M0ERA Working PSK31 mainly. Unfortunately, there were several RTTY stations in the PSK band. But all in all good fun.

M0PTR Rig: IC-7400. Power: 30W. Ant: 23m Doublet at 10m

M0SPC Hard work this evening.

M0UNI Kenwood TS-570D worked very well as always. Latest version of my home made interface worked a treat. Used N1MM logger for the first time in this contest

M3CVN Well wasen't going to do data any more but the club needs the points! PSK: Some vry vry wide signals killing my whole screen RTTY: Can't people space out a bit more would make it easier for QRP to be hrd! O'well bring on CW again!

M3DVQ "FT1000 AT 10 WATTS, DIPOLE AT 75 FEET FT1000 AT 10 WATTS, DIPOLE AT 75 FEET
SOAPBOX: CONTEST SQUASHED BETWEEN DOING A-LEVEL MATHS AND CHEMISTRY REVISION PAPERS!"

M3TBK/P IC706 DIPOVE AT 30 FEET ON NFD SITE VERY DIFFICULT TO RECEIVE WITH NO FILTERS. SRI TO THOSE WHO CALLED ME AND DIDN'T MAKE QSO.

GU0SUP Seemed to be hard work from this far South. There were a few loud stations who weren't hearing me, and weak stations who got me first time. There were also many stations using AFC & NET, which made things more difficult.

GU4WTN Wondered what was going on with all the "split" frequency operation tonight but then the penny dropped..…Doooh, too many stations with the AFC / NET function activated chasing each other up and down the band

GW3GUX Once again RTTY stn in PSK segment.

M0ANM As usual an entertaining 90 minutes

SOAPBOX:

G0ADH Still having a bit of a problem with logging - more practice required

G0BXH I thought the RTTY operators were supposed to stay out of the PSK31 section of the band.

G0GDU No response to CQs, so stuck to Search & Pounce Assumed skip was not in my favour

G0JLF All q's serach and pounce Never seen sparks inside a PL259 before! Waited for the storm to go away before connecting the 80m antenna

G0MTN A quick sprint - 34 QSOs in the last 24 minutes of the contest. Looks like some great scores again.

G0THY Got a new keyboard 80m upsets it need to get that sorted the old one was ok but it broke

G3GLL What a racket !! I'll get the hang of it one day!!

G3HRH Sorry to the several who called me but went down in the noise Hard work this time

G3LHJ Lots of Activity but as always hard to penatrate the cenral wall from down here in the SW. but good fun enjoyed the challenge

G3ORY The band seemed more crowded than in previous data sessions

G3RSD GAVE IT MY BEST TRY.....MUST TRY HARDER

G3RZF Tough going this time!

G3SVD After some frustrating events in previous data mode events. this time everything worked more or less as it should. Good fun and enjoyable

G3TKF 60dB over 9 QRN put me off at the start - so a little late starting!

G3TLH Still learning about contesting with RTTY

G3TXF Yes, I'm slowly getting the hang of this RTTY stuff. Soon it'll be time to try PSK. Contest exchanges on RTTY are getting snappier, including my own!

G3VCA I cannot get on with this mode. Long live CW

G3VIP HOMEBREW LOGGER DEEP QSB - STATIC - HARD TO FIND CLEAR FREQ

G3VYE What a shambles here. A very late start, I had to operate from my workbench surrounded by tools etc. and I could not get MMTTY to work properly in contest mode. It's a wonder I made any contacts at all. Good fun though - beats watching the rubbish on the box !

G3WVG 100w TS930 Dipole at 70 ft ..Writelog with rttyrite

G3XSV Thunder storm raging 10 mins before start and well into the contest.

G3XZW Tonight we introduced some club members to digimodes RTTY appeared to be the favoured mode

G3YEC First time data mode

G3YOA LOW SCORE DUE TO TECHNICAL PROBLEMS

G4BCA TUNDERSTORM CAUSED A FEW PROBLEMS!

G4BYG Amusing to hear all the runners waiting for the starters gun.Just like a marathon here. First hour steady run but hit the wall as usual at 2100 and faltered to the finishing line.

G4EBK Strange conditions, very deep and fast QSB again. Poor first hour very good last half hour.

G4FKA Life and death stuff in the west tonight! Thunder, lightning, rain and static throughout and some very strange signals.

G4FPH Glad I bought some narrow filters for the RX!

G4FQI First contest outing!

G4OGB Lots of data corruption tonight, had to ask for a lot of repeats.

G4OIG My inverted vee dipole didn't want to work for me.

G4WGE MIXW crashed 5 times in the first 15 minutes Arghh - I hate computers!

G6BOX 80m in good shape tonight. Plenty of over 40db sigs. Good fun as usual.

G6FOP ENJOYABLE CONTEST

G7VRK good contest to night

GJ4CBQ 2nd go at Data. Much more enjoyable this time! Cascaded 500Hz filters + DSP helped a lot. Unlike last time, I practised using the RTTY software BEFORE the contest!

GM0ELP very relaxing plenty G3 stations ran for full contest used linear to save rig

GM3ZBE Hard work from up here this time, couldn't run at all. The time change is beginning to bite up here, the earlier start is making things much more difficult from GM.

GU0IDA Poor conditions this time I thought, lots of static from near by thunder storm, people not listening out and using AFC + NET on their sowtware which causes a lot of problems.
