Very weak G signals .. More Telepathy than Telephony G0ADH IF THIS WAS YOUR FIRST CONTEST DON'T WORRY - IT'S NOT USUALLY THAT BAD !!!! G0AJJ Easy logging software G0DAY OH boy the QRM was incredible for me all long skip worked the only stations that I could hear and they where my own club membersI G0DWV Lousy band conditions good program G0EUN The band was very quiet GB wise enjoyed it! G0EYR Band vy noisy here very poor result G0FYX Same long skip condx as last year's Feb SSB After first 15 minutes only able to hear mainly GM's and they were strong. One local G near to end. G0GDU Late start condx very noisy and most G stations very weak FT1000 wid 100W into W3DZZ at 26 ft G0GFQ Terrible conditions with European QRM G0ICJ easy to operate difficult skip conditions for inter G G0IIQ Terrible conditions G0JJR/M WHAT A RACKET! G0KYS Absolutely flying for the first 20 minutes but then it all died! G0LHZ No propagtion to the UK! Scotland 59 + 20db but anywhere else no go!! G0MRH "If you can'hear them you can't work them" so also for G0MTN No "Midlands advantage" tonight. G0nkz band condx poor good contest G0OKF Conditions extremely poor. Have doubts about entering .nil None G0PSE CONDX VY POOR SD WAS FB AGN G0RAF Very Noisy Aerial problems didn't help either G0UGO Great night for DX! Conditions not good for a local contest Gave up after 1 hour! G0VXC first go in this contest for me G0VYR Band conditions dreadful G0WLF deliberate Slow scan G0WWD Band dropped out in the last hour I use SD for all my contests G0YYY Vy heavy QRM G1NGE Very hard going hopeit gets better G1PPA Some of the times are wrong for the contacts. Hope this is OK. Plus serial numbers went out of sequence. G1WKS worst 80m I've done.lots of qrm few stations heard G2AA hard work conditions awful G2BOF Where did all the signals go at 20:30. G3ASQ What a struggle! G3HRH Hard going. Band died after first 30 minutes and could only work GMs from Cornwall. After 60 minutes not an English voice to be heard. G3KNU Conditions same as last at this time long skip G3LHJ Very much the same condxs as last year - got a really ggod start - could not believe the pile-up and then all went very dead to G at 20:50 only GM's and EU readable - really enjoyed the pile-up from down here. G3LIK Very long skip and could only hear the GM stations with clarity.Always a struggle in February. G3NFB POOR PROPAGATION MADE GOING VERY TOUGH G3NLY Dire! Wicked QRN for most of the first half. For the remainder, if I could copy such stations as there were G3NPF This was a real struggle with the worst conditions I have experienced for years. All G stations, even locals, were very weak but GMs and Central Europeans were 40 over 9. G3PDH Extremely poor inter-G conditions as usual for this first contest. G3PHO What a learning curve! Terrible inter G propagation! How do those stations with over 100 qsos do it? G3PYC You could only work stations to 10 miles or 300+ miles I fully recomend the SD logging to anyone in contests A guide to post contest editing also deleting of files that have been used for previous contests would help G3RHH Inter-G working very difficult. Strong continental QRM. G3RRL WHAT DOES PROPAGATION MEAN ??? G3RWL Condx so bad I gave up after an hour. Was as bad last year. HFCC should reconsider starting the CC in February; March onwards (with an extra month added at the end) would be better. Or make it LF-CC and use 160m early in the year. G3SET Worst condx I can recall on an 80m CC contest. UK / EU SNR very poor G3SNU skip fine 'til 2045-then last FEB. all over again! G3SVD Terrible conditions tonight, wkd more GMs and continentals than Gs. But it was a good test of operating skill I suppose. 