Results - 80m Club Sprint 2008
Individual Sessions - 11th SEP SSB
G4WUG Started late, but lots of activity on the band (very noisy though). Very good format ... more contests should be this way! M0PTR 80m QRN worse every contest - S9+ before sigs! G4CKH/P Enjoying a caravan holiday 40 miles up the coast. Switched rig on for a pre-arranged sked to find the band jumping with contest stations. No chance of making my sked so joined in the fun and made contact with my pals after the band went quiet. All good fun! G4OOC Enjoyed the contest even tho the band was noisy. G3VQO Only the last half-hour as the "Tour of Britain" cycle race coverage on TV was more attractive than a contest on SSB! Thought I'd got the wrong date as I started tuning from the top - all the activity seemed to be below 3650. G3WVG Only managed the last 15 minutes. |
Checklog received from M0ITY - Tnx SOAPBOX: GW4BLE Antenna repaired since last time - certainly makes a difference G4FSU My first sprint. Enjoyed the format, still needs more people on though - very slow at times. And no-one told the QRN gods that summer was cancelled this year! G4RCG Very noisy and slow start, lots of EU stations not very happy with the contest. I heard quite a few nasty comments from them to stations trying to work the test. Apart from that, enjoyed it but activity was definitely down on last time. G0MTN More activity this time. Horrendous QRN, coupled with several band policemen made it an upsetting experience. G8FCQ Good fun as ever! G4FNL Not quite a sprint - more a leisurely stroll! Let's hope we can get more people joining in the future Sprint contests. My thanks as ever to everyone for the QSOs. G4FAL Lots of static and too few participants - but fun, nonetheless. G3HRH Bit noisy but very enjoyable. Haven't yet got the hang of whose frequency it is, but I'm not the only one! G4ZFE Despite the heavy QRN, inter-UK signals were good. Some regulars were missed. MM0GPZ Started 25 minutes late due to other commitments. Think I have the longest name in the test. Everyone I worked except Graham G4FNL had a shorter name. I'll maybe morph into GOR for the next one :-) GW0ETF Impressively high noise levels on the band. G3RRL First Sprint contest - and very enjoyable. G0VGS Sometimes difficult conditions but good signals all round. Great fun again! PA40MIR For once home on Thursday evening decided to hand out my special call in this event. In spite of the problems I think everybody got it right, HI! G7SKR Vy QRN at the start and slow going. Seemed to be even fewer people than the last one. Still fun, though. G0FYX Getting used to the format now. G3ZHE A good night for low-lying North Cheshire. Lots of fun. G0KYS Seemed quieter than last month, but still fun. G6UBM Noisy, but fun. G0ICJ High static levels. The Sprint contest is fun. I have now downloaded the latest SD, which works very well. G4GZB This was a first time for me! I enjoyed the challenge and certainly made good use of the SD programme. |
