    G3TBK
    GOOD FAIR CONTEST, WITHOUT ANY UNBELIEVABLY STRONG SIGNALS.
    LITTLE HEARD FROM THE NORTH, AND NOBODY FROM GM.
    Congratulations on the rapid adjudication and publication of results,
    The usual delay of several months is a total turn-off to youngsters.

    G3TKF
    What a lot of noise on the band

    G3UFY
    Run frequency picked up some SSB QRM soon after the start and I couldn't find a better one that was free. Seem to have missed out on the  M3s and 2Es despite taking pains to send slowly.

    G3VIP
    RIG FT301 80 watts out, antenna 50m Long Wire

    G3VQO
    just the right length - struggling to find anybody
    else to work

    G3WRR
    RIG - FT1000D
    ANTENNAS - 50ft longwire at 15ft
    Glad to see activity holding up - HFCC seem to have
    hit on a successful format here - well done!

    G3WYW
    Computer failure 2 mins before start meant fallback
    plan i.e. panic! did contest with manual key and paper
    logging..just like the old days! Got a run going for
    the last 30 minutes great fun!

    G3WZT
    Band conditions not as good as March but great fun just the same.
    Just about the right length and good to hear so many
    club stations active.
    Suits me better than AFS !

    G3XSV
    I must admit to being one of the many false-starters.
    Worked 3 before being informed... Ooops! Reset.
    Activity slightly down on the last one.

    G3YAJ
    Still a good contest

    G3YMC
    There seemed to solar activity and many signals
    had auroral tones (even G3XTT 10 miles away!).
    I was disappointed not to work more but it was hard
    work on QRP and I thought activity was down from
    other events (maybe the 1 hour time shift?). 73 Dave

    G3ZBU
    It seemed to take a long time before anyone
    heard me! Tried to use SD keyer for first time.

    G3ZRJ
    SPENT ALMOST ENTIRE CONTEST CLG CQ WHICH MOST
    UNUSUAL FOR ME THE CONTEST SEEMED TO GO PRETTY
    WELL HERE . A TERRIFIC DIFFERENCE HAVING THE
    FT902DM RATHER THAN THE TEN TEC SCOUT VASTLY BETTER
    RECEIVER SIDE.

    G4CKH

    At least the shack is getting warmer now Spring is here !

    G4EBK
    I Started well then went downhill to the end.

    M0DDT
    Will try to be a better op next time!

    SOAPBOX:

    G0AKC
    My first CW contest in years. I came on to give my club
    a few points. I was very rusty but really enjoyed it!

    G0AOJ
    Condx not quite as good tonight

    G0GDU/P
    FT1000MP & 160M DIPOLE @ 60FT
    10W & INEFFICIENT ANTENNA MADE FOR HARD WORK

    G0LHZ
    I was suprised to work Lithuania, Yugoslavia,
    Ukraine and the Czech Republic as well as
    the usual French and German stations

    G0MRH
    Good conditions. Seemed to quickly work as many
    stations as I could hear and then the rate
    slowed down.

    G0MTN
    Didn't do as well this time around....
    Fun to listen to those who tried to start an hour
    early. Will Tim 'BEW publish soapbox comments
    that go "wibble wibble" to the website ? Let's find
    out ! :-)
    [Editor: Sure will]

    G0OKF
    SER NO SENT USING RIG KEYER - IT FALTERED.
    CONDITIONS TO ME WERE ONLY FAIR.
    I STARTED BADLY AND DID NOT IMPROVE MUCH!!

    G0POT
    Heard a few station start early due to the shift from
    GMT to BST! Far fewer stations heard than during the
    last SSB contest. All the machine guns kindly QRS'd
    for me demonstrating the friendliness of the CW ops.

    G0RAF
    WE DIDN'T START AN HOUR EARLY-NOT US-WHO
    WOULD BE SO STUPID-NOT US-WELL MAYBE !!

    G0TPH
    The format of this contest is so good, and now that the
    clocks have changed and the kids have gone to bed by the
    start of the contest it is even better

    G3ASQ
    Antenna problem-unable to work stations properly

    G3CWI
    Seemed quieter than other sessions - perhaps due to holidays?
    This made QRP rather easier than expected.

    G3GLL
    Conditions pretty good
    Local qrn not good!
    Otherwise a good little contest

    G3HRH
    Cndx not as good as before. Some QSB and heavier QRM.

    G3JJZ
    RIG - TS940 100W
    ANTENNAS - 85ft LW

    G3JRM
    TEL 01502 740965
    SUPER CONTEST, ENJOYED VERY MUCH.
    TS850S, 80M DOUBLET UP 50FT

    G3KUM
    ENJOYABLE BUT PITY ABOUT CLOCK CHANGE.
    OK FOR THOSE NIGHT OWLS

    G3LIK
    Nice friendly little contest. Missed first 30 minutes

    G3NAS
    IC756 and Inv vee at 60'

    G3OGP
    GOOD DURATION FOR AN EVENING CONTEST

    G3ORY
    Another fun session. Faded towards the end.

    G3RIR
    I wonder if a real start at 2000 BST would be a good idea next year

    G3RSD
    A lot of fading signals going to be interesting as the
    daylight lengthens

    G3SET
    Band crowded as normal below 3550 but few stations
    in the QRS corral and none of them very QRS either.
    Good contest.

    G3SVD
    Excellent series of contests - great fun.
    This event seemed to be less well supported than previous one
    Looking forward to the next in the series

    G4EOF
    REALLY EXCELLENT AGAIN EVEN GOT A PILEUP GOING I NEED MORE PRACTICE ---

    G4FON
    Conditions here not as good as last month.
    This is a really effective and enjoyable contest format.

    G4IRN
    High winds gave me antenna problems to start off with. Then
    my logging laptop wouldn't work, then my FT1000 failed.
    I was doomed from the start. FT857 to the rescue!

    G4OGB
    Very strange - condx good, but score down.

    G4PIQ/P
    First serious attempt at this event - some tweaking of how I deal
    with the second VFO needed for next time. Not sure that antenna was optimum either (Delta Loop @ 23m, but set up for low angle)

    G4TPH
    My first cw qso in 22 years.

    G6FOP
    poor conditions

    GU0SUP
    Had some fun, even if I did try to start one hour early!
    Plenty of activity, but I really need to try CQ'ing a bit more.

    GU4YBW
    Another fun evening conditions good but crowded.

    GW3KDB
    FT1000mp, Doublet at 45'

    GW4ALG
    Another fun event. My score was slightly down when
    compared to the previous session (72 vs. 81 QSOs),
    but I'm not sure whether this was due to less activity
    or just different propagation conditions. This was my
    first use of CT for DOS, and I was very pleased with it.
    I just need to improve my receive speed, and get some
    more practice running CQs.
    Rig: Homemade transceiver
    Power: 5W RF output
    Antenna: Inverted V Doublet

    M0AJT
    Very enjoyable lots of activity

    M0BPQ
    Couldn't hold a run freq with 10w, but overall was fun.
    This was my best ever  rate on cw, so I hope this means I am improving. However, I still have a lot to learn when it comes to cw contesting and these events provide me with a good learning environment. See you next month!

    M0CMQ
    CONDX: quite until after 21:15.