73 G3SWC It made AFS seem like heaven by comparison. GMs & continentals all fair sigs but inter-G virtually impossible with long skip! G3SXW That was horrible. Skip far too long. G3TKF VERY noisey conditions down here in the S West G3UJE Noisy band with long skip into Europe for whole period. From here in the North West all G/GM/GW/GJ signals were extremely weak & watery! Signals were fine just before the contest started but UK was 'switched off' at 8pm. Think I need a beverage to pull signals through in conditions like this. Found a reasonably clear frequency and just slogged it out - real hard work! Think I enjoyed it. Hope condx better for the next session. G3VCA skip very long, uk stations very weak, difficult this time. G3VIP RIG IC7000 10W - DIPOLE AT 30FT WHAT A WASTE OF TIME G3VMY V hard going with 5w s6-9 local noise all the time. G3VQO came on late - conditions were poor - ten minutes was enough for me !!! G3WHK What happened to the inter G contacts. It was just as if somebody turned the lights off. G3WNI Difficult conditions.long skip G3YAJ JUST SAY VERY NOISY G3YEC Horrendous (Foreign) babble. Little G/M stations heard never mind worked. Hope the next one is better. Wish I was fluent in Dutch German Spanish Russian Danish and several more languages. G3YHV terrible conditions hardly a g station to be heard cos of the long skip ! G3YOA Lot's of continentals making 'G' working difficult SD is the usual log that our group use G3ZGC Dreadful conditions. Initially only Locals and GD & GM coming through then just locals. Rig IC77%DSP set to 100w 132 ft wire up 33 ft in 55 ft garden. G3ZHE Bad Condx. Gave up at 2100. looked at Muf it was 8Mhz. Looked at Critical freq it was under 3Mhz. In Warrington we have to wait until late March to start scoring. But Good Fun 73 albert G3ZRJ WORKED ALL I HEARD BAR 3 WHO COULDN'T HEAR ME G4ARN/P band conditions terrible G4BUO Isn't propagation fascinating? G4DBW Elecraft K2 plus homebrew amplifier 30 watts pep I worked all I could hear from this QTH. Conditions not suitable for inter G working. G4DDX awful.only long skip.the scots had the best of it. I gave up about 9.15 suffering a headache!! G4EBK Conditions poor from the start here, didn't hear any of the usual midlands,GM,GW stations. G4FAL Not much between 20 miles and 320 miles! G4FNL Propagation made this one tough for me. I also had terrible local S9 line noise for first hour - apologies for those that called which I missed G4FQR I used SD for logging - it's great. G4HSU Part of Cray Valley Radio Society entry Wire antenna end loaded, about 15m long, 6m high 0.8m ASL G4IRN cRAP CONDITIONS. G4JRY Same as last year at this time conditions rubbish G4KTI condx diabolical *!*!* G4LRP Great Band for DX hopeless for Uk contesting ! G4NOK I used SD for logging - it's great. G4OGB Condx dreadful. Most stns heard were also S&P. G4RCG This was hard work its too early in the year for 80m maybe should start in March not Feb Also heard a GX call I thought that this was not to be used in any contest apart from Club Calls ? G4SLE lousy conditions but GMs were very strong used sd thankyou G4TPO Toughest yet!!! G4WBV * HARD GOING. SKIP LONG. G4WGE What happened to the ionosphere???? Worked 4 stations located within 5 miles and the rest were in Scotland! Abysmal!!!! Encouraged by the number of club members who did put in an appearance. Only hope the conditions won't put them off further participation. G5RR Conditions not so good on night Yes enjoyed using it! G6KWA Very rusty - very long skip - not good G7TWC Extrememly hard work! Pity I don't speak Russian as that became all I could hear by the end. G7VRK LONG SKIP WAS THE HARDEST ONE YET G8FMH Hard work G8FMJ/P appalling conditions virtually no short skip G8MIA Conditions were very poor for inter-G working G8VCN The conditions were dreadful after mostly long path. SD is well written and great fun to use. Highly Recommended. G8WQE CONDITIONS ALMOST AS BAD AS THIS TIME LAST YEAR G8YMW February live down to expectations GM0ELP Well that's the first CC that I've had some nice runs in! Sussed out early that the propagation was favouring me so called CQ for the full 1.5hrs. G stns disappeared about 20:45 and from then on it was mostly Continental stns coming back. Tried to make hay while the going was good but slow going in the second half. Thanks to all who worked me. FT1000MP MkV 100W 80m Doublet at 30ft GM3UCN Propagation not too good died to G's around 2100 |
