G4IAR
Terrible Condx. Even my usual groundwave contacts had disappeared.

G4LRP
Band going well for the first half hour then it died!

G4MRS
Conditions a bit odd, changing a couple of times during
the contest, but good fun as usual.

G4OGB
Condx no better.

YAESU FT920 100 WATTS

Logged with SD

GW3KDB
Awful conditions.

Many continentals! Hope next month is better for me!

M0AJM
Band conditions very noisy but good fun

M0AJT
Conditions not at all favourable to East Coast

M0BXR
First time on this contest

M0CES
Conditions terrible.

M0CMQ
let's see how my 80m with SSB works - answer,
not very well, lots of qrm/qrn.

M0DEY
Hard work. Very difficult getting heard by other
stations. Mega-QRM!

M0GHZ
Dire

M0HHF
very noisy

M0KGF
Hard going for my first contest entry

M0RCD
First ever contest. Noise and QRM made life difficult
but quite happy with the number of contacts made
See you all next time!

M0RIA
FIRST COMPETITION ENTRY

M0TNX
Band hard work local qrm SD absolutely superb
Struggled with noise from next doors cheap DVD!!
Good first contest for me roll on the CW

M0VIE
bad conditions

M1DDD
Rubbish conditions for me at 1500 feet
Some sort of aurora ? Spoilt the listening
sigs were there but quality poor
better luck next leg !

M1DOP
First time on the event

Look forward to next time !

SOAPBOX:

2E0ATY
GOOD CONTEST AT LAST I BROKE THE 100 MARK

2E1GUA
the band was not good

2U0GSY
Very poor conditions tonight.
G stations not very strong

G0AOJ
Band was very noisy
Lot of European stations

G0EYO
difficult conditions many continentals

G0EYR
Very noisey QRM wall to wall!

G0FYX
Only one station heard between 3700-3775
Conditions changed after an hour

G0HDV
VERY HARD GOING AGAIN

G0IIQ
Terrible conditions - hope its better next time

G0JLF
Many periods where there were monster EU sigs but very
weak G stations. Difficult. Must get a narrow filter!

G0KDS
more noise than stations

G0KPZ
VERY NOISY BAND CONDITIONS INC EUROPEAN STNS

G0KYS
Conditions not as good for inter-G as last month and
very variable. Inter-G was good for me at start and I
had a big pile up as it appeared it was only me down
here in Devon! However things got quieter. Worked IK
& S57, so obviously good long skip at that point.

G0MRH
Conditions absolutely awful!
General noise level strength around S8-S9
There may have been a lot of stations on but
not audible in the centre-midlands

G0MTN
Crikey.

G0OKF
Conditions were abysmal again. This is
probably the last time I shall enter such
a contest. Contest is not the name for such
as what occurred during the 90 minutes.
It is held at the wrong time of year. I ask
is this deliberate to favour the Chiltern DX clubbers?

G0RAF
Lousy
Lousy conditions

G0VYR
Heavy QRM from continental stations at 59 plus.

G0WWD
SLOW GOING

G3GLL
Rotten conditions here !

G3JJZ
RIG - TS-940S
ANTENNAS - 85' LW
Conditions terrible. The usual S9++ sigs down into
the noise level.

G3KNU
Condx up here in the frozen north appalling

G3KUM
CONDITIONS AWFUL

G3LDI
Dreadful propagation for this contest. Wish I spoke Russian!!!

G3LHJ
Weird conds - very hard going but fun

G3LIK
Once again a struggle to hear the G people as long skip
was evident.

G3MXH
Found short range inter G contacts very hard going
indeed but the band did inmprove a little towards
the end of the session.. F5VHY ex G3MXJ was a
cracking signal form Bordeaux.

G3NAS
IC756, Inv. vee at 60 ft

G3NFB
Skip into Europe brilliant but only very weak G stations. No GMs heard at all.

G3NKC
Conditions atrocious; band very noisy, some signals auroral; others weak.
Loud (=s9 stations still tough to work !!
Spent some time shifting people out of the no-contest section!

G3NKS
Conditions - yuk!

G3NLY
FT1000mp, 80/40 trapped Inv. vee
SOAPBOX: Absolutely dire. The only genuine 59+ signals were
from the continent.

G3NPF
Excellent conditions for the first half hour but then
everything fell apart and it was a real struggle.
Strange how band conditions can change so quickly.

