G4RCD
TS-930S at 100 Watts with Dipole fed with open wire feeder
at 40 feet (Max).
Operator rather rusty after a few months of no contests....
good to be back for a new year of 80m CC Contests.
Even the earthquake could not stop us!
Happy New Year to all.

G4RCG
Great fun 1st session with lots of stations on both EU and G condx
Ten Tec Orion Dipole @ 60'

G4RLS
Not my finest hour due to 20 over s9 plus QRM from a
neighbours Plasma TV UUGH! Conditions here were varied
with signals(those that rose above the QRM)up and down
in QSB so a run was out of the question as chances of
hearing those calling would be slim

G4WUG
Slow to start but came on well later on nice to see you all again.

G6AY
FT-2000. Dipole @ 50 feet

G7PVZ
Not a lot of inter G for the first third of the
contest. Lots of the normal QRM and fading.
Thanks to everyone.

G8CKT
Wasted a lot of time calling stations who couldn't hear me!

GI4DOH
Band very quite early on in GI

GI4FUE
very poor to start with, picked up later, all bar 4 qso's were S&P, first time entry in this test

GM0ELP
HNY all! Elecraft K3 80m doublet @ 20ft. Very noisy here. Missed
start of contest. Thanks to all who worked me.

GM3YEH
Poor conditions here for most of the contest. Things improved during the last 15 minutes but by then a decent score was a forlorn hope.

GM3ZRT
condx poor to begin with but picked up near the end

GW3KDB
Hard work tonight.

GW3YDX
First CC entered. Fun!

GW4BLE
Can only get better from here on......(apparently)

LY2CO
73 !
RIG: IC756; ANTENNA: Dipole

M0BPQ
Just a few Qs whilst watching Austin Powers on TV. Groovy!

M0CES
Dead at the top half of the band and long skip till 9pm.

M0MDF
Condx got better after 2100.

M0NQN
Had a certain amount of difficulty with 10W
for the first 40 mins!!

M0ORO
First CW contest - WOW - Will be back in Feb for
another beating. Things can only get better.
Enjoyed every minute.

M0SAR
QSB made things difficult for me but still had fun!

M0SEL
Poor conditions at the beginning but improving as the contest went on.

M0UNN
really slow start propagation improved when 15 minutes left

M0VAA
Doublet does not work well this this time of year. Onwards and upwards!

M5ALG
first of the year.conditions not too good at this end for inter g good for eu though.

MM0BQI
Happy New Year!
Good to get started on the CCs again. Very noisy here at the start with S8 across the band. Spent some time ensuring it was not the new CH boiler that was installed last week! Signals were much stronger towards the end. New home brewed trapped
dipole twisting its way round the garden worked okay. Need to work on the noise problem.
Thanks for the Qs.

MM0GPZ
First ever go at QRP. All S&P except 1 Q. Surprising. Several loud
stations CQ'd in my face and several I could just hear came straight
back to me 1st call. PA's and DL's were stronger than the G's for most
of the test.

MW0RZC
not many g staions heard until 2040 when condx picked up

OK1AY
TS-480SAT 100W FD4

ON3ND
Skip was not very favourable for me...

PA0MIR
Nice to meet you all for the first time this year. Probably will use no special call this year, but who knows???
PC600P and PA600MIR cards are sent via global QSL to all I worked last year.

Good activity and good fun as usual. See you next time again.

F5VBU
Sincere thanks for an excellent contest and a great pleasure to participate.
It would be nice to see admittance to European/Foreign calls by amateurs who still hold a current UK licence.

G0ADH
A bit rusty but nice to be back.

G0AFH
1st attempt at this contest from home. S9 QRM across the band from neighboring houses. Log typed up post event as didn't expect to work more than a hand full through the noise. K3 10W Inverted L

G0FYX
Quite busy. Condx good.

G0GDU
FT1000 with 10W into W3DZZ @ 28ft agl
Missed 1st 20 minutes skip very long up to 21:00 and then started to work mainly G's
Struggled with my QRP signal to break through the QRM

G0HFX
V poor condx--lots of local QRM--worked just about all I heard--tks to all who struggled with my QRP

G0HSA
Heavy QRM but managed to work some of the stronger stations in the contest. Now for the SSB leg for January

G0KYA
Bad condx at start, but then improved. Es critical frequency also came up to 2.95MHz at end.

G0LHZ
Very Noisy Band at start

G0MRH
Very noisy band and difficult to copy details for the first hour then band packed with stations.

G0NXA
Slow going but a good introduction to this years series of events.

G0OKF
Conditions only fair
my RF neighbour (abt 400yards away) could hardly be heard over the noise
SD as usual flawless

G0ORH
Weird condx last night plenty of eu activity.
K3 100w trapped dipole. G4fon logging software.

G0PSE
Condx poor to begin with but improved during the contest

G3GLL
Conditions very poor early on-
improved towards the end

G3HRH
Very variable propagation, Fcrit was below 3 MHz but fortunately an E layer formed for some of the time

G3IZD
conditions much better than Jan 2010 with 13 DXCC
on my little wire very promising for succeeding
contests.

