GW0ETF

M0BGR
Very noisy band conditions I stuggled with QRP.

M0CES
worked all ops in my part of town then twiddled my
thumbs hearing nothing

M0CNP
VERY HIGH NOISE AND A MASSIVE SKIP DISTANCE MEANT VERY FEW
STATIONS AUDIBLE. EI3JE WAS AT TIMES 59+60! THINGS STARTED
TO IMPROVE AT 2120! A DISASTROUS START TO THE SEASON!

M0CRY
my first go had fun

M0DIW
AWFUL CONDITIONS

M0FRS
BAND VERY NOISY

M0MCX
Scotland stormed in early. West Midlands stations found it hard with
Long skip, QRM & QSB. Seemed to get better last 10 mins. Always fun!

M0MDF
What a lousy start to the competition. The band
was very noisy with lots of QRM and my 100 watts
was not enough to get through it all. Here's to
the next one!

M0PMZ
I had great fun. My dad M0PMZ was supervising me

M0RNE
Lots of QRM - band very noisy

SOAPBOX:

2E0ATY
CONDITIONS NOT GOOD LETS HOPE FOR A BETTER SCORE NEXT TIME

2E0BJM
Very hard to be heard with only 10 watts

2E0LIB
Very noisy conditions struggled all the way

2E0MJD
First contest of the season I have been able to do
condx lousy - worst score ever Looking forward to next
contest hope condx better!

2E0TLB
Very hard going but good fun.Nice to work GM and EI

2E1GUA
It was good fun and I was leat on.
Thank to all that worked me.
the loging software is SD from EI5DI very good.

2M0GPZ
Heard plenty of G's but they weren't hearing me.
Big sigs from Europe but not seemingly not interested.

2M0IVG
Quite a bit of QRM
Found it easy to use

2M0KDZ
Very hard work! All the propagation seemed to be one way. I could hear the English SOAPBOX: stations OK but they couldn't hear me. I could also hear F, DL, LX & LA stations (not in SOAPBOX: the contest) loud and clear

EI3JE
Good Fun, propagation good from here for a change.
Very Persistant deliberate jamming has a pain.

G0GDU
FT1000 with W3DZZ @ 26ft - 100W
Condx very noisy - started slow and then went down hill

G0IIQ
Terrible conditions

G0JLF
VERY NOISY! And Hard Work. Central UK stations weak

G0KDS
late starting early finishing

G0KPZ
Very long skip. Scotland and Ireland were prominent
Lots of noise

G0KYS
Not many Gs audible at the start but I did get the odd
run going. I think the skip length was short enough
to give a slight advantage to us guys in the SW over
the guys in the center!

G0MTN
Propagation for the "thinking man" - Search and Pounce rules !

G0RTN
Got on very late - found band noisy but alive when did

G0VJG
slow going

G0VQR
Great fun. Though for the first 15 mins in the contest
a station was deliberately keying up his radio while I
was calling CQ. I managed to work a few stations over
the QRM. Eventually he gave up and left me in peace. I
think the secret is not to respond to the other station
and let him think he is wasting his time.
Some times it works.

G0VYR
Hard going at first - better towards the end.

G0WLF
I used SD for logging - it's great.

G0WWD
Very hard going

G1FON
MY ANTENNA & LOCATION JUST AREN'T UP TO CONTESTS

G2BKZ
COMPUTER DISPLAY ON LAPTOP WENT U/S!!

G3BJ
That was tough ! Very weak G's and big European QRM !

G3GWB
Abysmal conditions! Skip very long and signals weak.

G3HRH
Heavy EU qrm
A good night for narrow brickwall filters
Pity I don't have any
Upper band was better than the lower after 21.00

G3KNU
Typical conditions for February - 'orrible
Roll on the light evenings

G3LDI
Dreadful conditions, fine for those in Ireland
or Scotland!

G3LHJ
What terrible condx - 95% EU & 5% G's only the big guns
/GM's could be heard down here in the SW except for the
last half hour.

G3LIK
Very difficult first hour due to long skp conditions.
Last half hour the skip changed and could actually
hear the G stations.

