SOAPBOX: 2E0TQR Really enjoyable. Thank you G0AAA 100W FT1000MP dipole at 65ft G0FYX Took a bit of getting used to. Enjoyable G0KYS My first sprint. Good fun, and a refreshing change to the normal format G0MTN Certainly my half hour of operating was fun and frantic, not sure if this would last for the 90 mins G0VGS Great fun, even managed to confound the IQ zeros :) G3LIK Too much QRN which was S9 and with two hearing aids very difficult to hear stations. Lots of continental QRM and lots of actual QSO's not in the contest made it very difficult. G3RWL If they're all as slow as this I won't bother next time G3TXF Again as on CW, there's a lack of critical mass of activity to make this contest buzz. We need double the number of stations and possibly a more limited use of the band G3ZHE Good fun but lots of QRM with Euro skip all over. 100w, 90ft doublet at 30ft and 30ft asl G4BUO Even slower than the CW leg. We NEED the 80m CC entrants to get involved in the sprints as well, to make them more fun! G4FNL The first of the RSGB SSB Sprint contests. It was a bit slow, and it could do with a few more competitors. Perhaps things will improve over time. I did find myself slipping into the trap of automatically sending signal strength reports - oops! G4HSU FT-897 Doublet antenna G4OOC Enjoyed the contest no end G4RCG Great fun again really enjoyed it and SD was super with the frequency readout showing you the right place to S&P and CQ G4TQF Good event, very enjoyable and relaxed format compared to the CW event which, to me, was very daunting. Quite a lot of deliberate QRM'ing by operators using data modes suggests to this operator some thought/consideration needs to be given to other users of the bands. Would less rather than more power help? Reduce rather than increase band scope? G4ZFE K3, 100W to W3DZZ at 28 feet. My first SSB Sprint and great fun G7SKR My first Sprint-style contest. Seemingly fewer people about. Enjoyed the format. G8FCQ 1st ssb sprint pleasant & friendly GW0ETF A rare foray into phone contesting and an intermittent mike plug connection kept halting proceedings. Enjoyable nonetheless and particularly enjoyed the super smooth VOX of the Elecraft K3. GW4BLE My usual 80M dipole was found to be u/s just twenty minutes before the contest (it had been fine a few hours earlier), so had to revert to a 1/4 wire (sloping West). M5FUN Lots of noise on the band here. Sufferring also from a cold so just really giving points away. Last CC Sprint before going back to university, hopefully can be QRV again from MM land! MM0GPZ Only active last 40 min. Used SD but didn't know how to configure rig control at short notice. But SD worked well other than that. |
