v noisy M0JMO Using a PM-SDR Receiver and an Icom IC-7000 Transmitter M0MDF Condx not too bad later on. M0NKS Found band very noisy with stations just on the noise level. M0PTO 50w logged using SD. Great software. M0RBE Difficult conditions no GM and only one GW station heard. M0RBG Very enjoyable despite poor conditions M0RMW First contest M0SCG Very poor conditions for most of the contest with qsb It would have been helpful for stations operating on spot freq to give their callsigns more freqently instead of just calling QRZ M0TUB Logging issues - dropped a few points on dupes - sorry to those that lost a point M0WTG no propagation. very very hard work. M0XDX Conditions gradually improved after 2100. M0XIE Really dissapointing start. Very slow progress. No-one could hear me. QRM or my gear?! M0XJP Typical first contest of the year very low score nobody heard me until 15 minutes from the end but always enjoyable! I'll get a proper aerial soon... M0XSM Excellent logger M1PTR Started slow then picked up in last half hour. M5ALG Conditions at start were bad but improved later SD flawless as usual. M6CMG How can a 100w s9+ station not hear a 10w station? MM0BQI Arrived home from Scouts at 2100 expecting to work loads of stations but only managed FOUR. Heard another six in the noise but no chance of raising them. I believed the aurora looked good! Maybe the first hour was better? CU all next week. ON3ND Sorry just a minimum of free time this evening... HNY to all British friends... PC600P Hoped to reach many stations with the special callsign for 600 years city rights of Purmerend; however conditions the first hour were quite abysmal and only the last 30 minutes did some improvement show; this limited the number of contacts to just 50 but will try for another go in the may sessions. those interested may look up the www.qrz.com/pc600p website for more information. SF3A First time in this contest. I will try again... Fun even though most stations didn't hear my weak calls. Heard almost 40 stations but managed to work only 3. |
SOAPBOX: 2E0KXD Terrible propagation! 2E0NCG Condx awful until 2100. Some people were obviously running way more than the 100w limit - shame this can't be clamped down on. See you all in February! 2E0RCV Good fun. Not typical January conditions. G0AAA FT1000mp(100W) to dipole at 65ft. UK Propagation was very poor initially but improved steadily. Auroral activity meant the GM stns were unusually weak. So unfortunately for them they didn't get their usual winter advantage. G0ADH Thanks for all of the patience shown with my speech difficulties. G0AJJ Very very noisy a real struggle! Thanks to everyone who repeated info. G0BNC Bad tvi? Possible snow G0BWB Great Fun G0CLP Awful condx until abt 2110 in the north role on the spring! G0DWV Condx better than expected G0EUN Very hard work tonight. G0FYX Band noisy. SD worked well for logging. G0GDU Impossible to hold a run frequency and hard to get my QRP signal heard by those running Suffered with power line noise due to the falling snow / sleet G0GFQ Noise abysmal G0JLF Noisy G0LHZ Qrm qrm qrm G0MLY Absolutely awful start! QRM galore, no-one seemed to hear me and so made only 15 QSOs by halfway. Then I found a free-ish spot to run and much better. Whether propagation changed I do not know but the second half was far more fun than the first. Glad I didn't give up! Thanks to all for QSOs. G0MTN Challenging. G0NXA Available only for the last 30 minutes so S & P but found NO other CARA members heard! G0PEB Good fun using 10W QRP G0RXA Tough going but worth the effort G0TZZ Still no computer hopefully for the next one. Never tried data without PC should be different. HI G0VGS Horrid condx! Not good for us up in the frozen north G0VOK Very busy but lots of QRM and QSB. Great Fun. G1NGE first go at contesting G1RVP better conds. after 2100 hrs. G2BKZ Had a good laugh with some of the lads with numbers..I.E "21 my age" "7/6d was she worth it?" Etc. G3GHS Very good G3HRH Very noisy band but plenty of activity. A run all evening for the first time G3IZD Very few stations readable for first 50 mins then slight improvement. Strangely no sigs from GM. Let us hope conditions improve later on as they did on previous years otherwise stns in N of G seriously disadvantaged G3KAF Local S9+ noise making copy difficult. G3KNU SD worked great pity conditions didn't. G3LDI Impossible to find a clear freq very noisy band usual Jan prop G3LHJ What awfull noisy condxs - very hard graft for little results.