Individual Sessions - 10th June CW
G4MEM Failed to get traction this evening - seasonal variation for us up North? G4OOC Excellent Band conditions. SD performed without fault G4PIQ First time I've been able to concentrate properly on one of these for ages and very pleased to break 100 QSO barrier by big margin. A nice target for small home station in town with just a G5RV with one leg @ 8m and the other leg wound round the garden fence! Very low tech - all QSOs manually keyed G4RCG Nice and steady all through the session not much noise and very little qrm for a change not too many EU's on. G4RGK Dupes- G3LDI = 69/91 G4FAD = 44/92 G4RQI Much better now I've got an antenna that radiates :-) G4WUG Very good contest again lots of stations on. Thanks for the points. G8MIA Good conditions throughout contest GM3ZBE Bit of a struggle tonight could establish any sort of decent run mostly not very productive S&P. Some very clicky CW qrm! GW0ETF This felt almost relaxing after NFD at the weekend and WPX the weekend before that... GW3KDB FT1000MP 100WattsDoublet at 45Ft. Conditions seemed better tonight for us out West. M0CES Running qrp for a change and not too bad for a low inv vee M0ITY FT817 on battery / 2.5W. Some weird lenght of wire running zig zag around my sisters garden. (my definition of baby sitting) qrt 20:48 M0MDF Not bad but the band seemed to collapse a bit in the last half hour. M0NQN Joined contest late - kept busy throughout on s&p M0PTO Thanks to those who QRS when needed! M0VBY Great fun - tnx to all M0XIE Not too busy. Lots of QRN M5ALG good fun this time around MW0RZC super OH/G4FSU An interesting variation - 80MCC with the midnight sun in Finland! Terrible QRN & a daylight path made for tough going but thanks to those who pulled me through. Thanks also to Paul for SD which was running on my little linux portable. OZ/G4DDL I worked all the Gs I could hear calling CQ. Did not CQ myself. I did not call any non-G stations as I was not sure if non-G to non-G was allowed. Hope this counts for Bracknell's score Nice to hear who was strong in OZ from home PA0MIR Home just in time for the start of the contest so am not unhappy with the 80+ contacts this time. A few non-G stations also called me when CQ-ing so points are slightly less. Always nice to meet the old friends. Hope to see you all agsin after the summer holidays in the sprints. PG7V Propagation could be better high noise level but enjoyed to be in this contest again. |
SOAPBOX: DL2SAX 100% s&p F/G3LET/P K1 limited by available battery power to 2W. Very deep and rapid QSB made it hard to make it as far as the UK. Thanks to G3KLH for at least identifying the main call if not the twiddly bits! Location Cannes. G0AZS Thanks for a fun evening. G0CLP/P Finally sorted out my ant problem. Good fun G0FYX Enjoyable and friendly. SD works well. G0GDU 10W into W3DZZ trapped dipole @ 26ft G0IBN enjoyable evening not too much QRM G0MLY Good fun as these CW events all seem to be. Were there a lot more clicky signals around tonight however? Enjoyed my first taste of running tonight which is a bit scary when you've never done it before so thanks to all who QRS'd when I needed it! G0VGS Very enjoyable tonight condx quite good for a change. G3GLL Going quite well until the laptop gave up! My apologies to the station I was working at the time and couldn't remember my serial number! Thanks to SD-it has preserved the log! G3HRH Very busy. Some poor keying at times from stations trying to send too fast G3IZD condx a little different from last month in that less QRM from EU and EU stns less strong. G3JRM good to hear so much activity post nfd or maybe it acts as an encouragement to participation? nice conditions here on the eastern tip of east anglia though a definite sea change around half way through G3KLH Had major problems with my computer G3LDI Band seemed lively and managed a mixture of S&P and Run but can never G3LHJ Did not think there were so many on this time felt it hard going and could'nt get a run going - guess the 10Wts not so loud this time Hi. Good fun though cu in the next one G3MIR Condx fair G3OLB Not too crowded tonight but the going was a bit slow. G3PHO I should have been signing /MM tonight as about 3 minutes before the end I noticed water spreading around my feet! There had been torrential rain all afternoon and evening and the water table seems to have risen above my shack floor which is in a converted cellar!! Apart from a few gallons of water and some drying out of carpet tiles using all the towels in the house I enjoyed the contest. Conditions were very good and I managed to run the frequency for the full 90 minutes. G3PSM Whoops - had forgotten CC was on so a little late in joining. G3SJJ Used the contest to re-visit Enter Sends Message technique. A very efficient way of maintaining "rate" but care neeed when interspersing messages on the external keyer. Nice session with good intra-UK activity. Downside was too many people sending my call with their exchange. G3SVD Some problems with Fish Fone but that was all G3TBK Great condx tonight good inter-g and some longer haul eus.Why wasn't the rate so high on 8om in nfd ft1000 100 watts dipole at 55 feet. G3TLH Quite good conditions though signals up and down G3TXF Started a bit late. Couldn't get the keying to work properly. Did S&P for the first 30 mins. Probably not good for the score but at least I won't be missing several of the heavy CQers as sometimes happens. G3VCA Maybe my age or is the auto morse brigade getting faster. Long live real sending and receiving. Computer Morse and PSK31 should be packaged separately. G3VDB Different Condx - some weak sigs. Rapid QSB Long - gaps to CQ and my first "pile-ups" - maybe laying radials was worth it. G3VIP RIG IC7000 10W - 40M LW - Homebrew logger Found a frequency just before 2000 and managed kept it not bad running a genuine 10 watts. G3VPW Despite thunderstorms forecast around found band quiet and made my objective of 100 contacts (plus 1) Bit more S&P early on then found a good run frequency to finish the last 25 minutes G3WRR S9 noise was back after merciful absence most of the last CW session - worked everything I could hear G3WVG Home late from work so .just managed the last ten minutes. A few unfeasibly enormous signals heard. G3YHV Soapbox G3ZBU qrp mode so S&P this time. QRO mode stops the internet connection and the washing machine! G3ZGC/A Thanks again Gus G3LLK for borrowing your FB QTH and antenna. Rig IC775DSP set to 10w to dipole up 50 ft. A noise free location. I wish the home QTH was! G3ZRJ Good inter-G condx. Several regulars missing G3ZVW Good conditions and plenty of activity. Got squeezed off my run frequency by commercial SSB late in the event. Grrr. G4ABX Good contest. Lots of weak signals! G4BRA This month the CC was done from our club QTH as it was a club meeting night. I G3YMC did all the operating with occasional visits from the other members to see what contests were around - they had another station on HF next door. A good evening conditions good and no static problems and plenty to work. 73 Dave G3YMC and BARC members G4BUO Flushed with success from NFD I kept the rig at 10w and it seemed to work pretty well! Plenty of stations to work G4DBW Visitors half way through curtailed this months effort. Must disconnect the doorbell next time ! G4FAL Tried to get to 100Qs and just made it G4IUF Bit slow tonight not the usual late rush G4LMW Conditions seemed good. Had some nice runs in the quiet QRS section. Very civilised! |
