G4GZB Enjoyed it, despite my tortoise-like performance! SD was a good friend again G4LMW First ever contest entry, fun but tough G4OGB Not much change in condx yet. SD worked well as usual. G4OOC SD was faultless once again G4RCG Was a good session, lots of stations calling only needed to go S&P for the last 20 mins. G4WGE Started late due having a real QSO on 80M! Then someone immediately tried to pinch my frequency. An M0 kept calling but never responded when called back. Altogether a very strange evening. G4YRF Had To Take Time Out To Chase Off A Burglar! G4ZFE Most QSOs made using a 6 foot high NVIS 80m dipole. Good conditions until 21:00 G4ZGP Always enjoyable. conditions good at start only fair towards end of contest G6MC Good contest, conditions to UK dropped off after 2100 from North Yorkshire G8MIA Nice steady run of contacts in S & P. M0CES contest died for me at 2100 M0CNP Propogation deteriorated rapidly after 2100 M0MDF Conditions were quite good upto about 2100hrs when it all seemed to go. The noise level went down and so did the signals. M0NZA Loads of activity - really enjoyed the contest. QSO with YL3DX a real bonus! Thanks for all the contacts M0RBG Variable conditions this time M3WCK Missed first 20 minutes or so. Enjoyed experience MM0GPZ Still new to CW, especially running, so I appreciate your patience. I'll get there eventually. It's funny how it's easy on Morserunner HI. MM0RKT Quite nice condx, for once. A bit noisy after half time... PA0FAW Condx not good, not bad, had less thanb an hour and wanted 25 qso's for point Veron contest, Arnhem section I think the speed was less high than used to be, or my brain has got younger, hi. PA3AM Again an exiting contest, good signals and activity YL3DX IC-756PROIII 100w; ant Dipole |
SOAPBOX: DL4CW excellent condx tonite. Put away my headphones after 5 minutes, laid back and enjoyed the big signals. G0ADH Much better conditions G0DAY A very good evening all whent well till 9pm when the band just shut down to short skip but then able to work GM's - F and PA SD worked flawless as usual Thanks Paul G0EWN A bit of a disaster. Lots of little things conspired to spoil my involvement. I hope to correct these before next time. My vertical antenna was too narrow--had to keep retuning to ensure low SWR for even short moves in frequency. I need to sort VOX arrangement for semi-break in. I had problems with logging software failing to spot duplicate etc. May go over to a dipole to give greater bandwidth without needing to retune Still, it was a learning experience (of the wrong sort!!). G0FYX Good activity. Thank you SD. G0HSA Not too bad for a first time. I will have to get up to speed with shortened numbers. Will definitely have another go. SD certainly makes life easy sending cw. G0IBN too windy to have aerial up G0JLF Noisy G0KYA First half was good, but condx got worse towards end. G0LHZ Great Fun G0MTN Pity I could only operate the last 30 mins, not the first 30! G0OKF Started OK but faded badly after 2100 hours. SD Used with no problems . G0RDO Good fun as usual and sd worked a treat G3GLL OK for the first hour, after then hopeless ! G3HRH Good until the last half hour when the skip went long G3JNB Good conditons. G3KAF A very enjoyable contest as always. G3KNU Much better conditions tonight. Really like SD's ESM G3LDI Band died around 9 p.m. and G signals became very auroral. Hard going for the last 30 minutes! G3LET Casual entry to get the feel of the new K3 and how it handled the noises and burbles from neighbouring electronics in the house. UK largely disappeared prompt at 2100, apart from GM and a few locals. G3LHJ Good condxs - lots of activity - most enjoyable SD went perfectly a joy to use. G3LIK Good conditions throughout tonight. Some strong signals on the band. Great to have SD as logging programme G3OLB Very noisy after 2115Z! G3PDH The first hour went well but the band faded again. G3PHO Conditions better than last time though long skip set in around 2100 leaving much less workable UK activity. Found it hard to get a run after 9pm as a result. G3PSM One of my better attempts and the 80 metre dipole prefers working in an NVIS configuration! G3RSD Used sd worked perfectly G3SWC Band faded around 2100, only long skip to GM G3TBK Arrived home from J8 at 15.00z to be met by gale-damaged tower and beams. Managed to get a dipole up at 50 ft for tonight. Travelling for 18 hours took its toll so apologies to those who I confused by hitting the wrong "F" keys. Who switched propagation off for the last 20 minutes? G3TKF The band, and the logging prog fell apart in the last 15mins G3TLH Forgot all about contest until 2040 then made 36 QSOs till 2130. Inter-G fading towards the end. G3TXF Excellent conditions for inter-UK during the first hour. Plenty of GMs coming through at good strength too. Thinned out a bit during the last half hour. But for a mid-week evening it's a lot of activity! G3VCA Started fine but the band died at ~ 9pm. Difficult to work UK stations after that time, and interestingly the band noise went down to S1; using a 2 wave delta loop in the clear. G3VIP RIG IC7000 10W - Homebrew Logger - 50M Long Wire Much better condx for QRP though signals dropped after 2100 G3VPW First time ever entered a CC test. S&P most of the time. Still not too confident in RUN MODE with SD and after spending many hours at the weekend in BERU just love the S&P hunt !!!! G3YEC Nice contest today good signals and although some QSB in the main nice and straightforward G3YHV Had dreadful software issues (I wrote the software!) G3ZBU Antenna now up to 42 feet and extended by 3 feet 6 in both directions and resonating at 3.5MHz nicely. Signals seemed to fade a fair bit around 9pm. Interesting! G3ZGC I used SD for logging - it's great. Cndx failed at 2110 otherwise ok G3ZHE A better night. 100w IC7700 90ft dublet 30ft up at 30ft asl 50 claimed. G3ZRJ Good turn out this evening conditions seemed excellent for the first hour G3ZVW Short range propagation faded suddenly at 21:10. G4ARN/P Great fun but local qrm caused problems G4BUO A contest of two halves. Very loud signals for the first hour, but everyone's signals were down in the noise for the last 30 minutes. G4BZP I am an active FARS member living there at my holiday home. G4DBW Elecraft K3 10 watts into G5RV G4DDX Pretty good for the first hour, went downhill after that. Aerial lowered to 15feet due to wind.Enjoyed the contest and used SD as usual. G4EBK Cdnx very good for the first hour then down hill. G4EKT G3WOV enjoyed used SD for first time. G4CGG first CW contest G4ELZ Great until the next door's TV came home! G4FAL I'm not prepared to babysit a frequency before the test, so I set off in QRS bit, which was very nice too. There should be a time limit on calling cq then the babysitting nonsense would be stopped. What does 'CQ-Ing' mean anyway? Aren't they an insurance company, hi. They should be calling you! Anyone support a campaign? Besides that, the Blades have got a couple of wins now so all is good. G4FKA A very frustrating evening. After a fair start, SWR on doublet went high after 40 minutes and the rate dropped after that. Suspect may have lost one half of feeder connection in wind but too dark to check. Nice to work everyone on half a doublet! G4FNL Usual change in conditions experienced with the skip dramatically lengthening for the last 15mins or so of the contest. Thanks to all for the QSO's |
