RSGB Contest Committee

G4DBW
Elecraft K2 5 watts output G5RV antenna
Good conditions great fun

G4ERW
High activity but only average operating on my part!
Pleased to be one of 5B/G4ODV's 12 QSO's!

G4FKA
Best CW score so far. Band jam packed; it was like a CW sandwich in there!

G4FNL
GREAT INTER-G CONDITIONS.

G4JRY
Pleased to hear some newer callsigns taking part

G4LPD
FT920 + DIPOLE

G4PIQ/P
What great fun. I haven't done one of these in anything close to anger
in ages - if at all. Missed the first 8 minutes due to not realising
it was on and doing family stuff and hobbled along for another 5 or
so while I got everyone settled. 101 good QSOs was very satisfying for
this wet noodle station, no band map & no second Rx and hand sending.
K2/100, 100W, 25m end fed sloping from 5m to 2m agl.

G4RCD
Seemed hard work tonight. Never got a good run going
and start was particularly slow. Perhaps I chose a
bad run frequency though I seemed to have enough space!
Used SD by EI5DI with Winkey. They both worked great.

G4RCG
Good session just steady for the 1st hour then went off
picking off the ones I missed used SD with ESM and what
a difference that made for me it was great

G4SLE
used sd thanks
enjoyable as always

G4WGE
Late start due to evening meal being served later than
usual. Musn't complain or I'll be making my own in future!
High levels of local QRM for half the contest. And a
bit slower than previous sessions.

G8LED
Slow start - picked up later on

GM0DHZ
used a paper log

GM0ELP
Great condx good manners excellent contest
keyer delay on radio too high at start and kept
missing first letter changed to Full QSK after
wasting some time at start
SD worked flawlessly used ESM for whole contest

GM3JKS
Reasonable condx
Spent some enjoyable time in the QRS section

GU0SUP
100W class. Good fun as always. The GM's were stronger this time too!
Also nice to work some non-G's as well.

GU4WTN
QSB during first half hour was BAD! Conditions "down south" picked up towards the end

GW4ALG
Good conditions throughout the session with
propagation to most parts of the UK and into mainland
Europe. There appears to be continuing interest in
the 10W section. How about a QRP section next year?
Home made transceiver. Five watts to a G5RV.

GW4MVA
Heard the cacophony so joined in !!

HA1CW
RIG: Ft-920, 100 W out.
ANT: Dipole

M0AAC
enjoyed the contest only second time

M0AJT
Condx good plenty of activity to keep busy
Used Super Duper logger and enjoyed doing so
Thanks Paul EI5DI

M0ERA
SG-2020 running 10W into 42m offcentre fed antenna up 7m.
Pleasurable as always.

M0JBW
first contest I have ever done found it hard going
but enjoyed doing it I hope that the people I worked
were understanding with my slow operating
I hope to try it again in the next one

SOAPBOX:

2E0KOP
IC7400 50w W3DZZ
Thanks all of you who worked me. nice to see some familliar calls again

DL4CW
awful qrn so visiting the local pub would have
been nice either - if we had one hi

F/G3MXH/P
First attempt to support my club from my
holiday cottage in Soane et Loire dept.
Conditions seemed to be good with all areas of the UK
contactable.
Thanks for your efforts on adjudication etc.

F6FTB
rig is the K1 from elecraft at 5 watts, antenna is a 2x20 m dipole

G0ADH
Conditions were very good at this QTH

G0DAY
Good conditions and made a reasonable score
in QRP

G0FYX
Good activity. Enjoyable.

G0GDU
FT1000 10W ANT=W3DZZ @ 28 FT
GOOD CONDX AND PLENTY OF ACTIVITY

G0GKP
Enjoyed this one good fun

G0IBN
quiet but enjoyable

G0LHZ
Enjoyed the contest not much QRM this time

G0MTN
Amazingly couldn't find a clear spot in non-QRS section before start so
started with S+P. Found a few spots to call later on, but tellingly I
appear down against my 'peers' performance this time as a result.

G0OKF
Hard work at my location on a noisy band.
My antenna is not up to the job.

G0PSE
SD IS FB

G0RDO
My Best Score yet! Yippee!
Spent all the time calling. Seemed to work this time.
Used SD logging and it is a JOY to use.

G0RTN
Great conditions tonight helped me to a personal best.
Was jammed for 6 minutes by a lid who called me an
'idiot contester'. Ever look in the mirror mate?
Don't conditions change quickly from week to week at
this time of year!

G0VQR
Fantastic contest. I beat my personal best with 105.
The band conditions were great. The G5RV runs east west
so a great take of to the north / south.

G0WWD
PLENTY OF ACTIVITY AND FAST CW. A LITTLE TO FAST AT TIMES!

