My participation in the 2026 CQ WPX SSB contest was modest.
I had poor propagation and limited time to dedicate to it.
With 78 QSO’s, I achieved 48 DXCC’s (12 new Ones in SSB) and 21 CQ Zones.

Have had a play down here. A mixture of running and S&P on 10m and 15m. Conditions haven't been too bad but needed the amp. #cqwpx

Turned my log in with about three hours to go once I'd hit 30 contacts. Not exactly a mountain compared to some of the four-figure contest stations I was working, but gives me a target for next time. #hamradio #cqwpx

Reached the 15m band, which is STILL extremely busy! 🏃💨 #CQWPX #hamradio #shortwave

Results from this weekend's contesting, 237 in the log 76k points. #cqwpxssb #cqwpx #cqww #wpx #contesting #contest #hamradio

Las bandas de 20 y 15 metros lado a lado. No se puede negar que los concursos son una oportunidad muy interesante para cazadores de DX. #CQContest #CQWPX #CQWPXSSB #Web888 #TukuTukuSDR #SWL #OndaCorta #Radioescucha #ShortWave #Radioaficion #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

Progress so far in #cqwpx, moved indoors after dark #contesting #hamradio #cqwpxssb #contest

This is my setup for #cqwpx #contest this weekend, running as LC5L www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxqR... #hamradio #contesting #wpx #cqwpxssb

As I'm temporarily stuck with Linux, and GQRX, which I find kinda fiddly to tune the radio with... I quite like what I can do it, at least visually 😅

The #CQWPX RTTY contest is just around the corner. Less than 24 hours and the signal from #DP7D is on #shortwave back on air. Please call us if you see our spot and help us to break the #German #record.

Being shite, still gets you a prize!

After a refreshing sleep post- #cqwpx I'm happy to have managed to stay up for 36h (haven't done such a class for years) as SOABHP unassisted TB-wires finishing with 2400 Qs and some 4M points. #hamradio #contest

Seems to be the new "normal" to not mention the report in the WPX contest exchange to gain time. It's in the rules, so use it or loose the contact. #cqwpx #contest

If you participate in the #CQWPX #SSB contest 15 and 20m are currently the best-performing #DX #hamradio bands

#CQWPX #RTTY 2022 #hamradio #hamr #contest

Trick when #qso run rate slows down during a contest. Spotting of a rare fake Call on the exact same run frequency. Just coincidence? I observed this several times during #cqwpx #hamradio #hamr

I was pretty much on track before the coax snapped - SOAB LP #cqwpx 2021 #contest #hamr #hamradio #amaturradi #cqwpxssb

Reactivating #cqwpx battle plan next year #contest #hamr #hamradiio #amateurradio

Fixed #hamradio #hamr but lost too much time #cqwpx next year

This guy screwed my sunday besides the snapped coax. I redid the coax soldering over and over again because when I tested the new soldering with the dummy load I used this coupler.... shortly b4 total madness I replaced it and voila... bye #cqwpx #contest #hamr #hamradio
