Results - 80m Club Championships 2009
Individual Sessions - 14th Jan SSB
GM3POI Better Condx in Orkney than the CW event GW4BVE Intra UK conditions improved later in contest. An earlier start in winter would encourage club to club contacts. M0AAA Picked up in the last 10 mins of the contest. Looking forward to the summer Club Championships. M0ANM Conditions very difficult, had problems with antenna after first half hour. M0CES Horrible conditions up here on the east coast M0CNP First 45 munutes, the band was dead, then suddenly high noise until about 2110, then the band opened up brilliantly, but too late! Thanks everyone for the points though. As usual a thoroughly enjoyable contest M0CUL Very noisy in southern UK! M0DCD This session was hard work, not as many heard as last time. M0DIW not a good evening M0FRH Good fun M0IAA hard work v qrm M0JEC G5RV and 50W on an FT-ONE and MFJ-969 ATU. M0KOP Dire conditions M0LUV Dreadful Band Conditions but still fun M0MCX Inter-G Propagation started to come strong at about 9:20pm for us Midlands based stations - about time! M0NKS VERY noisy to start but got better later . M0OXO Poor start but got better poor condx but OK to Europe M0SCG Lots of QSB on the band and high noise level M0VBY Really hard going M0WLF Had a disgruntled old man who objected to contests who blatently told me he was going to jam me and proceeded to for the majority of the contest. M0WTG very poor conditions, not heard much untill 9 pm M0XDX Band conditions dire until 2100 then sudden improvement suddenly the band was full of G's. My 1st 80m cc,enjoyed it. M0ZAR 1st contest. Enjoyed, but stressful ! M1PTR Slow start with bands dominated by european stations until 2100 when inter-G opened up. Very enjoyable. M3RCV Only a short foray this month. Typical 'January' conditions until shortly before the end. M3XYC I'm pleased with my first venture into contesting. M3YOM Tough going, conditions were poor M6CMG Horrible and noisy conditions M6KAH First contest. Conditions were very difficult MM0GHM/P Just good to get back into contest mode. MM0GOR Very poor conditions tonight MW0CVT Very noisy band conditions here MW0RZC Poor conditions. Could hardly hear G stations until late in contest |
SOAPBOX: 2E0RFS Band conditions poor but interesting. 2E0SEW Great Fun 2E0TQR Tnx for enjoyable 90 mins 2E0ZIP GROOVY First time in a contest. DG4DW Mni tnx for the nice short contest. It was very funny. When i have time, we hear us in the next contest. G0AAA FT1000MP (100W version) + Dipole at 70ft. Usual poor uk propagation for January. Very tough going. G0AJJ Very heavy cold....lost voice and only managed a single contact! G0CLP/P Total wall of qrm across both sections of the band. Some very strong G (not local) signals wonder what antennas are being used? Very hard going but easier after 2100 G0EYR Very noisy band improved after about 20.45 G0FYX First hour was a real struggle. Long skip. Last half hour the band was lively. SD logging program worked well as usual. G0GDU Ft1000 ,100w, w3dzz sloping to east with centre @ 40ft very noisy at start, picked up in last 15minutes. Strongest in last 10 minutes were M3RCV(59+10ddb) & M3WYX (59+20db) both much stronger than G3ORY? G0GFQ Difficult and strange conditions G0JLF Dire G0KYS On late. Conditions terrible! G0LGJ Terrible conditions poor inter G G0MLY Lots of continental QRM - hard work! G0MRH Absolutely awful conditions until the last half hour G0NUZ Hard work for so little results G0OKF An occasion which makes me wonder why I participate. Will think hard about next SSB contests. My antenna is not up to the job G0VDZ Hard work, for very litte. G0VGS Really strange conditions with long skip. I do think it is about time that some stations were checked for exceeding the 100W limit. G0WJX Very noisy band G1BHR Had a cold and lost my voice after just one QSO! G1FON Please give your C/S phonetically everybody!!! G3HRH Poor conditions for inter-G contacts Band only opened in last half hour G3IZD Very strange conditions, big signals from Channel coast up here to Cumbria but little in between. Obviously those operating from areas of high activity able to make biggger scores. However the January start to the contest was not the disaster I envisaged. G3LDI I nearly gave up in disgust at the propagation for the first hour. I heard one very loud station, G3OLB, and then a couple of weak stations. I then heard G4RCG at S-7. I spent ten minutes calling him, air getting bluer, until finally he suddenly came up to S-9 plus and I did manage a QSO. It was a struggle until 9 p.m. and managed a run to get to 82. When GM3POI gave me 77 to my 13 I wondered if my gear was working! The critical freq was below 3.5MHz and gradually increased. Maybe we should have started at 9 p.m.!! G3LHJ Crazy condx again - certainly not a even playing field the GM's having all the fun, and thanks to EU stations coming on, why did you bring back January again ????? G3LIK Very poor condition and difficult to make QSO's. Lot of stations were running a lot more than 100W which is against the rules and they should be penalised. With AFS etc in January think these contests should start in February to save the voice calling. G3MXH Found the band very poor for uk stations until within 1/2 hour of the finish. Would kave been very slow if the european