G3ORY
The critical frequency (Fcrit) for the F2 layer was
down by 1.4 MHz on the day before

G3PDH
Very poor inter G condx again.
A good example of how inefficient ssb is as a mode.
Didn't like the split band arrangement, not convinced
everyone is aware of this??

G3RSD
very hard going

G3SVL
What happened to the propagation????

G3SWC
Inter-G condx changed dramatically after first 40mins
with sigs becoming very weak.

G3TKF
Yet another very very noisey band - can we have these on Sunday afternoon ?

G3TXF
Condx far from ideal for inter-G for my set-up at least. A
struggle to work most stations.

G3UFY
RIG - FT1000MP
ANTENNAS - Vertical loop
Replaced my usual low dipole with the vertical loop in hope of more
EU QSOs - serious error as missed out on loads of the UK stns!
Band being horribly noisy didn't help.

G3VIP
RIG FT301S 10W - ANTENNA 40M LW
SKIP ALL WRONG IN NORTH - LOT OF DELIBERATE QRM

G3VQO
ninety minutes ??? seemed like 48 hours !!!
a real struggle to make so few contacts
bring on the CW section !!!

G3VYE
My scores seem to get worse with practice. Must be a
combination of the conditions an unsuitable aerial and
(tonight) a late start. At least when you are
scraping the bottom of the barrel the only way is up.

G3WRR
RIG - FT1000MP
ANTENNAS - 50ft longwire @ 20ft
Tried QRP at the start - no chance with my tiny antenna!
Up to 100W after the first few QSOs - and none to easy even then
Skip too long to make G QSOs easily

G3WVG
TS930s+dipole at 60ft..100w o/p

G3WZT
Good conditions to start with but latter
half of contest affected by Auroral activity.

G3XSV
First 25 minutes were fine... after that condx
went rapidly down hill.

G3YAJ
Noise and more Noise!!

G3YEC
What a racket ! Noise from the continent was 5+
Will the RSGB please please tell the German DARC the
frequencies for our contest. Ther amount ofd Germans
I heard arguing with contestants over the freqs
was unbelievable.

G3YHV
Very strange conditions again. Very loud G stations and loads of VERY weak ones

G3ZBE
Used SD 11.08 worked well no problems
Conditions seemed quite good had long and short skip
A little deliberate qrm but not as bad as some sessions
My voice gives up in these contests and I am forced
to lubricate it with a wee dram!

G3ZBU
Band went very quiet towards the end. Most strange!
But many other stations seem to have noticed this.

G3ZGC
I delayed a visit to a customer for this! It was dreadful. Everyone had a severe echo.
Even G0ORH just 4 miles away was hardly readable.

G3ZHE
lots of noise, many very weak stations, better last half hour
but many Euro stations. Had a steaming cold. Voice ran
out at 2121. Wish it was cw.

G3ZRJ
AFTER 2030 VIRTUALLY NOTHING A FEW VY WEAK
STATIONS WORKED BUT MOST CALLED WERE N/R
LETS HOPE CONDX IMPROVE FOR THE CW SESSION

G4ARN/P
band conditions seemed terrible
had lots of trouble with static and being heard

G4BJQ
Band conditions very poor

G4BUO
Really tough. Tried to run a frequency near the top of the band but
I could tell I was slipping behind so went S+P for a while and then
things picked up a bit on a new run frequency. Interesting to experience
the changes in propagation from one week to the next, and even within the
90 minute contest period!

G4DBX
Very poor conditions

G4DDX
Awfull conditions. lack of strong G stns most reports
should have been 3 by 3 with me. Hope things improve
soon.

G4EBK
Looked promising with the first 10 in 9 Minutes.
Only 7 in next 20 mins. not so good, then downhill.
10 more in next 45 Mins. zero in last 15 Mins.
Continental stations getting stronger as time went on.

G4EZT
Good conditions initially then East Europe QRM forced qsy
Second half of contest all G's weak and Auroral signals

G4FCN
Flat out for first 30 mins then it died !!

G4FKA
Could whoever stole the ionosphere please put it back!
Dire, dreadful and lots of other words beginning with D.
Hard work with the wet string at 15 feet but all in a good cause.

M3ABC
G stations very thin and weak. Hard going, patience required.

M3CVN
Conditions went down during the contest. Hardly no G's on the band at end

M3LIB
Very difficult conditions

M3RCV
Only managed last 45 minutes. Less said about
conditions the better. Can only be better for the
March contest.

M3TBK
Contest only slightly less boring than my French homework
Very noisy, and difficult to hold a frequency

M5CSM
UK stations quite weak was hard work