G3JJG
A really good filter helped in the last 30 mins

G3KKP
Enjoyed the contest but not the
conditions here in this part of the UK

G3LDI
Slow start but propagation improved. Some benefitted from some Es

G3LHJ
Very changable condxs all through the contest
but enjoyable as ever - activity average.

G3LIK
Some long skip to start with and deep QSB
Nice to hear a lot of familiar calls in the New Year
Some very strong signals

G3MXH
Found conditions early on poor for Uk picked up better
towards the end.

G3MZV
Dreadful conditions until the last half hour when the skip shortened and the UK was a readable strength. YU, EA and SM were the strongest signals on the band for most of the duration. Great fun and hard work make it a great contest.

G3NKS
Conditions poor slow going.

G3OLB
I thought conditions were going to be long skip only but most Gs were excellent signals as well as the Europeans even North Africa and Cyprus.

G3PDH
Condx turned out better than expected for the first CC.

G3PHO
A very poor night indeed with an S7-8 noise level until ten minutes
before the end and over an hour of weak and watery G signals. This
the norm at this time of year and maybe we could start at 2100 in
future years ? :-) Anyway it was a good opportunity to try out the kit
I'll be using as VP2V/G3PHO in this year's BERU. Thankfully the
antennas and 80m conditions will be much better over there!

G3PND
First contest after being QRT for many years - thanks for your patience

G3SVL
Nice start to the year!

G3TBK
Plenty of activity unusual for January! Many UK stations weakbut Ron GW3YDX had things right though - S9+60!
Seems as though even more EU stations joining in this year. Wonder how many have been recruited by Contest Groups?

G3TLH
very difficult at start but then the band seemed
to "warm up" and conditions improved

G3UJE
FT1000MP Mk 5 Field; Vertical Quad Loop.

G3VCA
Long skip as usual - heavy QRN - deep QSB - oh boy.
Add rusty CW since July - recipe for the head ache.
ICOM 756Pro111 550ft delta loop 40 ft up

G3VDB
It's January - usual struggle for inter-UK working

G3VIP
RIG IC7000 10W - 40M LW - Homebrew logger
Condx variable EU sigs very strong band noisy

G3VYI
Condx to g seemed better later on !
lots of activity and EU too + 5B4AGN

G3WRR
FTdx5000 to inverted L, 50ft top at 20ft.
Not my finest hour...just as well I only came on to "keep the flag flying"
rather than doing a serious entry! Two unavoidable domestic interruptions
got in the way so I wasn't on long enough to form a sensible view of
conditions etc.

G3WVG
100W to a dipole at 20m.

G3XYF
Lots of QSB

G3YEC
Lost cable connection to el key and PC so most done
by GKA hand key ! Apologies to anyone who found me
difficult to work. Very long skip at start settled
down for last half hour.

G3YLA
First time using both N1MM and Flex 3000, very exciting at times with keyboard/window focus conflicts! Lots to learn, but shows great promise.

G3YMC
No inter-G propagation for the first half then somewhat noisy.
So rather down but understandable for Winter conditions.
Hope to have some more of our members on next time.
73 Dave

G3ZBU
Very quiet for the first half as if the aerial
had been chopped off! Luckily it all cheered up
by the end. It was good to blow the dust and
cobwebs off the straight key ;-)

G3ZGC
Rig IC7700 set to 10w.
Antenna 132 ft of wire wrapped into 55 ft garden. Up 40ft.
Variable conditions.
I could not go /A tonight.

G4ABX
Tough going for the first hour with QRP

G4AIU
Band conditions: noisy in IO80JX

G4ASR
Very poor conditions for most of the contest

G4BUO
Dipole up only 28ft thought I would do badly in January conditions
and QRM from nearby plasma TV but conditions changed and unusually
for this time of year closer-in Gs were loud.

G4DBX
Better late than never! FT1000MP MK5 Field 100 watts to an Inverted L

G4DDX
Poor to start with but better later. Was sat on when
station did not listen on qrg first.. Suffering a bit
from a fall on the ice so hope better next time

G4DJX
On late - sounded busy!

G4EBK
Slow start last 20 minutes great.
Yorkshire earthquake at 2100Hrs cleared the air :-))

G4ELZ
Very noisy here but enjoyed it

G4ENZ
Tough going at first then the band opened inter-G for the last 40 minutes

G4FAL
Conditions improved in the last 10 minutes

G4FKA
Classic January conditions. Dire for first hour then a mad rush in the last 30 minutes as the skip finally favoured the UK.

G4FON
You know it is going to be fun when the majority of the early contacts are from outside the UK!

G4FSU
Happy New Year to all!

G4HGI
first time on 80 m !! must do better :-)

G4HYG
My first CW contest entry in years...

G4KNO
Slow for the first hour as usual for the first session of the year. Where are all the slower ops??

G4LMW
A struggle for first hour, then conditions picked up.

G4LMX
Hard work for first 45 mins with lots of noise

G4LWB
V. Noisy at start but better later
some european activity

G4OSB
The time goes as quick as a flash.
It's good to join in the fun.

G4PIQ
