Soapbox:
N4KIT - Band conditions pretty bad in SE Virginia. Couldn't find much activity from Maryland/DC.
N9HDE - It was great working the mobile operators on CW!
VE3GXW - Enjoyed myself but conditions did not seem that great.
KB8UEY - Need to get more MD folks on the air. ... over five hours SSB... Nobody found on PSK. Tried 10, 20, 40, & 80.
KI4FW/3 - I thought that I'd go portable/QRP with some hamsticks and my battery powered IC703...from the top floor of [an] office building in [DC]. I expected to do well from that height. Boy, was I wrong. Propagation was miserable on 20M and worse on 40M — at least for me. I couldn't face going back [on Sunday].
KR3E - Recommended 80m cw freq should be changed from 3.643 to remove it from extra SSB portion of the band.
W3HAM - Ops: W3NHR, W3SPY and WA3EOP. Lost one (new) HF Rig during the contest but our antique station plugged away. Had one 90 minute pileup on 20 Sunday Afternoon. Saturday Conditions poor here.
WA3EOP/M - From only 2 counties this year.
KB3NDS - Not much time to work the contest this year, but I had a great time doing it for a little bit. Thanks again for a fun contest!
N2WN - Wish it could have been more, sounded like there was decent activity.
KB3PXR - We need more 2 Meter Stations.
AI3G - This was my fourth time entering this contest and it gets better every year. Had to stop several times due to the thunderstorms.
NA2X - Lots of QRN and QSB at this end [NY], sure made 80 a tough go. Nice surprise to find short skip on 20M to MD. Thanks for all the contacts, especially to Bob, K4MUT, … great mobile activity and all the MD county multipliers!
K4MUT - Where were all the MDC club stations and mobiles this year? Need to change the 75/80-meter recommended frequencies. Blew up a rig in Baltimore. Had to go home for a replacement, wasting several hours Saturday. Spent hours in QAN waiting to get across the bridge after the truck accident closed it.
WB8YYY - Wow Thanks for sponsoring nice contest. Most of the time my QRP signal got thru. Please no plaque wanted even if more QRP [showed up] in MD.
K3SMD - We had fun!
KE3VV - Not many fixed stations on in Maryland counties. Most surprising QSO was with 4LØA in war-torn Georgia. Really tough band conditions.
W1END - Nice to work W4HSA/M on his way thru MD on Saturday. K4MUT/M provided most of the activity on both days. Thanks to them these are the most qso's for me in this party.
KJ4AOM - Great Contest....Thanks!
K3TW - Activity seemed lower this year, but as always, it was fun to operate in the Maryland-DC QSO Party.
N7BMG - [This was] my first effort at a contest.
W1DWA - I'd nominate K4MUT for Sainthood! Conditions awful - T'storms, etc. Had a good time. Thanks 73, Don
W2LHL - Thunderstorms terrible. Many thanks to K4MUT/M ...
K4BAI - Please change suggested 80M CW frequency to some freq between 3525 - 3600! Thanks.
K9EU - Thought I'd try QRP this year. Thanks to all who copied my weak signal, especially K4MUT/M.
K3UMV - Had fun.