stations hadn't joined in!!! G3NDJ Condx tough for first hour G3NFB Worst yet. Condx appaling for most of the contest. G3NPF Very odd conditions at the start but picked up later. G3OLB Dreadful conditions until the last 5 minutes when the skip suddenly shortened! G3PDH Difficult to understand the propagation on such nights. The odd loud G and one way paths! G3PHO Terrible conditions! Please go back to a February start next year. G3PSM Diabolic band conditions for the first hour! G3RHH Hard going due to long skip and QRM G3RRL Very noisy and few signals up to 2100 then improving to G3RSD Slow to start with then picked up towards the end G3SHF Dissappointing conditions until last 20 minutes G3SNU Hard going with constantly changing skip condx. G3TBK Very poor conditions for first hour, then suddenly improved. FT1000MP, 100W, Dipole at 75 feet G3TKF Someone switched the G stations on at 2120 G3TXF You know there's something odd happening when you can barely hear or work any stations at all within about 200 miles, but there's GM3POI up in the Orkneys giving you nr 86 just 27 minutes into the contest! G3UJE SOAPBOX: Started slowly with deliberate QRM'er and long skip. Weak G's at first but improved considerably by second half. Scores improved the further north you are! G3VCA Ventured out of bed with the man flu for this one. I did not find it easy or enjoyable. G3VDB Just dipped in for a few minutes G3VIP RIG IC7000 - 10W - 40mtr LW - homebrew logger Only made last 30 mins just as signals came up G3VPW Very hard going, no where as many stns as in last weeks CW event. G3VUS v poor condx in NW England initially a few G's only G3YHV a looney kept jamming us ! G3YOA Signals poor for first 45 min and then slowly improved G3ZBU Dire conditions until nearly the end when things became almost normal. G3ZGC Conditions poor at the start with GMs doing well but shortened suddenly just before the end. The IC7700 display in seconds went from noise to signals. Rig 1C7700 100w to 132 ft wire wrapped into 55 ft garden. A real struggle for my antenna tonight especially with S9 electrical noise. G3ZHE critical freq 2.75Mhz at start. one black hole in north cheshire G3ZRJ First SSB contest for many a year, difficult to describe the conditions without resorting to expletives. G4ABX BAND conditions were very poor for inter G working G4BXT It was like one of those science fiction movies where a fog covers an area and nothing can get in or out.I honestly thought there was a problem with the antenna about 15 minutes when the band came to life in North Kent! G4DBS A very difficult contest due to conditions SD is the only contest logging software that I use G4DDX After the good conditions for the cw leg it was a dissapointment to find such poor conditions. It was hard work but still enjoyable. Used SD as usual which makes it all so easy. G4DZL I used SD for logging - it's great. G4EFO poor band conditions at start. 1st time user, nice programme G4ELZ Changing skip G4FAL Conditions picked up dramatically in the last period G4FKA I knew the CW leg was too good to be true. Back to the usual dire January conditions in this part of the world! G4FNL Conditions were as expected - awful. Compared to my previous weeks exploits in the CW event, my SSB score is halved. It's amazing what a difference a few days can make. G4FSU Terrible conditions, almost no Gs audible at first, picked up a little after 20:00. G4HSU 100w FT897 Doublet at 4m G4KNO Awful for first hour, but skip shortened in last half hour to allow CQ-ing. G4LMW Very tough conditions. Europe booming but very few Gs for first half hour. 100w, dipole, FT-897 G4LWA V long skip at outset. Suffered continuous S9+10 noise floor throughout and eventually a few stations emerged through it. SD was easy once I had re-familiarised with it after a 6-month gap. Hope to have located and cured noise before next leg. G4LWB High noise/qrm for first half of contest improved later with many continental stations on air G4OOC Sorry to say it was a disaster for me However SD worked perfect as usual G4RCG This was a strange test, started so slow with stn's very weak then they came up for 10 mins then went down again, in between the EU stn's were +20bds I had a lot of fun, even the jammers failed to shift me !! G4VUD Very long skip, had problems hearing people G4WGE Thought the CW session was too good to be true - so normal service resumed...... awful conditions, especially when you are QRP! Did half and hour, got fed up, went to pub instead! G5JJ Conditions were unusual in the SW - plenty of long skip signals. Few inter UK QSO's. Tried out SD-1417, it worked very well. G5KC Band conditions poor - constant changes in propogation Good to see 80m CC's again - great to use SD !! G6FOP dire conditions G6UBM Long skip and slow at start, OX nice!! Picked up at end G7SHG Conditions very very bad,as expected in january but thanks to all stations for there points G7SKR Appalling conditions from here in Cheshire. All long skip to Europe. The last 15 minutes saw an improvement in conditions but that wasn't long enough to make any real headway. G7VRK Hard work to night lot of noise on here G8FMJ/P poor conditions until last 15mins G8YMW/P Cndx awful but picked up @ 2100hrs. Noticed some deliberate jamming. To the jammers, the conditions did more damage than you |
