Condx patchy, some DX Sat. PM and Early Sunday. UK activity seemed down on last year.

Superb condx both days - nice to work gd dx in a contest!

Good condition into Europe, not many UK stations! Just gave a few points away

On QRV Saturday on and off but no UK activity up here. There needs to a major re think of the Trophy element of the contest to attract inter UK activity as it is a jo01/jo02 battle. Would work more G's on Tuesday night.

Band fairly average but contest enlivened by continental activity. Poor UK support but fair activity from backpackers.

Need to get a rotator to save going out in the rain to turn the beam.

Hour or two point giving not many G

Just a token entry, but some nice DX (even from behind the Cotswolds).

Good condx to South East. WX OK until an hour before end of contest, then torrential rain.

Very little activity in UK especially to the north, good tropo to EU. tnx for points

Good weather with rising barometric pressure. European stations coming in by 11.30am at our location. Gone by 14.00 but good to work a few!! Very pleasant day on the hill!

Fair tropo conditions to Europe, especially Northern France. Very low UK activity. Only active for last three hours of the contest.

Poor choice of site very noisy

Mild / cloudy

Below average to South, flat elsewhere. Some good contacts made to GM on Sunday. Rain on Saturday and again on Sunday at 1400. Absolutely sodden!

New /p QTH better for EU !! Flat condx to north. Thanks to all for contacts

Low UK activity

Condx on Saturday eve much better than Sunday

Limited operation. Good fun though.

Conditions Flat with deep qsb at times. Disappointing Level of UK Activity.

New LFA antenna hearing more than old ant with no band noise but little activity heard.

Good conditions except NW through W to SW where nothing much was heard for long periods.

Wx good at start, terrible at end. Had to closedown early due to torrential rain and gale force wind! Felt like the shelter was going to buckle at any moment! Antenna chose its own direction! Band conditions reasonable, got good reports into GM and eastern France and Germany

Very average.

Average Condx. Found band to be very noisy in Eu [QRM]. Poor support in UK for this contest with approx 200 stns in 24hrs worked. Rain 30mins before end with torrential down-pour for lowering antennas and tidying away.

Flat. Weather: dry when we needed it to be.

Glad to give away a few points during the Russian Radio WW RTTY contest! No CW heard.

Co-sited with SSB Field Day station - not a good VHF site.

Conditions Good, but little UK activity.

Nice conditions in Europe on Saturday evening.

Good conditions E to SE. Several DX got-aways due to stronger nearer stations in DL.

Virtually all S&P. Good for 1st 5+ hrs then condx were going down.

Afternoon session hard going but evening was good fun (even with rotator failure!)

Wet start but a dry finish!

Terrible, rain, oh and some more rain, good fun between the downpour.

Conditions flat

Conditions seemed well above normal, especially on Saturday. Some good DX worked but our score is down from last year. A number of problems, including thunderstorms, mains failures and heavy static rain.

Got off to a good start but after around four hours weather front went through and 2m appeared to "close" to the east with only stations from JO20/21/30/31 audible. Weather front was followed by thunder storm and static rain for about two hours - 59 noise gave rise to slow QSO rate. Conditions seemed flat/average throughout the rest of the event with slight tropo towards southern France and Spain. Activity seemed poor and QSO rate slower than expected - especially over night - which was hampered by us not having a working voice keyer. New equipment (pre-amplifiers and solid-state PA) worked well. We got the station built in record time but the operating tent (and station) nearly blew away about 45 min before the start due to a high gust of wind. Other than breeze/gusts of wind the weather held out pretty well.

Could not make it for B/P so gave away points especially to stns in last hour, the grave yard shift!!!.

Increasing cloud cover and S S/W wind. Quite pleasant at picnic table behind windbreak, but batteries drooped at the end of the day as the solar panel provided little power. Sorry about Tx signal, power supply fault!

Some very strong signals from N France but otherwise flat band with many German stations heard briefly but unworkable in practice.

Quite hard going trying to get people to turn north! Conditions were generally quite good with ON, PA, F stations audible pretty well all the time. Apologies to M3WDS - he's a tryer a real trooper. Never completed yet, but he tried VERY hard!

WX perfect - RF abysmal ! 2hr 42min before the 1st answer to my CQ. Thanks to all who made the attempt to beam into GM.

UK activity very poor. Condx not good to SE. Really hard work this year. Equipment all worked faultlessly.

Driving rain & cold Sat, better Sunday but flat conditions

Plenty of F stations around. Not such a lot of UK activity.

A lack of UK stations, particularly locals, which, at least, allowed me a chance to work some of the Continentals. :-)

Poor condx - no tropo 800Km ODX = flat band

Cold & wet, very wet on the way back. Pole broke in the wind.

Nice to work OZ and OK. 1 ping of S5 heard but not worked. Decent level of activity around Europe including the UK despite rumblings on the UK reflector. GM4ZUK/P was strong throughout. Station in neighboring square made life interesting across swathes of the band, and surely this was reciprocal. All in all, great fun. 23 hours operated.

Worked little to the North from JO01, Europe and West were best directions .. and then the rain came! Thanks for all contacts.

Wet and windy again, this time with S7 rain static! Can some decent summer weather be arranged for next year please?

Beautiful summers afternoon. DX into PA, ON and F. DL heard but not worked. Nothing from GD or EI.

Was bit late starting, getting tent up etc. Rain dried off though, afternoon lovely. Had nice time and condx good to F ON PA.

Warm, light cumulus, steady breeze. Lots of Europeans (F, ON, DF, DL, T9) heard but not worked despite many attempts, ditto lots of English stations! Unfortunately the band went almost silent at 1400Z on the dot!

Wild night heavens opens and a couple of high gusts one seen off my rotator, got drowned rotating antenna by hand Grrrrr. Thanks for the points 73s TM6M Lots of wind during contest. Some good activity to UK. Pity no more GM except GM4ZUK/P and GM0PJT/P. Thanks all for qsos. F6KHM crew References Visible links 1. mailto:G4BVY@vhfcc.org?subject=144MHz%20Trophy%202007
