: favorite contest
VE3TW: Thanks for another great contest!
VE3UTT: K3 / Optibeam REMOTEConditions were rough here with generally weak signals. Didn't realize there was no CW only class otherwise my score would have been much higher.K6AQL did a magnificent job mobile despite what must be rough driving with allof the fire activity. Hope all were safe.
VE3UZ: We are husband and wife team and as such we are compliant with our gov't COVID-19 rules We are husband and wife team,and as such, are compliant with our gov't COVID-19 rules
VE3XD: 50 watts into attic antennas
VE3YT: Thanks for organizing such a fun QP each year. Best 73, Vic VE3YT
VE4XT: Great fun from the cottage!
VE4YH: We didn't know how to log a qso on a county line.K6T 2345x 14.047.9 CW - TEHA / GLENCan you help confirm that we receive credit for both as they were both mults for us.Thanks, Gary VE4YH
VE5GC: 20 was good, didn't hear much on 15 ot 10.
VE5KS: strong and weak signals at the same time, quite a challenge at times
VE7ATJ: Sorry, I did not know I needed to record received serial #. I'mcopying this off a hardcopy log. My apologies.
VE7DX: HAD FUN WHAT TIME I HAD AVAILABLE 1ST ENTRY EVER !! WILL DEFINATELY PARTICIPATE AGAIN
VE7RSV: Had better luck on the low bands this year, couldn't hear hardly anystations on 20 metres this time around. One of my favorite contests.
VE8GER: Band conditions were just horrible up here in the VE8 land!! I tried but no takers .... :( !
VE9WRS: FT-857D 100w endfeed long wire 9:1 match box 20 ft at feed point

W1CTN: Always a fabulous event.Lots of easy mults and the rare ones that make it a "Where's Waldo" search. This was my last CQP from Connecticut.Not my personal best this year, but pretty close with 10 hrs on BIC "Butt In Chair"Next CQP will be from our new home in North Carolina.I might give up the big DX contests in the future, but I'll never will stop operating CQP.
W1END: Rig was FTdx5000 and Butternut vertical. Great activity this year. Didn't expect so many qso's.
W1FJ: GOOD ACTIVITY HAD FUN! THANKS
W1JQ: Great contest as usual!
W1NN: I love this event. Reminds me of my mobile effort in the CQP back in the 1990s (I was K8HVT then).I didn't realize that there was no CW or SSB category or single band categories. I realize it's more work, but it sure makes the contest more fun for the out-of-state ops.
W1NVT: Park on the Air operation.
W1QK: Thank you for sponsoring the contest. Thanks for sponsoring the contest.
W1RM: Nice to work some old friends.
W1WIU: Another great year. Thanks to K6BRY for Alpine County. Most asctivity on 20 and 40 meters. See you next year. Thanks for another great year ! Congrats. to the organizers. Thanks to Bryan, K6BRY for Alpine county. See you next year.

W3HDH: Oh do I miss 10 and 15 meters as usually that is where I spend my Sundays BUT not this year. Great turnout however despite the fires!
W3TAS: Fun contest, 73.
W3TNU: Let me point out that the sample of the Cabrillo log shown on your "Log Submission" website is wrong. I followed that and got the order of sent and receive information backward. Ask Tom Epperly.
W4KW: Nice Contest as usual. Tnx for the contacts.73's,W4KWBert
W4PM: Limited time portable operation from ESSEX County VA.
W4SPR: Enjoyable contest! 73, W4SPR

