Individual Sessions - 19th Feb CW
G4KNO Not operated CW for 3 years and also first time with TLF. Had some trouble with the keyboard macros which was probably me rather than TLF. Apologies to all those at the receiving end of my panic! G4LMW Great first 45 minutes then the lights went out. Still no complaints pretty good conditions over all. G4LWB Plenty of activity early. Skip changed about 9pm. Last half hour difficult G4OOC Enjoyed the contest condx were pretty good SD as usual made life easy for me Highly Recommended G4PIQ Thought that this might be my first session from home with > 100 QSOs until band went long after 45 mins. K2/100 100W Bent G5RV centre @ 9m one leg bent round fence G4RCG Had to start high up as i got on late best thing i did after a few quiet mins it was then non stop until the end of the test lots of loud stns on tonight made it easy to work every one sd was faultless nice to wk paul ei5di again in these tests tnx for the points and a great programme paul G4RGK Threw up a dipole at the last minute 3.1 SWR no ATU and no time to fix hence only able to TX 40w. Band died to G at 2100. G4TSH Worse than January! Problem with software lost me a few minutes near the beginning. Mix of Run and S&P. Everything went mushy after 21 and had a steady stream of callers who were obviously struggling to find QSO's. G4WUG Conditions much better this week. Must practice more hi ! G7SKR Missed the first 25 minutes. Still getting to grips with this new data mode. HI. G8FCQ Late start only 11 QSO.s OF WHICH 70 % WERE GM PA OR DL So favourable propagation to them from the east mids ! Shame about the miserable score. GM0ELP Brilliant condx I must have been a good signal as got QRM'd constantly throughout. Someone sending data someone calling CQ at 12WPM someone within 100Hz??? Never the less I enjoyed being heard at least in GM for CC. TNX to all who worked me. GM4OSS Best score so far in this contest. I like these short contests. GW3KDB FT1000MP 100watts Doublet at 45ft. GW4BLE Busy evening did get QRV until 20 GW7BZR Enjoyed first cw contest with k3. M0AEU Noisy towards the end... still need more practice! M0CES it all went to pot around cup of tea time at 2100 M0CNP For the first 45 minutes conditions were looking good then the band went silent and stations were hard to find and even harder to work. Very enjoyable though. Thanks everyone for the points. M0LUV First attempt at a cw contest. M0VBY Great first hour M0XIE Novice. Difficult to read signal at low end of band with QRN M3WCK Band dropped out for me at about 9.00 until then was kept quite busy with regular qsos M5ALG Conditions not good at this location today M6FBK Band became very noisy after an hour MM0BQI That was fun! Couple of S+P sweeps of the band. MP, 100w, Low dipole sloping into the garden N/S. MM0GPZ Started 8 tonight. Wish I could take advantage of it. MW0CVT Very heavy QRM MW0RZC sd performed well YL3DX Thanks for nice contest. It looks my best result for all time long participation in RSGB-80M-CC. IC-756PROIII 100W; ANT 80-40M DIPOLE |
SOAPBOX: 2E0FFQ For uk qsos(from this qth)the ionosphere "evaporated" at about 2045! DL2SAX had to interrupt the contest, because my child woke up. G0DAY Who had the big switch then all was ok for the first hour then the signals just dropped off Just 26 in S&P mode with 7 watts G0EUN Very good conditions band rather crowded! G0FYX Going reasonably well for first hour then band got noisy and skip changed. SD logging program worked well G0GDU Ft1000 10w w3dzz @ 38ft conditions quieter tonight - skip seemed to be quite long G0IBN Tried N1MM for the first time, has its good points. G0KYA Shame propagation fell off half way through - best antenna was a W3EDP over the roof. G0LHZ Great Fun as usual G0MLY First ever time in a CW contest! Very enjoyable - thanks to all contacts for QRSing I thought CW contesting was too scary to try but......I will be back again! G0MTN Good first hour low noise. Local signals dropped away after an hour but not many signals in EU to make up for it. G0OKF Where did most go after 2100 hours.??? SD worked well so did EI5DI. G0PSE Sd performed flawlessly. A joy to use G0RAF Enjoyable evening. G0TZZ Sory about my macros and thank you for all your patience. PC failure, fone calls, and general mess on my behalf. TNX all. G0VGS This is the first time I have entered this event and had a great time. Quite a lot of clicky stations though. Not great conditions either but good fun. G0WWD Band conditions were good G3BJ Someone turned the band off here at 21.00. All went long-skip, and teh G's disappeared into the mush. Great fun 'though. G3GLL Poor aerial- poor conditions = poor score ! G3HRH Very good conditions in Cornwall until 21.05. Band almost closd for about five minutes