G4OOC Band condx were pretty good. I always enjoy using SD G4RCD Kenwood TS-680S at 100 Watts output. Dipole, fed with open wire feeder, at 30 feet (max). Was doing OK until the last half an hour when my QSO slumped! SD + Winkey worked flawlessly. G4RCG Very noisy band tonight but was a steady run right thru to the last 15 mins thenw went s&p picked up the last few, good fun as usual G6AY Thought I would try a different aerial. Used a doublet with a 100 foot top and fed with 450 ohm feeder. Never again. Back to a full size dipole feed with good old coax feeder for the next leg. G8FCQ My first outing on a cw contest great fun thanks to all who perservered with my exchanges see u all again GM0ELP Great signals tonight. Strangely the strongest signal rx'd was from the Scottish borders. Mostly G3s audible from here. TNX to all who worked me. GM3POI The total contest is now in daylight No wonder there are limited numbers of GM qrv. May-July should be 90 minutes later GM4BZP regret I had to finish early since had not eaten since breakfast. GW0ETF Just made it in time after celebrating xyl's birthday in a local Indian restaurant. Not the best way to digest a huge curry! GW3KDB TS 870 100 Watts. Doublet at 45 ft. GW4BLE Missed first twenty minutes. M0CES Three dupes and one missed number. Oh well !! M0CNP Good conditions and plenty on the band. Good! Thanks for points everyone M0KOP vy challenging with new antenna, different settings on clubs new rig, which I am trying to get to grips with, paper logging to begin with, grt when it worked ok, otherwise ug!! Tks to the om for sorting it out. M3WCK Another enjoyable contest. Steady contacts through out 90 minutes M3ZYN First attempt at SD (Post-Contest). Still testing it M5ALG A better night from me. Conditions excellent MM0RKT Good conditions, for once! YL3DX Very bad condx this everning. IC-756PROIII 100w, ant Dipole. |
SOAPBOX: G0DAY Good conditions, all S&P G0DVJ Good fun as usual. Conditions tough tonight, some deliberate jamming at times G0FYX Condx good. SD program excellent and easy to use. G0GFQ Finally getting the hang of this mode...Hi G0HSA A small improvement on the last cw contest. My receive speed still needs some work on it. Still struggling with the shortend contest exchanges. The highlight was SD performed well as usual G0IBN I realise there is not alot of space but i think it is just good manners to use qrl imi G0MTN Harder going than I thought. Lots of extra effort with 2nd VFO, changing run freq, and lots of S+P didn't seem to pay off... But the "challenge factor" was higher - not just sitting there calling CQ working stations has to be more fun, right ? G0OKF Had much RF feed back- origin not yet found. Hard work with RF Feed back. G0RAF Used SD Logger again G0WHO Problems with the USB ports losing both WINKEY and rig control G3GLL SD worked fine with Winkey 2 Good conditions Last half hour slow as usual ! G3HRH Hard going from Cornwall with deep QSB G3JNB Wkd all I could hear! G3JRM Very poor showing could not make myself heard on a very busy band G3LDI Computer problems - should have set up earlier - didn't solve it until 8.35. Shack was full of blue air!! G3LHJ Good condx - managed to find a hole this time for the first hour - lots of activity and a few more different calls logged. G3MIR condx hard going G3NCN Short entry due to keyboard fault on pc There may be some errors in this log! G3OLB Bit slower this evening but band quiet. G3PHO Rather slow off the mark tonight as a result of jet lag from recent VK/ZL trip. A sticky key paddle didn't help either when I had to use it for the slower ones! Good conditions and nice to see TK/PA3AM QRV in the contest. G3RXP In last 30 mins during SP, N1MM stopped talking to the rig. Good condx from Lincolnshire. G3SVD A pleasent evening spent S&Ping! G3TBK Seemed quieter than usual tonight, band not so crowded. G3TLH Conditions good for QRP G3TXF Conditions poor at the start but seemed to improve as time went on. Stuck on one freq for the whole time. Each time there seems to be one or two newcomers to the 80m CCs. Great week-day evening activity. G3UJE High winds during the winter period caused antennas here to be re-built putting me off the air for the past few months. It was therefore enjoyable to return to this contest with reasonable to good conditions throughout the period. G3VCA Enjoyable; without QRM this time. G3VIP Rig ic7000 10w - 50m lw - homebrew logger good night on low power, condx bit variable. G3VYI Lots to work with my ant for a change. Had to go out but high rate for a while! tnx to all. G3WRR After disappointing result in my last entry (traced to a broken wire in the old antenna), I put up a doublet which seems to go better but is more susceptible to barff from TVs. Also had troubles (now resolved) with the laptop not recognising Winkey and lost a lot of time - so not my finest hour! G3XYF very busy hi ! G3YEC SD great as ever. Conditions good this evening nice and steady signals. Still some BOOMING in from G land !! G3YMC Good conditions, reasonable activity, another good event G3ZBU Hardly an idle moment. Very enjoyable. G3ZGC As soon as I CQ'ed a foreign station tried to steal the channel. Otherwise a good contest. Rig IC7700 100w to 132 ft of wire bent into 55 ft long garden. G3ZHE Sorry I can't put Low into the log. 100watts into 90ft doublet at 30ft. A better night. Lots of fun 73 G3ZRJ Started brilliantly expected a big score but couldnt even reach 100 which was a real /////// G3ZVW A bit slow tonight, but at least there was no QRN. G4ARN/P Good fun G4CKH Lots of activity with big signals. G4DDX very crowded and improved conditions make for great fun.I just can't break that 100 mark though. Using SD makes it so easy to enter. G4EBK Conditions good from east coast for a change. QSB affected some stations more than others. Deliberate interferance for 5 mins but worked through it OK. G4ERW Good to see what seems to be an increasing number of continental stations entering these CC contests. G4FAL Great to work both familiar and unfamiliar calls, thanks. G4FKA Conditions seemed to come and go in waves with 3 or 4 distinct phases. Not as good as the April leg but a fair result all the same. G4GZB Sadly, arrived very late in contest. Conditions seemed to be quite good. SD was in use G4IUF Very Short last night, the guys near population centres inly had the advantage. Enjoyed using SD G4LMW Good condx throughout. Most enjoyable! G4OGB Guess I'm not the flavour of the month, or no-one could hear me, including G4ERW who came 200HZ lf! |