W4VIC: Thanks for the Qs. Vic, W4VIC
W4WF: Visiting my parents this weekend unexpectedly, so took the opportunity to operate a little CQP from my dad's station Operated while visiting my parents in NC
W5HRP: This was my first California QSO Party, and I worked more two-thirds of my contacts while mobile!
W5LA: Enjoyed a great number of stations on CW.
W5TM: Thanks for all the effort involved in putting on the California QSO Party it's one of the best.
W5TTE: Would suggest adding digital to the contest.
W5XX: N6DE 10/29 comments: I transcribed this log from paper format. Paper log was postmarked prior to log deadline.
W6BG: Did not expect much from the current setup. My vertical in the backyard neverperformed well. Nevertheless, I managed to even have a QSO with Connecticut. 1st timeever!So, I am vastly satisfied with my score!
W6BRY: We had fun!! Thanks Dean.
W6BS: 2nd year for CQP.
W6BZY: A few entries have wrong numbers, I was confused about what number to put in. Later got it straight.Ken
W6DOJ: We operated multi multi low power from NEVA with two stations and four operatorspart time using solar power, batteries and onesmall generator from an elevation of 5000 feet in the Tahoe National Forestusing restored four element KLM beams for 40M and 20M and an inverted Vee wireantenna supported by tall pine trees for 80M. Our Nevada County CQP location ismore than 2 miles from any paved roads and there is no commercial/publicelectric power or water for many miles from our location. Lots of fun and we allenjoyed providing CQP contacts from NEVA .
W6EK: Everyone had an absolute blast! Thank you for hosting a great contest!! AI6JB
W6IA: 1/2 to West Valley ARA; 1/2 to WWDXC
W6KJ: Had a late start. All kinds of equipment problems. Barely made a fourth of the contacts intended. Still had
W6KME: We pre-entered, but I don't see our club on the list. I entered it into Other Club.
W6KSR: My first contest! 73
W6LEN: It was fun, but I learned that this old man just can't hack the long hours as before. Great condiitions. 100 watts and a vertical. Took a break every 50 contacts and fnally hit the sack when I reached 150. .
W6LFB: N6DE converted log from .DOC format.
W6ML: Mono County Expedition W6ML (W6KC Operator)Fortunately, the smoke from the California fires let up on the Wednesday before CQP so I could launch my wire antennas in the mostly clear blue skies in Mammoth Lakes, Mono County. This year again I used dipoles for 40, 20 and 15 plus an inverted V for 80. They were all squeezed in at about 60ft between my two favorite pine trees.In spite of a couple of Murphy visits (RFI in my logging PC and tripping the master circuit breaker causing a power outage during a nice CQP run) I achieved one of my goals in making 1,000 CW QSOs. I have never made 1,000 CW QSOs in any contest so it was good to finally tick off a new milestone.The good participation helped offset missing 10M and most of 15M during the weekend. I missed NT and ND for the sweep, but was happy to achieve good results with a full-time effort minus about two hours for Murphy. And many thanks to the NCCC for sponsoring another great CQP! And also thanks to Hank, W6SX (we are about one-half mile apart in Mammoth) for helping me with my antenna planning and sharing the bands during CQP.K3s, KAT500, AL80B, wire antennas
W6NKR: Good fun! Finally broke 100 QSOs.
