M0CNP It was grand to see the band open at last at least until about 2100 when it seemed someone turned off the switch. Incredible. As usual good fun and thanks everyone for the points M0EBN Could hear many but difficulty working them. M0GAV Better score this time but room for improvement!! M0JEC FT-817 5w full size G5RV (Doublet) M0JQK SD rocks.Conditions were varied but enjoyed the contest Looking forward to the next one M0KOP Band died after 21:00 nice to work a few though. M0LUV First ever contest M0LUY Local noise i think? M0MDF very noisy and alot of qsb after 2100hrs M0NKS great start but conditions changed about 2100 hrs and i only worked tow in the last 30 mins M0OXO Enjoyed it again as always. Band died for me at around 2110 as expected here in barnsley. Nice to hear the 2e0's and m3's again too. M0RDS Finding SD very usefull now. Very strange conditions again M0SCG Good contest but poor condx I used SD logging software which is simple to use M0SPC Less than an hour managed hard work only s&p M0TFO Qrm M0TLN First Amateur radio contest. M0WYB Sporadic.Held frequency depite qrm.Died after 2100(conditions, not me) M1EBV Seemed to die at the end, but good fun M1PTR Propagation was good until 21:00 then inter G dropped out. M3TBK Conditions quickly deteriorated, only GM's were audible near the end and I couldn't crack their pile-ups M3UJL Better than last time but band went dead towards end M3WYX very good contest good mix of g and eu stations fantastic conditions and lots of goodops good to see a rewarding end to the contest M3XOE My first SSB comp. Hard work but great fun. MM0GPZ Plenty of big signals at the start. I tried running but no chance. S&P'd until halfway through then had a very good run until somebody switched the propogation off at 9:21. MM3XUI first contest |
SOAPBOX: 2E0RFSHeavy QRM difficult to separate stations conditions improving. Hope to do better next time. 2E0TJX Got on late! 2E0YDX New to contesting and even newer to contesting software but improving each time G0ADH Much quieter after 9:00 G0AJJ Started well but activity dropped off after 9pm G0AOJ Band was in good shape until 21:00 SD is great contest logging programe...Thanks paul G0DAY Started off ok but the 9 o clock turn off hit again after that just a few long skip left and of course SD worked without a hitch G0FYX Short skip again for the last 25 minutes Super Duper logging program excellent G0IIQ Started off OK and went downhill from there G0KDS Uuuuuuuum qrp gets harder G0KYS Conditions fairly normal for first hour, then QRM faded. GMs were cleaning up again! G0LHZ Great fun but was two contests - up to 9 pm it was a UK contest after 9 pm it was a GM contest! G0LWU Tnx for contest. The output power was 100w G0MRH Conditions poor in the Midlands but a few GM's came through with good signals G0MTN Windy so left antenna without support. Left contest a Very hard S+P competition. G0OKF SD works -- as ever. G0RAF Enjoyable event - band seemed to go flat at 21:00Hrs G0UIQ not bad was ok G0WHO Went very well at the start then conditions changed and only German stations audible in the lower band. However some cracking GM stations in the upper part G0WJX Ten Tec Orion 1 1/2 G5RV (extended) G3GHS yes I did but conditions bad qrz used too much by stns G3GWB Usual sudden and dramatic change in skip distance - this time around 21.00. SD worked fine for this contest except RF getting into the PC caused spurious characters to appear in the log fields - not noticed until several contacts had made. G3HRH Band closed (as usual) around 21.10 Skip went very long but GM still OK G3IZD conditions excellent for first 50 mins or so then high noise level throughout band and less good UK propagation G3KNU Who switches the band off at 2100? Roll on clock change G3LDI Band folded again at 9 p.m. here, tough going after that.Almost went and made a cuppa! G3LHJ Had ATC commitments tonight - only mamaged last 30mim and condxs crazy very long skip and the GM's having a ball again. G3LIK/P Different conditions from the Midlands. Long skip only in the last half hour. Put log on SD after getting home G3LLK Skip went long after 9 p.m. Could only hear distant stations after that and activity very low. G3NDJ good fun contest-band conditions quite good good logging programme G3NPF Very strange conditions. Lots of stations and QRM for the first 45 minutes, then, within the space of a few minutes, no stations, no QRM, only long skip GMs and a few continentals. G3OLB It happened again! Someone switched the band off