- Roll on the spring. G3LIK Difficult with long skip to start with but became a lot better as the contest continued G3MXH Very noisy as usual but lots of activity with many signals down in the noise. G3NLY A dire start. A decent freq. but incoming sigs sounded like fluttering weak dx. Things improved after c. 21.00 but came too late. G3OLB Terrible racket but had a good run after 20 minutes of S&Ping. 100 watts TS850 and dipole at 60 feet. G3PDH Usual tough going from this part of the country again in January G3PHO Obviously a night for the Southern stations.Terrible propagation into Sheffield and did not suit my 100ft inverted V doublet @ 30ft.! The band started to improve for inter G at 2115 a little late in the day. Heard one op who had worked 5 stations in the first 30 seconds of the contest .... that takes some doing! G3PYC Conditions very poor at start but opened up at 20-48hrs SD is a must for me G3SEM Sadly I neglected to carefully read the Rules. TKS to G4LMw I was advised of the error of my ways. My apologies to all. G3SNU Good condx for january-both long and short skip G3SVD Another enjoyable contest. I was expecting it to be hard going but although there were a couple of slow patches I found it good fun with contacts coming along at a good rate. Now to get ready for the data modes event. G3SWC I think I found the definition of noise!! G3TBK FT1000MP 100w to dipole at 75 feet. G3TKF Very noisey conditions - came in waves G3TXF Another excellent CC event. Good to see such a large turn-out. Unlike in last week's CW session this time the GMs were barely audible. It never ceases to amaze how dramatic the change in conditions can be both within a given CC and between different CCs. G3UJE FT1K MkV Field + Inv Vee @ 100' + Wintest v.4 G3VCA As usual for January difficult start which eased after 2100. Icom 756 & 2 Wave Delta Loop G3VDB Very hard work against QRM QRN and band congestion. All S&P and simply was not being heard even on a "clear" channel never mind break the "pile-ups". G3VMW Terrible conditions - gave up after 30 minutes G3VUS condx here in the North were terrible with few stations audible and those not hearing us. Awful score G3WYW Band noisy till about 2100. QRP difficult G3YEC Lots of static and fading at commencement. G3YHV Great contest but very noisy ! G3ZBU great conditions as it is normally pretty dire at this time of year! G3ZGC Well with such poor conditions its great to be QRP! My noise level is S9 all the time in the evenings on SSB. I can only hear properly in the early hours! Amazing to work 39 with the set up. IC7700 10w to 132 ft wire bent into 55 ft garden. G3ZRJ Much prefer cw but glad to help out the club have to get my ears re-tuned for ssb G3ZVW Conditions OK at the start and good at the end. Shame about the bit in the middle! G4ABX Another tough night for QRP! G4DBW Not a lover of SSB contests - especially QRP. Very hard going. It's so much easier with QRP CW G4DDX Noise noise and poor propogation made it hard work in the first half. Very crowded but managed to get a run going later on top of what seemed deliberate jammimg. SD worked perfectly. G4EBK Very poor cdnx north of Lincoln tonight until after 2130 but that was too late to help with the test. G4EKT High QRM G4FAL Hard work G4IUF Terrible condx for first hour then couldn't find a clear QRG Enjoyed using SD G4IWS Terrible! Much QRM due to contest and other activity G4LMW Thought I had found a nice quiet slot at 1925 only to find that I was still on the dummy load. Better conditions than expected. TT Orion 10W to 80m OCF dipole at 30ft. G4LMX Must have a problem with Antenna. Only one QSO in 45 minutes. I will sort it out for next month. G4LWB Noisy much qrm initially G4OTJ First EVER contest for me ! G4PIQ Completely out of propagation for 1st hour. Lots of stations CQed in my face and was usually at the bottom of any pile-up. Band started to slowly improve and then was able to run for last 30 mins. Hope to have antenna at more reasonable height soon. K2/100 Inv-V @ 10m G4RCD Very Hard work - hope for better conditions next month! G4SJX hard work G4VPD almost no activity heard here G4VSS Like a horror movie "hearing distant voices that dont hear you scream" 11 minuets in decided that lifes to short for 80 meters contesting at this time of year.So went to do something else. G4VUD 9+ noise but not too bad. Skip into eu mainly pa and dl G4WUG SSB Madness again! Condx improved vastly after 2100 waisted a lot of time with some stations calling qrz after a contact G5KN KADRS First Contest was great fun G6AY Computer crash - Had to do paper logging. Hard going at start but livened up in the last 45 minutes. G6UBM lots of qrm difficult to find a slot to call from sd worked well as usual G6WRW Very first contest G6XRL Steep learning curve Thanks for help Peter M1PTR. G7SKR Conditions varied considerably during the contest. Bad to very bad then back again! Quite difficult being heard at times. G7VRK Lot of noise for first hour Hope for better G8CKT First time on 80M CC |