W6O: Expedition to IMPERIAL County, CA. It was appropriate for a bunch of Arizona Outlaws to be assigned the call W6O as part of the SEQUOIA event in the 2020 California QSO Party. We were W6Outlaws! We had a crew of good operators and experienced some huge pileups and great QSO Rates for most of the contest except between 0600Z to 1200Z when the East Coasters were sleeping.We operated out of an apartment in Felicity, California which several Geographical Societies have proclaimed to be the Official Center of the World. I would like to thank our hosts Jacques-Andres and Felicia Istel for their great hospitality. If you want a good read, look up Jacques-Andres Istel on Wikipedia. It is truly an amazing story.We had a great time!K3 / KPA1500A3S with 40 meter add-on dipole80 meter inverted VAB-577 (Rocket Launcher) 50 foot Military Surplus Mast
W6Q: Putting together a MM County Operation in 2020 was as rewarding as it was challenging. Now if we could have found those darn Canada mults! Planning a MM County Operation in 2020 was as rewarding as it was challenging. Overall it was 200% fun. If only we could have worked those missing Canadian mults! Thank you NCCC for the honor of hosting W6Q
W6SC: Biggest effort that I've put into CQP. Lots of fun sorting out signal reports, leading zeroes, cut leading zeroes, and other "noise". I hoped nobody would give me their number as 599 but sure enough, somebody did. I had to scramble to get it in there before he started repeating everything. A good time!
W6SFI: Suburban operating can really stink.
W6SFM: Thank you again
W6SMT: first contest lots fun
W6SWT: ARRL section (location) is 6 even though it says this is an error.
W6T: This was my first experience in CQP as an Expedition station. It was a lot of fun. It gave me a newfound appreciation for those who do annual Expeditions to the rare counties. Many thanks to Dean N6DE, Glen W6GJB, and Ken K6MR for their recommendations and for their encouragement.
W6TCP: Exceeded my expectations by a huge margin! Managed a sweep for the first time!Thank you to all the KB'ers for the points! And to the CQP team for anothergreat party!Thanks to Denny KX7M, Oliver W6NV (who was also kind enough to let me loose at his station)!
W6TK: I tried to eliminate confusion between W6 "TK" and W/K/N6 "Q" by inserting extra spacing between "T" and "K" in my call. But then people thought my call was W6T. Anyway - I had about 100 dupes as guys kept calling me back to try to make sure to get the "Q" in their logs. I hope this doesn't screw other guys logs. My effort to help may have not worked so well? Thanks for all you guys and your efforts in CQP! 73 - Dick - W6TKPS -I was able to get the SteppIR working again, but looked like Bill, K6ZFO, had good time with W6I.
W6XB: Lots of FL! Lots of FL!
W7GKF: Great activity! Quite different than contesting from WA. Even with an indoor inv. vee in the attic, the EU's were sometimes overwhelming.
W7WHY: Always fun to work this one after 80 opens up so we can hear the CA stations. Just too close in Coos Bay. 73Tom W7WHy
W7XZ: (NOTE: Due to "cockpit problems" with software, sent two #22s and lost KM4HI's number to me in otherwise good exchange. My #7, subsequently deleted, was QSO of KM4HI, his #12, with another station. My log data contains two known "dupes.")
W8PT: Hope this is correct now.
W8RJL/6: Need a Category Overlay for "Over-80"
W9EW: Check Log Only. Submitted by K6MM on 2-Nov @1749 UTC.

