RSGB Contest Committee

G6CSY
80m full of rain static and lightning crashes rather than activity!
40m just very quiet. Didn't hear stations calling CQ. Were they all S&P?
Running 5W to a trap vertical using DXLab WinWarbler.

G6KQ/P
Good conditions on 80m but inter-G working was hard going on 40m with the long-skip conditions.

G6NUM
10w into w3dzz @ 28ft agl
dire condx here for last hour of 1st session and first hour of 2nd session longish skip and fast/deep qsb for most of the contest heard a few consistently strong stations but most other workable stations were just above my noise level some stations found more to work than myself but where were the big qrp stations from the 80m cc contests?

GM3BSQ/P
New site extremely quiet regards noise.
Wx good faulty lead from Winkeyer to rig needed
remaking losing valuable time in morning session.
Good fun with pleasant company including a
visiting DL amateur on holiday

GW0VSW
band conditions were not ideal here and it was tough
going with just an indoor antenna!

M0HWC
Check log only

ON5WL
Not much activity but I could work some stations in the
few hours I had time to work.
Nice contest. Till next year.

Almost a 'white-noise-with-strong-qsb-addon'-contest hi and UK seemed all but unworkable in lap 1. So I appreciate every single contact & will thank you friends who did hear me. Also sorry for my intermittent being unable to copy some weak stns due to heavy qsb. However it has been an audio-challenge agn & I hpe cuagn all sn - vy 73 gl es cwfe de Sascha DD1IM.

Never made it out /P this year stayed at home and used my K3 and trapped dipole.
Band condx were very QSB and difficult to copy the 3w stations. Still very enjoyable.

G3EAO/P
Not many stations taking part!

G3HEJ
Nice contest but many ''experienced ops'' were far too fast in replies as bernd vermeulen m3coh ( the main operator) is still a 'cw learner' !

G3IZD
Foul WX precluded an intended portable operation.
bands vey noisy and hard work copying many
exchanges. So hardly good fun especially struggling
to copy many exchanges.

G3LHJ
Bands very noisy and lots of Qso - but enjoyable giving
the guys some points.

G3LIK
Just entered to give some points out to those who
took part. I do not run QRP myself
Nice to have SD for logging

G3OLB
2 watts only from a K3 and dipoles at 60'. A few stations obviously had a high noise level and just couldn't hear my 2 watts!

G3RSD
Could only get on the band for the afternoon session .
Condx were quite good.

G3SDC/P
Brilliant day both for wx and radio yet another outing for the club in a great test

G3TBK
EDITED TO SHOW POWERS IN SPECIFIED MANNER - PITY MANY DIDN'T SEND IT AS PER RULES!
Overall fair activity but the hour before the break was painfully slow!
FT1000MP 10 Watts 80m Dipole at 55 feet 40m Rotatable Dipole at 60 feet.
Good to have so many European stations joining the fun.

G3VIP
RIG IC7000 3W - 40M LW - Homebrew logger
Poor condx. Good number of stns not moving my S meter. Stns sent 599
then asked for repeats.

G3YMC/P
QTH Longhill Park Bracknell SU891695
First /P foray in this event for some time
Conditions mixed with a lack of inter G on 40m
and very little support on that band from the Europeans
Maybe not the best QTH too many trees to get the antenna wire stuck in...
But good fun... 73 Dave

G4ARI/P
Portable QTH - RISE ROCKS NGR SK473121 NR MARKFIELD
4 European stations didn't send me any serial numbers
WX just about right - not too hot and only a few
short showers. No short skip on 40 untill about 13:30
Great fun. Thanks for all the QSOs see you next year

G4BLI/P
Wild weather when setting up on Dartmoor
Conditions very variable with tough going in the last
hour!

G4CZB
Out on a club event so could only do the last two
hours. Signals very weak on 40m.

G4DDL
Just a checklog!

G4DDX/P
No rain but windy. New aerial much better. First part
of each session was best but hard work later. Problem
copying due to flapping canvas but a very enjoyable
contest. We used SD this year with computer on the 12v
battery which was a boon. Meet you all again in 2011

G4EBK
Conditions very poor in this corner of England gave in after 1.75 hrs in the morning.
Re-started for the afternoon session first hour poor second hour better but then
downhill again. Hourly rates 30.4.0.13.18.9. Only made 74 qso's this year last year 98.

G4OGB
40M real let down this time.

G4XPE
Amazing what 9w will do given the right propogation
propogation tailed off from about 10:15 on 80m
very poor propogation on 40m
could not do the afternoon session due to visitors
