2E0IMW
Ably assisted by Alan G6AQQ.

2E0JCA
First attempt at a contest hope ive entered it right!

2E0KXD
Band choked with S9+ signals from end to end. Hard to find a clear spot to call CQ

2E0LDJ
My First 80m contest - lots of QRM but once on my own frequency i flew!

2E0RKY
Fantastic contest.
Best score yet
RX was bliss

G0AAA
Amazing it's June but no QRN!. 100W to dipole at 70ft
Condx must have been good some QRP stations were very loud.

G0AJJ
Very noisy but good fun!
Thanks to all for the points.

G0BNC
Good conditions but xyl on skype to son won again

G0DVJ
Good session... lots of activity and loud stations.

G0EUN
Good Conditions.

G0GDU
10w into w3dzz @ 28ft agl
good conditions tonight but could not hold run frequency

G0GFQ
Late start due to visitors arriving 5 minutes before so
only the last few minutes managed but seemed I missed
decent conditions

G0IIQ
It would be nice if some stations used their callsign
rather than calling qrz after every contact

G0MTN
Forgot to send this off in time. Please use as checklog if appropriate.

G0VOK
Good progation and very busy band

G3HRH
Very busy with much QRM.
Difficlut to hold a run

G3IZD
Still galling to hear big stations working others
inaudible in the far North of G do GMs suffer the same

G3LDI
Really must get on at lunchtime to grab a run frequency!

G3LET
First time QRP entry and really tough going. Only one response to a CQ (thanks G4DZL!) so it was S/P all the way.
Nothing much heard at any distance and even the GMs were often hard to winkle out. Still more enjoyable that expected!

G3LHJ
Good start - bad middle - good ending in 80M
summer condxs - nice to say Hi to all the regulars.
cu in next one - 73 de Derrick.

G3LIK
Lot of QRM from stations spreading too much
Did not enjoy the contest due to QRM

G3MZV
That was hard work but my highest number of QSO's in a CC
contest to date so I'm happy.

G3NKS
Good fun made an enjoyable change from my
preferred contesting mode - CW. Much QRM
but for once managed to find a clearish frequency
with 15 minutes to go - and it was very productive
even with my very modest antenna.

G3OLB
Condx pretty good for inter-G but QRM level around 3712Khz was horrible!

G3PDH
Seemed to be going well for the first 40 mins then dried up but better than usual with less QRM, so maybe less people on.
At least only one more SSB to go!

G3PHO
Whew what a night! I don't think I've heard 80m so crowded. CW
contests are much easier on the ears! I found it very hard to find a
run slot with the end to end S9+++ stations in spite of 16dB
attentuation and 1.8kHz bandwidth on the FT950. The GMs were well
down on their usual signals tonight and I only worked one Continental
Eu. Everything else was G and GW with some amazingly strong signals.
Hard work but it has to be done :-)

G3SNU
Things picked up from 2055 after finally getting a reasonable frequency

G3TBK
Lots of QRM tonight. Amazing that before the contest I was getting 59+20 reports from all around UK but some could apparently could not hear me and started calling CQ on the frequency. Big linears small ears?
Surprised to get 005 in the first minute from a station that only made 70 all night?
As usual numerous stations claiming to be QRP were amongst the strongest on the band...seems to be some very high gain antennas in use!

G3TKF
Deliberate QRM annoying- lots of overall QRM -still good fun though!

G3VCA
Thanks to G4ABX just before contest - RF feedback problem
resolved counterpoise wrapped up before grass cut.
The normal busy contest- conditions good

G3VDB
Interesting summer prop - rapidly changing signal levels for the first
45 min.

G3VIP
RIG IC7000 10W - 40M LW - Homebrew logger
Usual struggle with genuine 10w. Wall to wall noise. Deliberate
SSTV QRM round 3730.

G3VPW
Very busy band continentals noticeable by their absence and only a few GMs. A slow start S & P. Reasonable run during the last half hour.

G3XYF
Good to hear some 2E0 stations
Lots of OTs using "Roger" instead of "Over"

G3ZBU
Most of the other HARC operators were in the bar
in DL-land ;-(
Still there were plenty of stations to be worked
but it was hard work being QRP.

G3ZGC
I fell asleep just before the contest! Luckily I awoke in time but a bit disorientated!
Anyway very noisy here but managed ok. Rig IC7700 set to 10w to 132 ft wire wrapped
into 55 ft garden and antenna up about 40 ft.


G3ZVW
SOome nice clear frequencies and some horribly noisy ones.

G4ABX
great contest

G4DDX
I managed to start to run about half way through got
the usual QRM! later found a better spot till the end.
VERY NOISY AND I HAD PROBLEMS PICKING OUT THE CALLSI
MIGHT GET OVER THAT MAGIC 100 WHEN I CAN SORT THEM OUT
BETTER.

G4ENA
Tricky to listen to the cricket at the same time!

G4ENZ
Loads of QRM so, sorry to those I couldn't pull out of the racket and thank you to those that worked me.

G4FKA
Hard work this evening. High QRM high QRN and a laptop that tried to install updates every 10 minutes. Delightful!

G4IGN
some deliberate interference

G4IUF
Good night only kicked off QRG once !!

G4JRY
5watts to a Windom

G4OGB
Noise Noise and more NOISE

G4SJX
Finally found a clear frequency to call CQ
my PB

G4VUD
Conditions fairly flat 9 noise level
didn't help but have it all the time lately.

G4WUG
Very busy tonight with plenty of QRM. Very enjoyable all the same thanks for sharing the points.

G8CKT
Amazing what can be done with 10W and 30 feet of wire!

G8FMJ/P
Busy but good fun.