WA3AER: Sunday afternoon operation, all S&P. Had tough time copying some sigs due toQSB and being weak. Mostly enjoyed tracking K6AQL mobile and worked him in 5counties. Glad this ran through Sunday because I was not home on Saturday.Pulled the plug just b4 21Z for dinner. Enjoyable afternoon chasing after CAstations.CA stations w/o 6 in their calls need to ID that they're in CA for the QP!Tnx for the Qs. Sri for the couple of lost contacts due to QSB and also for manyrepeat requests. Hope you had as much fun as I did.
WA4APB: Reviewed by K6MM
WA5LFD: First contest entry ever as QRP, new Icom 705 worked great and QRP added a fun new challenge. Five watts and a fan dipole at 40ft. 73, Rich WA5LFD
WA6BIL: Never trust SCP over your own ears!
WA6DRD: I've operated a few times with the K6Ly club in the past, but this is my first time operating from my home station. didn't make 100 like i wanted, but had fun anyhow.
WA6KHK: Cracked 180K in last minute! Too many dups! Get software programs that check that guys! This one is for you baby...RIP. One year on 10/11/20.

WA7ID: South West Idaho Contest Dx Assoc.

WA8Y: I didn't have much radio time but I enjoyed it just same.
WA8ZNC: First CQP for me. Have always loved contests and this was a very enjoyable one. Sunday mid morning from Washington the activity dropped but came back at the end.
WB0CFF: I wish I had more time to spend on the QSO party.
WB0HHM: My first time for the CA QSO party , enjoyed the QSO party , CA operatorswhere very courteous and made me feel welcome.
WB2FUE: MAYBE NEXT YEAR CONDTIONS WILL BE A LITTLE BETTER.IT WAS A GREAT CONTEST ANYWAY!THANKS TO ALL THE CA OPERATORS!!
WB4OMM: Conditions were pretty good Sat afternoon; but Sunday was a whole 'nother story!Had to call repeatedly to make a QSO - and it looked like there was bad QSB.Thanks to many who stayed with me to make the QSO. Still ha fun! Elecraft KX-3 to 3 Element Tri-Band Mosley; N3ZN paddle, N1MM+ logging software. 73 to all!Steve WB4OMM
WB5OSD: Spoke with Bobby on the phone. (318) 464-5643 He does not have access to the internet, and has NO email address. He snail mailed me his handwritten log which looked fine. Only 37 QSOs. I used the Cab Form to input the data and will submit the log on his behalf. 10/22. 73, John, K6MM

WB6HYH: Always look forward to CQP every year. This one was great with good band openings. Can't wait for next year. Always look forward to CQP every year. This one was great with good band openings. Can't wait for next year.
WB6JJJ: Thanks for all of the Qs from California.Just got my antenna repaired and the defective rotor cable replaced so I played radio with the antenna still at 27 feet.Bill, WB6JJJSherwood, Oregon
WB6RLC: N6DE received ADIF from WB6RLC with no serial numbers.N6DE filled in dummy TX and RX serial numbers.Designate this log as checklog.It's clear from reverse logs that WB6RLC made upfake serial numbers off the top of his head when making QSOs.So stations should not be penalized for serial number mismatchwith WB6RLC. County, callsign, mode and frequency should be OK. N6DE 10/27 comments: resubmitted with 9999 as TX and RX serial number.
WB9TFH: Only on part time, wished I had more time for a better score, notmuch better than the last time 2018 :(( Anyway got some cw Q's,using CW Get to help. Mostly 20m daytime, only 2 on 40mand none on 80m. No prop here from the west, 40m & 80m mostly dead in evening.
WC7S: Thanks to all that help put this together! See you next year!!
WD0T: Fantastic turnout as always with CQP in state stations, makes it super fun.
WD6T: Another "both sides now" contesting experience as I op'ed from boththe N6O@N6RO M/M (remote...80/75m) and from my modest home station.Wasn't sure how much/if I was going to operate from home, but it's been over 10years since I did CQP from home and I was curious how it would play. So Iarbitrarily committed to 250-499 CW and 100-249 phone QSOs on the webregistration... and that motivated me to keep going (especially on phone). Iwas also motivated by trying to break the record for ALAM SOHP(A), which I thinkI accomplished.As my N6O shift was 0000-0800, my home effort has limited 40 and no 80/160. Fromhome, some good runs/moments (even on phone)...and some slow slog times: 20m wasmediocre with deep QSB, and more than a couple "SRI NIL TRY LATER"QSOs. 40m was better. 15m had a brief life here near noon on Sunday. Lots ofSO2V using IC-7610 w/PW-1, low roof-mounted KT34A, ground-mounted HF2V. Hadusual home RFI problems, but family (mostly) tolerated the bathroom fan, washingmachine, and computers going nuts. Missed only ND and NT.As for N6O, lots of fun doing dual mode SO2R on Flex 6600M. Remote workedflawlessly.Nice to work so many friends, near and far. My callsign recognition is slowlyimproving. Thanks to the CQP organizers for doing a great job on this contest.
WD6TED: My first CA QSP - what a great time. Thanks!
WL7CG: Three new counties here.
WN4AFP: The bands were full of CQP stations... I had limited time, but it's always a great QP and I look forward to the 2021 CQP! Thanks to all of you who have participated in the State QSO Party Challenge!
WO4O: Never heard a peep out of Kings, Trinity and Yuba in my 9 hours of participation.
WR7T: Thanks for the Q's.
