"We had a lot of fun this year, our second time in the Collegiate Championship. We added a Kenwood linear since last year, which really helped in breaking through the pile ups on the rare multipliers. With better planning and more operating hours we were able to increase our 2006 score by over 6 times." - N9IH (@ Principia College N9YN)

"I spent most of my five hours in the contest hunting for multipliers, interspersed with an occasional run. I'm looking forward to hearing more college/university stations during the phone portion." - NF1R (@ Harvard Univ. W1AF)

"I enjoyed the weekend fun, especially the contacts with other schools. I wish we had a catalog listing for COMM --... ...--, Intro to CW, as a course here at Hesston College!" - W0BH (@ Hesston College K0HC)

"Thanks to everyone for all the QSOs. This was my first 24-hour single-op effort ever in SS CW. I've always either been part of a multi-op, done a split effort at two stations, or operated just a few hours single-op." - N7MH (@ Stanford Univ. W6YX)

"No full time effort this year, maybe next year. The bands sounded pretty good from here in the noise hole." - K2TJ (@ MIT W1MX)

"This was the first time for Ole Miss W5UMS to enter Phone Sweepstakes. 80 meters sure was jumpin'! It was lots of fun, and I'm looking forward to next year." - W5MPC (@ Univ. of Mississippi W5UMS)

"This was the best Sweepstakes in recent years at W8UM. 40 meters and 80 meters went long early. We had fun cheering brave new students making their first QSOs in the heat of the contest. We made lots of alumni contacts and heard a multitude of 'GO BLUE!' exclamations, too." - KA8WFC (@ Univ. of Michigan W8UM)

"This year we were able to get our participation level way up. Saturday evening we had over 15 people in the shack operating, spotting and observing. It was a real party! At one point we got our interim Dean of the College Tom Fuller N9UF to operate the radio with his Administrative Assistant Linda Cunningham KC0THU on the logging computer. They added some important multipliers to our score. We also enjoyed a brief 6:30 AM chat on Sunday with the great team at Hesston College." - N9IH (@ Principia College N9YN)

"We only made two contacts more than last year, but last year the participation of FAU ARC members was better. KI4WFJ made a total of eleven contacts, but this was his first contest. I think I can coach him to participate more in upcoming contests ;)" - W4RIS (@ Florida Atlantic Univ. K4FAU)

"After several training sessions in the Hesston College computer lab and Friday night on-the-air practice, four students and three faculty/staff operators were READY! It was great to chat with the other school stations including some we've never worked before. It was also fun to see the confidence in our students build as the hours went by and they took their turns helping at the run station." - W0BH (@ Hesston College K0HC)

"Many thanks to K6IF for opening the contest with stellar rates on 15 meters and 40 meters. He also snagged 69 of the 79 mults we gathered in the first four hours. He also loaned us his Ameritron AL-12 legal limit amplifier. The Beverages worked well on 80 meters - thanks to those that helped get them sorted out in time for the contest." - N6CCH (@ Stanford Univ. W6YX)

"Propagation was very unusual and seemed very focused for much of the time. For example, I worked many Santa Clara Valley stations but got Los Angeles only once near the end. I never got Western Pennsylvania. On the other hand, many stations took the time to ask what school we were from, adding a more personal feeling to the event." - K3BXH (@ Univ. of Pennsylvania W3ABT)
