PA0MIR Just missed my target of 75 QSO's. But will try again next time Very good activity for this short event PA7PYR Nice contest |
SOAPBOX: 2E0AIVFirst Contest not high score but happy with first cont found this program easy to use 2E0RFS Very noisy band conditions 2E0TQR Enjoyed my first attempt at a SSB Contest, will do better next time. 2E0ZDA Lots of QRP. I loved it!!! G0AAA There were a few "unbeleiveably" strong signals on the band tonight. Sadly mine wasn't one of them! Is it simply conditions and location? My 100w to a dipole at 70ft from Surrey wasn't in the same league! G0AFQ Good Conditions G0AJJ Heavy QRM but good fun! G0AOJ Band was very crowded, very good conditions and low noise level here. SD is brilliant contest logging software G0DAY What a racket- This contest appears to get more people entering this contest every month - can't be a bad thing though. Space is now much used up-how can theses contests keep expanding ? G0DVJ Good conditions. Not many Europeans as previous sessions Good fun as always G0EUN Very good conditions, but crowded. G0FYX Plenty of activity. SD faultless. G0HIK Good Fun, band got very noisey after 50 mins. G0HSA First time over the 100 qso barrier. A big improvement on last month's efforts. Can't wait for the final series in July SD was faultless as usual G0IIQ A most enjoyable evening G0KYS Started 10 mins late, so no prep. Got lucky at 0830 and found a frequency. However another station started up 1kHz up and stopped anyone hearing me - great! Struggled on with S&P for last 20 mins. G0LGJ/M Laptop batt failed 20:00 gmt. Hayfever bad! enjoyed contest G0MTN Antenna fell down before the contest - most of it was at 10 feet. Didn't feel as loud as usual, but being in the Midlands helped for the mid-summer session. G0OKF Conditions improving since last round. SD is as named --super.. G0ORH/P Used my K2/100 which I built last year, and battery power for the first time on SSB. The K2 was excellent. I think I worked everything I heard. Did not S & P. Laptop battery just made it. G0RAF Problem with psu voltage. Thank you to all those who managed to work me. Well done to the stations who were being jammed by music, blank carriers and recordings of other contest contacts and still kept going. G0UIQ good contest tnks to all G0VZQ Used it Post contest this time until I gain experience It is still useful. G0WHO Very enjoyable mutual interference with fax G0WJX SD was excellent for warning of dupes. G1OAC too much qrm 9+ could not make out any calls only hear locals G1RVP enjoyed the contest.Thanks to all contacts. G3GLL Lots of QRM ! SD worked fine G3HRH Very busy but enjoyable. A lot of very strong signals Managed to get through the QRM most times G3IZD Noise and continental QRM rapidly increses after 1950. G3LHJ Enjoyable as ever activity still quite high - holes still hard to find and hold Hi. one more to go for 2008. 73 de Derrick G3MGW This is a great contest with many operators enjoying it SD is easy to use and makes looging so simple. I use a simple antenna and 50Watts everyone can join in G3MXH Band conditions quite good but hard to work through the QRM at times. Nice to be back on the air at my new QTH. G3NDJ enjoyed contest. sd good to use G3PHO Wow! Things went like a bomb for the first 70 mins then I foolishly left my run frequency, which I'd used from the start, to go hunting.. a big mistake as my scoring rate dropped. Still, I can't grumble with over 130 QSOs . A terrible S9+ 30 noise above 3670kHz made the top section unusable here. G3PYC For me SD is indispensible G3RRL Good contest again enjoyed working for the 90 minutes. G3RSD Used "sd" worked perfectly G3SJJ Propagation around UK seemed good with many 2Eo and M3 stations. I experienced some deliberate jamming but the DSP filtering on the K3 worked efectively and no QSOs were missed. G3SVD A good way to spend an evening, 1 hour run mode then the skip seemed to change so I moved to S&P and finished quite pleased with myself. I was amused to be given a serial number of 230 after about an hour by another competitor, I queried it twice and was told it was correct. I really do like this contest format. I wonder if when we get some sunspots to make it worth while some HF contests could be organised in this short but regular format? G3TBK Very noisy conditions tonight.. G3TKF Good conditions and low qrm for a change ! G3TXF Even with an identical station and antenna results can vary dramatically from one 80m CC to the next. A freq which appears to work reasonably well in the first few minutes of the contest can, if unlucky, soon descend into a bottomless pit of miscellaneous noises, continental nets and splatter from both sides. It's all part of the fun of the 80m CCs! G3VCA A good contest spoilt only by certain people deliberatly tuning up and making derogatory comments about contests G3VIP RIG IC7000 10W - 50M LW - Homebrew logger a struggle on QRP G3VPW Ran the first hour then S&P until the end, still don't have the balance right ! G3YEC Why oh why do some stations just repeatedly only say "QRZ" and never give their callsigns for several calls. They rely on "us" calling them but for how much longer. In a contest you cannot wait for ever for his call only to learn you worked him 10 minutes G3YOA Used SD as usual G3ZBU Downloaded latest SD this afternoon but left it on 10m band so had to manually 'fix' the log! G3ZGC Very noisy QTH but somehow managed ok. Antenna 132 ft wire wrapped into 55 ft garden ht 40ft. 100w. IC7700. G3ZHE single op 100w low good night 73 albert G3ZVW Plenty of activity and plenty of QRM to go with it. G4ARN/P great fun but would be better if the practice of "reserving the frequency" is stopped somehow G4DDX Enjoyed the contest, did not lose my voice this time after taking tablets.Used SD which makes it so easy.and my score is getting better G4ERW Spent too much time trying to find 'clear' (!) frequencies! G4FNL Conditions seemed good for inter-G QSO's. It was nice to have a reasonable rate throughout the contest. Thanks to everyone for the QSO's. G4FSU Bit of a rush - arrived back from airport 15 minutes before the start. Rig wouldn't talk to logger, SWR horrible, so just carried on anyway! G4GZB Enjoyed the contest. All went well. SD worked well again. G4IUF Another good night G4OOC The band was definitely crowded good condx SD really is SUPERB G4RCG Very noisy start with extremly strong qrm but just steady way did not go S&P untill the last 20 mins and managed to pick up quite a few more. Very enjoyable, SD G4VUD Conditions good, not much north & south, plenty east & SD works very well, getting the hang of it now G4ZGP Would prefer a better aerial for 80m G7SHG thanks to all stations |
