Comments from the logs:
1.3GHz:
G0BWC/P
The warmest day since April! Some contacts on FM too G3CKR/P
We were just on the egde of the tropo. Was to high with the dish should have been 9 ft of the ground very hard to find PA's just audible G3OHM/P
Activity and conditions seemed much better this year. G3TCU/P
Condx seemed average, UK activity poor. The Wx was extremely hot and our site was only mediocre G3XDY
Great conditions to Germany, a few Scandinavians and a couple of OKs. Challenge for the RX with many v strong signals & radar. G4HGI
good rx extremely poor tx G4NBS
Curates Egg of a contest, Conditions not as good as predicted but some nice Dx around Not near enough to coast or high enough to work what others heard. G5B
Condx were not with us until the very very last! G7APD
Very quiet G8CUL
Poor activity G8ONK
Fair conditions but few stations GM4JR
HARD going. Cdx fair, but no beams going north unless physically dragged screaming and kicking. GW8IZR
Cant say it was as good as expected, watched beacons drop to noise level at start of 'test. Spent 30 Mins swapping gaas fet mid session then drank a little wine ;-) M0DDC/P
First 23cm contest for us. Few long distance contacts in UK but we benefited from the sea path into Europe. The contact with OZ was a special bonus. Thanks to all, Blackwater Contest Group M1CRO/P
Coastal enhancement 2.3GHz:
G3CKR/P
Was out of the condition just on the egde. G3OHM/P
Activity and conditions seemed much better this year, but maybe running 400w helps :-) G3XDY
Good conditions and activity, some very strong signals. G4NBS
Struggle with QRP but interesting 1st time on band from home. Conditions were much better before contest started? Not quite in the right place to work Eu stations G8CUL
Poor activity M1CRO/P
Coastal enhancement allowed most of Europe to appreciate our poor signal until we worked out what was wrong and fixed it. A little too late for this event, it has to be said. |