at 2115! G3PHO I was fortunate enough to find a clear spot on 3642kHz right at the start and managed to maintain a run on it until just after 2100z, after which the plug was pulled and most of the UK stations disappeared to be replaced with DL, PA, OK, UAs and like. After 2-3 QSOs a minute up to 9pom I only managed 10 contacts in the last 25 minutes! G3PSM First time in an SSB contest for many years. A bit of tweaking to do to the setup. Band went long skip at 2100 G3PYC Using SD is a must for the likes of me G3RRL Good contest some very big scores and the band died 210 G3RSD Used sd worked perfectly G3SNU Managed to get calling spot at 2055 band went out at 2110. G3TXF A real struggle. Unbelievable rate during the first three minutes. But lost the good starting frequency so after. Never got going again. The GMs were pounding in. And after the 21z propagation switch-off the Gs just disappeared leaving only the GMs plus a few distinterested EUs. G3VCA A good contest apart from the band dropping out after 9pm. G3VMY Change of antenna gave poor results.No choice QRV on 80m in the balance for now. G3VPW Hard going after 21:00 when just hearing GM G3VUS noisy band and G sigs disappeared after 2100 G3WVG ft1000mp (100 watt version) + dipole at 70ft. Band suddenly closed to G at 2100. G3YHV band faded out at 2100 ! G3YOA Good contest high scores worked. Easy with SD G3ZBU Very odd conditions with things getting very quiet after 21:00. However very interesting CW pile-ups to be heard at the bottom of 80m so there must be some interesting DX. G3ZGC A real problem being jammed out for the first 30 minutes. I nearly gave up because of it. Conditions went at 20:50 with me. One station had a full QSO which also lowered the score! G3ZHE Another north cheshire slog with critical freq at 3.4 Mhz at 2100 G3ZVW Brilliant conditions at the start but antenna problems, so not being heard. S&P only. In the words of The Terminator, "I'll be back!" G4BUO Thought I was on for a big score but the band died just before 9pm G4CKH Lots of activity, but short skip peetered out around 2100 hrs. For the last half hour only gm's audiable. Really enjoy these short format contests. Looking forward to the next. G4DDX skip changed just before nine and down went the qso rate but not for the GM's. Shows up my poor antenna. I useed SD as usual. G4FAL The band died at 9pm so I had a lovely qso with Serg somewhere over the Urals, hi. However the Mighty Blades have won 3 on the trot so things are looking up. G4FKA Dreadful. Worst SSB leg for years! Band wide open but could hardly be heard so something not right with the station. G4FNL Thanks to all for the QSO's. Conditions changed in the last 45mins. Went from a rate of over 200 per hour to 35 per hour within 15 mins. (Sorry that I caused QRM to Nigel G3TXF at one stage) G4FQI Who switched the band off at 2100? First ever ssb contest and using SD logger, be back next time so couldnt have been that bad G4GZB SD was very effective again. Signals good, but disappeared at 2100hrs. G4OGB Similar condx to last week. SD worked well again. G4OOC SD Superb once again. I really enjoy using SD it makes thing so easy G4RCD Got a good start held, a frequency until conditions changed dramatically about 30 minutes from the end Used SD for Logging G4RCG This session was very very noisy and difficult to pull the weaker stations out. The band went dead on me at 21.10 and only worked a few stations after that time. Still enjoyed it. G4VUD better than last ssb contest, could actually hear stations G4ZGP Competing against some very powerful stations but using a poor 80m antenna. Enjoyable nevertheless G5KC 1/4 Wave Vertical Antenna is not appropriate for this contest G6FOP new rig, must learn how to use it G6KWA Conditions seemed good but early end due to tvi !! Now sorted ready for next time G7RFB A little better than last time G7SKR First Ever Contest - Good Fun - Looking forward to Data G7VRK Best this year so far. SD work ok as allways G8FMJ/P change in conditions made the second half interesting with some good DX, but hard work. G8MIA Conditions changed at around 9pm only long skip G8RCK condx ok til 2100hrs ish G8YMW Very hight static (local i think ?) GM3POI Good condx for a change GM3ZBE Used Win-test for the first time, no problems. Band was extremely busy and noisy used 12dB rx attenuation the whole time. GW4BLE By way of 'experiment', made a rash decision just a minute before the start of contest that I would exclusively S & P for the first hour. Bad decision! |
