Results - 80m Club Championships 2008
Individual Sessions - 7th APR CW
G4FNL Good inter-G conditions throughout the contest. My QSO rate for the first hour was 104 which is about right - but there seems to be very little differnce between the top scores in terms of QSO numbers. It would appear to all be down to log accuracy G4IUF Better than last time, more EU participation also Enjoyed using SD G4OGB Condx picking up, making the session more enjoyable. SD worked fine G4OOC SD was as usual superb Really Enjoyed it this evening G4RCD Late home, missed first few minutes, but got a run frequency and stuck to it throughout. SD and Winkey worked fine. SD told me that I deserve extra points for a QSO with EI5DI... is that correct!!?? (Adjudicators notes - NO !) G4RCG Started off really well but slowed down after 1st 30 mins, G6MC Good conditions from the North of England G7VRK mixw worked well as all ways G8MIA Conditions were good for the whole contest GW0ETF My first 80m CC of this year. Seemed a nice lot of new callsigns on show compared to last year.... GW3KDB FT1000mp Doublet at 45ft. 100 Watts For the first 30mins was subjected to deliberate QRM with foul language regarding contesters. M0AJT Conditions seemed better this time, enjoyed it. Used Super Duper again. Thanks Paul. M0BPQ Elecraft K2 and bit of wire 10W o/p. 15 min phone call in the middle didn't help! M0CES Most stns very loud..Nice contest M0CNP Conditions good until about 2000, and deteriorated rapidly thereafter. Still, most enjoyable. M0CUL Only 8. 5 more than last time! M0MDF condx were'nt too bad tonite. M0NZA Very busy and very enjoyable. Good Morse practice too! Thanks for the contacts M3WCK My Best contest so far. Conditions held up well and again thanks to operators who slowed down. I do not remember asking for a repeat M5ALG Conditions not bad this time. SD good as usual MM0GPZ Very noisy band tonight. MM0RKT Quite nice condx, for once. PA0FAW Very noisy band, signals not strong but worked them easier than last month. Still a nice contest. PA3AM Again exciting, good conditions and a new personal record! |
SOAPBOX: 2E0TBV Only my second contest. Really hooked now. Very good G0ADH Excellent conditions G0DAY This is more like it, good sigs over the evening most enjoyable G0DVJ Great fun as usual. Lots of activity. Enjoyed using new radio Will learn how to use it soon :) G0FYX Condx good. SD used post contest. G0IBN Very enjoyable, more contests should be of this length keeps the xyl happier G0LHZ Started late - but great fun G0LZL Good event but QRS section 20 kcs with only 2 or 3 ops calling CQ and 3.520 to 3.550 packed with stations. Suggest you make QRS section 10 kcs smaller and open up the band a bit more for the other 97% but still a very good contest G0MTN Whinge #1: If I call "G4?", if you're a G3 please QRX. Maybe it's sometimes acceptable in an international contest or pileup, but in a domestic contest, don't you think there might be a real G4 calling? Whinge #2: If you call me a second time for a dupe QSO, don't clear off after realising your mistake leaving me to send your exchange (twice) before realising you'd gone. "SRI B4" or going through with the QSO would have been fairer. Whinge #3: If you're trying to stake out a frequency before the start, at least make the effort to use it. Sitting there, acknowledging "QRL?" with "R" and going back to listening is perhaps not in the spirit. Whinge #4: Wait for a TU before disappearing. On two QSOs I immediately queried a number or callsign but didn't get any response. It's your loss (as well as mine) as I deleted the QSOs as they were not complete. . G0OKF Conditions appear to be improving. SD works FB as usual G0UHM Very good G0WKW This is my last contest from UK before I am off to live in Sweden - always a nice event and many thanks to you all. Hope to start working you all soon from SM-land! 73s de Vic G3GWB Aaaargh! Computer crashed again - paper logging saved the day. G3HRH Much QRM. Band started to get noisy around 20.15 G3IZD At last conditions better for UK working from NW of G Good to see so many of those for whom CW is not a second language having a good try at CW contesting instead of whinging, full marks to Clubs for encouragement G3JNB Good conditons. G3KAF Very good conditions this evening G3KNU What a difference an hour makes, sorry when it ended. Good propagation to all parts of UK and Europe. Tried the latest version of SD worked FB. G3LDI Better conditions tonight, more taking part too. Still some sending a number, e.g. 52, instead of 052. This does tend to throw you at first! Good to hear several M3 stations sending nice CW. G3LPC My first CC contest under excellent condx G3OLB Good condx throughout contest (for a change!) G3PDH Much better condx and lots of participants. Our contest training activities are paying off this year! G3PHO Good inter G conditions now we're on BST. Calling CQ at the start never seems to work for me! So went S and P after 3 minutes of no replies. Had QRM from a couple of ops who seem to use audio tone generated computer CW! G3RHH Plenty of activity and strong signals from G stations G3RSD Used"sd" worked perfectly G3SHF Good conditions were a pleasant change. Very enjoyable. G3SVD My best cw effort to date. I did better than I expected and really enjoyed myself. G3TBK/P IC706 MKllG 10 watts. Antenna 70 ft end fed wire thrown over two trees, about 30 ft up. /P from Rosedale Abbey Caravan Club Site, North York Moors. Site in dale with high hills all round. Condx seemed quite good, steady scoring despite QRP and very poor antenna. G3TKF Wow ! - conditions for a change were really good ! and why is it that some people just don't listen before they call CQ on a frequency? ? G3TLH Quite good conditions throughout. My best score for some time. G3VIP RIG IC7000 10W - 50M LW - Homebrew logger Good condx, best score on CC G3VPW Improving on last month, slow starter still Hi ! G3VYI Some very big sigs good activity. Lots of GM's and new calls Good to work lots with 20W Fixed HRO just in time again ! G3WRR Serious problems - just didn't seem to be getting out this time. Investigations clearly required! Something odd in the antenna department.... G3WVG FT1000MP (100W version) + dipole at 70ft Condx for UK (here in Surrey) were excellent tonight. G3XVR I thought conditions were going to die again at 19:45, but the band picked itself up again towards the end. G3YEC Another good 80M contest. Conditions good and nice to hear some of the newer calls on. SD as good as ever - Thanks Paul G3YMC Good contest, conditions good for inter G for a change. Activity seemed a bit down, but plenty to keep me occupied. 73 Dave G3YMC G3ZBU reasonable condx even at the end. G3ZGC Deliberate data jamming right at the start. Conditions good and plenty of Eu stations worked. QSO 124 went well over 2030z so has been discounted. G3ZHE A better night. I dont seem able to make writelog to send my category so .Single op, 100watts, 55 claimed. Hand sent cw from ic7700 ant 90ft doublet 30ft up and 30ft asl 73 and thanks for running the contest G3ZVW Good conditions and plenty of activity. G4ABX Conditions not great for a vertical! Good contest G4ARN/P Good fun but local qrm a problem G4BUO Tons of activity - 10 callsigns still on my gotaway list at the end G4BZP hand morse, using clipboard for log and operating pos was the drivers seat of my car. A touch less posh than some shacks G4CKH Due to a shack relocation and taking down my long wire antenna, it completly slipped my mind about the cc cw thus i only caught the last half hour. Still -- enjoyed none the less. G4DDX Much better conditions,I was able to spend longer running this time and enjoyed it. Bands certainly better now. I used SD as usual G4EBK Cdnx good through to the end. SD 10.15 still working perfectly. G4FAL Up the Blades - promotion next season? G4FKA Completely rewired antenna and feeder so normal service resumed! Good signals and good conditions throughout. |