G3GLL
SD V12 16 worked fine except for a few "funnies" with winkey
Conditions not bad with lots of activity hence lots of QRM!

G3HKO
Poor effort. Hard going but worked two continentals this time. Thanks to all

G3HRH
The QRS corral was almost empty. Busy but with some QSB

G3IZD
Demonstrating a CW contest to some club members
so a little slower than usual condx good
and not too noisy/The QRS corral is too big
for the genuine guys who might use it.

G3JRM
I wish we had a few more cw ops in our club so that
they could enjoy these lively short contests
great fun !

G3KNU
Another enjoyable contest. Skip went long about halfway
through then shortened.
SD's ESM works a dream well done Paul

G3LHJ
Lots of Activity again difficult to find a hole!!

G3LIK
Late on parade had another meeting to attend

G3LRS
jUST ENTERED LATE AFTER COMPLETING CLUBS FOX HUNT
THOUGHT WOULD JUST GIVE A FEW POINTS AWAY
VERY ENJOYABLE SESSION

G3LZQ
ALL SP except HA1CW from my 1st effort on QRP Rig Orion MK-1 10watts. Dipole at 75ft

G3MIR
I used SD for logging - it's great.

G3OLB
When the run frequency goes quiet, search and pounce and it pays off!
TS850 + Dipole at 80 ft

G3ORY
My logging program crashed at the very start and the
frantic reboot was imperfect. Apologies to all for the
consequent poor keying.

G3RIR
First time QRP CW and found conditions excellent with UA4, YL, LY, PA,
DJ, F all in the log as well as the G's!

G3SET
GOOD CONTEST - THANKS
CONDX GOOD AT START BUT VARIABLE WITH QSB ABOUT HALF THRO.

G3TBK
SOME FLUTTERY AURORAL SIGNALS TONIGHT, ESPECIALLY THE RUSSIANS WHO CALLED IN
FT1000, 100W DIPOLE AT 66 FT - TOO WINDY TO HAVE TOWER FULLY EXTENDED
EACH ROUND SEEMS TO GENERATE MORE ACTIVITY! LONG MAY IT CONTINUE
SLOW START BEGAN TO THINK I HAD TIMES WRONG WHEN FIRST 4 CQS UNANSWERED

G3TLH
Conditions good. Improved on my previous scores.

G3TWG
Unfortunately I had a late start due tooperator error.
Otherwise I enjoyed the contest

G3TXF
The GM's were more numerous and louder than usual early on.
Excellent conditions all round. With every CC there are new
stations to be found. The Three A's CG entry (6 stns) worked
188 different calls in this CW CC, which suggests there were
at least 200 stations active in total.

G3VCA
Two Wave Delta Loop & new IC756,used for the first time.
Had deliberate QRM on & off for 1 hour from a station.
"no 'test' on this freq" no call sign given but followed
me around the band sending a series of v's when stations
called me - very annoying. Operated 3.562 to 3.569

G3VIP
RIG FT301S 10W - 40M LW - HOMEBREW LOGGER
GOOD CONDX TOO MUCH OPEN SPACE IN QRS CORRAL

G3VQO
lost some time and momentum near the start when I
received a "bad signal" report. It seems that a dodgy
connection was allowing RF back into TX. Fixed it and
had a pretty good contest after that (by my standards)

G3WVG
Excellent condx.
100W ..ts930s.. dipole @ 20M

G3YMC
Another fun session, and conditions inter-G very good.
I welcome the change in time, the end time is far more civilised!
73 Dave

G3ZGC
Great Conditions

G3ZHE
Another fun night with my 756 pro3 into a 130ft doublet at 30ft and a paper log HI. Thanks for all your efforts.

G4AIU
Program crashed on first QSO - after that I had a senior moment!!

G4ARN/P
good fun but plagued by static

G4BYG
Stayed in S&P till 15mins from the end and steady rate achieved.

M3CVN
Wow great inter G condx and plenty of Gs around my best CC score
since the start of the contests managed to find and keep two run
freq. Even managed to find one at the end of the contest

M3WCK
A bit disappointing. I made a better start than last
time but wasted a lot of time in the middle trying to
make contacts which did not work out.

MM0BQI
Loud signals all night. Good fun!

PA0FAW
Nice test. I started with clg cq for 5 minutes no
takers so went on with calling stns. Still wondering
abt the fast cw used in this kind of contest

YL3DX
Only 50 QSO this time. There was very noisy band. Hope next time will be better.
Best 73 & DX! Alec/YL3DX

M0PTR
Rig: IC-7400. Power: 100W. Ant: 23m Doublet at 10m

M0UNI
Could only be on the air for 1 hour.
Had a lot of fun.
Thanks to all, looking forward to the next leg

M0MDF
condx not bad