G3LZQ
What a drag hardest 90-mins ever.UK Signals were loudest during
last 10-mins
Yaesu FT1000MP 100w 80m Dipole @ 50FT

G3NLY
FT1000mp 10w. Inv. vee at 45' centre
Dire! but a mite better than the 24 last January.
Many quite strong stations were not even hearing me

G3NPF
I approve of the reduced duration and the change of
timing after the clocks change. The QRM was as bad as
ever and I really don't know why we subject ourselves
to this brain-ache year after year!!!! In general
the operating standards were good.

G3OLB
Transceiver TS850
Antenna - Inverted Vee Dipole at 80'
What a racket!

G3ORY
Unbelievable! Doing badly when condx rebounded and I
worked 25 stations in the last 10 minutes.

G3RHH
Hard going due to heavy QRM

G3RRL
VERY VERY NOISY & POOR SKIP FOR INTER G WORKING
FIRST TIME USING SD !!
USING COMPUTER WILL BE OK WITH PRACTICE

G3RWL
Crap condx

G3SVD
Whew! A difficult episode in this series of contests. For the first 30mins incredible noise and QRM
and almost impossible to work weaker stns. Things got a bit better after that but the only really
strong stns were from the continent. I did manage to hold a frequency throughout though and kept
a run going. Nevertheless it was fun and I finished with my head ringing from the qrm.

G3SWC
What a noisy intoduction to this years club champs!!

G3TBK
Awful condx, only those out on a limb appeared to have big scores
FT1000 at 100 watts, Antenna Dipole at 70 feet

G3TKF
Interesting quiet band !

G3TXF
Quite a struggle for the first SSB CC of the year!
Amazing variations in signal strengths. Conditions
picked up in the last 20 minutes or so.

G3VIP
RIG FT301S 10W ANT 40 MTR LW
HIGH NOISE LEVEL - LONG SKIP NBG FOR QRP

G3VQO
With foF2 down to 2.8 MHz before the contest, it was
always going to be difficult. After thirty minutes,
with a handful of locals and some GMs in the log, I
decided that watching "University Challenge" was a
better use of my time!!!

G3WVG
TS930S..100W..Inverted Vee 60ft.

G3WYW
Band very difficult for 1st 40 minutes but improved
towards the end. QRP much more difficult but pleased
with result.

G3WZT
SLOW START BUT GOT GOING IN THE END.

G3YHV
Conditions very poor as expected !

G3ZBU
Conditions very strange; Could not hear many stations

G3ZGC
Aweful conditions at the start.
My frequency was stolen twice.

G4ARN/P
band conditions very poor

G4BUO
Dreadful conditions. Had to work really hard for my 93 QSOs

G4DBX
I don't think band conditions could be any worse, quite a challenge!

G4DDX
long skip for most of contest Very noisy but still a
a few more points than last year

G4EBK
Very poor cdnx for most of the contest
picked up in the last ten minutes but
too late to make any impression on the score.

G4ELZ
Terrible local wide band noise 20 dB/S9 !!

G4EOF
Lets look forward to some propergation next time!

G4ERW
An enjoyable contests although high QRM levels and
generally weak UK stations made it hard going! I must
complete that K9AY switched loop for receive!
Big signals from EI DL etc.

G4FKA
Welcome back to the CCs. First entry with new rig (IC-756 ProIII).
Haven't quite got the audio side right yet and still learning how
to drive the filters. Fun grappling with the conditions!

G4FON
Appauling condx, the middle of England was certainly not the place to be tonight!
Several Strong stations, but I just could not raise them.

G4FPH
Rubbish - awful - dreadful - bad!

G4HSO
My first time in this contest. Lots of QRM noise.
and difficult to find clear QRG.
Hard work but enjoyable.
Thanks for all QSOs and the Contest Committee.
Used SD as logger - reliable as usual.

M0SOX
band conditions diabolical
QRM problems
Easy programme to use

M0SPC
Hard work very noisy on band

M1DDD
Load of QRM local. Windon 160 going back up!

M3ABC
Long skip made European QRM strong. Generally very difficult to be heard.

M3CVN
Vry poor condx can't wait till CW!

M3NTM
First time in this contest

M3TBK
GAVE UP DUE TO POOR CONDX AND HEADACHE, GETTING NOWHERE WITH QRP

M5ALG
conditions not very good here
It helps if i remember to connect the correct antenna!!

M5CSM

quite a bit in the last half hour.