and then re-opened long skip Am I alone in disliking stations who do not send leading zeros G3IZD Let us hope that the improvement in conditions continues through the CC season. G3JJZ RIG - IC756 PRO III 100 Watts ANTENNAS - 85' LW G3JRM lively as always though there was a marked change in condx around 21.00 hrs almost all s&p with a non- productive ten minute run late on worked from the club hq with a couple of the newer lads watching on so no cans though maybe some future cw ops in the making!! G3KAF With S8 background noise struggled with the weaker stations but enjoyable as always. G3LDI Band changed at 9 p.m. and G's disappeared. Despite several CQ's at 10 wpm G3LHJ Band went a bit weird that last half hour but all good fun - lots of activity again - nice to work Mr SD cu in the next one G3MIR Poor condxs - weird skip G3MXH Quite good conditions in the first period . Propagation worsened and high noise in the last 3/4 hour. G3NCN Late start but seemed well populated contest. G3PDH Unfortunately missed the first half hour but hoped to catch up. Unfortunately the band gradually worsened! G3PHO Unfortunately I had baby sitting duties throught the contest!! Listening to CW with one ear and for the grandkids with the other was quiet an ordeal. Good for most of the period although deep QSB set in after 2100. Nice to work Pat Hawker G3VA for the very first time in my 48 years on the air! G3PSM Propagation suddenly lengthened at 2050 so had to S & P for strongest signals. G3RSD Used "sd" worked perfectly G3SVD As usual an enjoyable contest. However the last 30 minutes or so seemed to be bugged by a large increase in noise in particular phone traffic and a band of noise around 3550. I really like this series of contests and think that the HFCC should consider some HF contests witha similar format. G3SWC Who swithed the band off at 2105? G3TKF Band condx went "off" around 2100! G3TLH Very difficult conditions towards end. Also computer kept typing extra characters into SD logging program made it even more difficult! Think it was RF getting in computer even with 5Watts G3TXF Inter-G conditions were OK for most of the time except at around 60 mins into the contest when the band just collapsed into a mass of noise. Things had recovered again by the end of the contest. G3VCA Conditions fair for the time of year - worked about the same number of stations G3VDB Fun first hour - last 30min hard work - Found half the antenna on the ground next morning! G3VPW Some good long skip but plenty of G activity throughout Good run for the first hour. G3VQO Couldn't stay for the whole contest As luck would have it, I left just before the propagation changed for the worse! G3VUS good fun G3WRR The good news is that my local noise was only S9 10dB down on normal! But still found it hard going with 10W G3WVG 100w (ft1000mp) dipole at 50ft G3YEC SD good as always. Band started off well but then it appeared to dry up for around 20 minutes then opened up again. Some were giving out a hundred well before the end please tell me they were ONLY using 100W !! G3YHV Great conditions until 2100 then fadeout ! G3YMC Good start then disaster as skip went very long and no G stations workable! So my lowest ever score in these events. Hopefully next month will be better. G3ZBU It all went quiet-ish at 9pm. Running 50 watts. G3ZGC/A I ran the contest from G3LLK's QTH. Noise free QTH and nice dipole up 50 ft. Rig IC775DSP dropped to 10w. Power confirmed by G3LLK. No problems with QRP until conditions changed at 2050. G3ZHE The condx are so bad in Jan/Feb that WARC members score are very low until we get into March by which time we are well behind and never catch up. Why can't we have 4*3 contests in this series from say March to June and start the Sprints from Aug to Nov. 10w qrp, 90ft doublet 30ft up. G3ZVW OK who turned the propagation off at the half way point? G4ABX BAND conditions were poor after first 30 mins for inter G working G4AIU Conditions good in the first hour G4BUO Using a corner-fed delta loop put up ready for the ARRL CW contest so pretty pleased to make 111 QSOs. Some of the Gs were *very* weak on this antenna! G4BZP not my best effort lot of noise after 2100 need more practice! G4DDL Quite good early on but poor after about 9 G4DDX Very good to start but went down around 9pm i enjoyed the evening. Used sd it makes it so easy G4EBK Off to a flying start and at 2100z someone turned the big switch in the sky off. Enjoyable contest. G4FAL Good conditions here in Sheffield but it got a bit noisy after an hour. G4FKA Rocking start but conditions changed rapidly after about 50 mins with everyone weak at the end. G4GZB Enjoyed giving a few points away SD workd well es enjoyed working EI5DI Paul G4KMB First go at this contest. |
