Individual Sessions - 24th SEP CW
G4FNL It was another slow contest. Activity levels were disappointingly low. Thanks to everyone for the QSO's and to Paul EI5DI for the logging software. G4OGB Where did everyone go for last 30 mins? SD worked fine G4PIQ Only able to get on for an hour. Missed several - obviously wasn't loud enough with this antenna! Missed at least 2 who were < 2 kHz from my last QSO. Needs about double the activity! but fun! G8FCQ As a Gee Ate ((Class B)) CW not really my thing. Thank goodness for ability to op using MIXW2 & PC. Apolgies to all real CW ops out there ! GM3ZBE Missed the first 10mins. First attempt at a sprint, very confusing! Amazing how many people seem to have been re-christened! Hopefully I will improve with time! SD with ESM really worked smoothly with the sprint format. GW0ETF Conditions appeared to drop right out at the end and it became a real struggle.... GW4BLE Missed start - not QRV until 19:26. PG7V Had to call CQ for a long time sevral times, hope there will be more stations QRV next time. |
SOAPBOX: EI5DI Enjoyed it! Getting used to the Sprint format. G3GLL Rather slow going - need a few more to join in! G3HRH Good signals to Cornwall this time. Some strange names which do not seem to conform to the rules G3JRM Still find the logging and frequency changes confusing. Not very many newer calls active mostly stalwarts heard here though very enjoyable mid week outing G3KKP As before, very enjoyable and an interesting variation on the norm.Band quiet here in Yorkshire. SD worked well as in all the other tests ! G3LDI Spent some time in the first 30 mins trying to get my macros sorted! It was my first Sprint and it felt very strange giving full sequence of calls each time. The QSY aspect also takes some getting used to,but very enjoyable however! G3LIK Slow going this evening, not so many stations on. Good conditions though.... G3RWL Call it a sprint ! hands and knees would be faster than this.... G3TXF This is not a Sprint, it's barely a crawl! How about splitting it into two sessions of 30 minutes each, spaced 30 minutes apart? [i.e the total length remains at 90 minutes but with a 30 min gap]. Entrants can work the same station in each of the two sessions and the serial number would be sequential across the two 30 minute sessions. The score would be the total across the two thirty-minute sessions. That way we might get a bit of buzz into this Sprint! G3VQO Seemed even less activity than previously !!! G3WVG I found it Very difficult to maintain interest after the first 20 or so QSOs. Things can only get better. I'm pleased I wasn't around for the whole 90 mins! G3ZRJ Slow going compared with my first session. Nice to be called by G3LCK. If a 77 year old can take part then where are the younger gang? SD logging worked perfectly - Thaanks Paul. Thanks to all for an entertaining 90 mins G4BUO Still need more activity! G4CKH Very slow going after the first 45 minutes, wondered whether to go to the pub early. G4EBK Another poor turn out, think I worked everyone.. G4FAL We need to encourage our radio clubs to join in with these sprints. I like the format as there is no advantage in babysitting a frequency before the start. Thanks to all for the QSOs. G4FKA Forgot all about it until nearly 20 minutes in! Quick scrabble to get things working and all was go. Only my second sprint so still getting the hang of it. Conditions OK but little activity. |
