    G3SJJ
    Spent the first 20 minutes S&P yielding a neat 34 Qs, then as I tuned back down the band found a clear spot on 3524 and stayed there the rest of the time, although interspersing 2nd RX S&P. Static was a steady s9 throughout.
    Having a suffered a painful mosquito bite on my keying hand during the night and then been to the funeral of the late G3IGW today, I can't say I was all that motivated, although I had decided that I would dedicate this effort to the memory of Mike. In the past he had been a keen LF band contester and DXer, contributing to the understanding of greyline propagation.
    Usual setup - FT1kMP, 100w to a dipole at 17m.

    G3SWH
    HAD TO CLOSE EARLY BUT
    A GOOD RUN

    G3SXW
    10w only = QRP
    75 Q's less 1 dup = 74

    G3TBK
    Rather noisy tonight
    Will have to find something else to do at night next month!
    Could the next series run from October to April?

    G3TXF
    Enjoyed the seventh and last CW Contest of the series
    Looking forward to next year's. They are just like mini-AFS's!

    G3UFY
    RIG - FT817, 5W output
    ANTENNA - Marconi with 34' vertical, 90' top
    Band very noisy with heavy QRN later. Surprised to work as
    many as I did. Like many others, I suspect, I'm looking
    forward to the start of the next series!

    G3VIP
    RIG FT301S + FL110 100W ANT 40M LONG WIRE

    G3WRR
    RIG - FT1000
    ANTENNAS - 50ft longwire @ 15ft
    Enjoyable, but not a serious effort on my part.
    No ATU and a 5:1 SWR ensured this was the case!

    G3YEC
    Last one for this year been a nice little set.
    Still have stations in contests not listening before
    they call on YOUR frequency. I could hear the weak guy
    two stations obviously could not !!

    G3YHV
    VERY SLOW GOING THIS EVENING, NOT SURE WHY ?

     

    G4EOF
    Things seemed very slow tonight.

    G4FKA
    Final session so hoped for good things and lots of QRS corral.
    However hob nob doublet had other ideas. SWR all over the place.
    Back into garden and discovered windings coming off tubes.
    Lots of red sticky tape saved the day!

    G4LPD
    FT920 & DIPOLE

    G4OGB
    The band seemed noisier for this session

    G4RLS
    SUPER CONTEST, ENJOYED VERY MUCH.
    TS850S, 80M LOADED DIPOLE

    A last minute first attempt as didn't get home until 8
    then friends called round at 8.30!!
    Must buy a cw narrow filter!

     

    M0CMQ
    Condx quite good here in north east London.

    M0MDF
    Great contest - let them continue !

    GW0ETF
    Just getting the hang of it after a couple of tries...

    Hope this series of contests will continue

    G0GDU/P
    Found the going tough with less than 10W into a 40/80m vertical with high SWR
    Tried to calling CQ but got only one taker and kept losing frequency to much stronger stations
    Stuck to search and pounce

    G0OKF
    Conditions OK

    G0RAF
    AN ENJOYABLE EVENT
    TIME WELL SPENT

    G0RKT
    Enjoyed the contest

    G0TPH
    A poor effort - I was completely contested out after VHF NFD.

    G0UHM
    Most people don't respond at the speed they receive

    G0VDZ
    where did the time go good fun look forward to next year

    G3CWI
    Enthusiasm is now flagging.

    G3GLL
    band rather noisy otherwise conditions not bad

    G3HKO
    Noise level high. Changed G5RV for 80m dipole
    made no difference. New location next year perhaps.
    Many thanks to all.

    G3HRH
    A bit slower than usual
    Some QRN
    At least one station below 3520
    A pump-handle key and pencil log slows the rate
    Thanks to those who QRS the serial number

    G3IZD
    Band good later noisy. I think AFS should also be
    100W limit the band would be so much more
    usable

    G3KKQ
    Conditions not so good and activity down hence lower
    score. CQ s did not work so well so had to H & P most
    of the time.
    Good Contest and look forward to same next year.

    G3KUM
    Heavy QRN first half improved later.
    Thanks to all for being patient.
    My first year at contesting.

    G3LDI
    Available QSO's seemed to dry up by 2100z. Guess
    a lot of people are on holiday.

    G3LIK
    Good conditions and nice to meet familiar calls

    G3NKS
    At last I managed to start on time and do the full
    90 minutes. Great fun. Same again next year please.

    G3OLB
    Transceiver IC706 MKIIG
    Antenna - End fed half wave sloper
    First of these contests I have entered,
    Just as much fun as the old Cumulative Activity contests.

    G3ORY
    Poor start - suffering from VHF NFD hangover?

    G3RIR
    static crash on rx-ing his call caused G3TXF to shout NO NO
    as I sent TKF to him -- sorry

    G3RSD
    Electrical storm noise and fading signals otherwise
    enjoyable

    G3SET
    For the first time I picked a spot and stayed on it
    Thanks

    G3YMC
    Activity seemed rather down this session, and towards the end it was hard to find stations I had not worked before. Conditions seemed a bit down as well. Hopefully next year we will get some interest from other club members, certainly as a club we have done remarkably well but it seems hard to get some of our members actually on the air! 73 Dave

    G3ZBE
    Changed the antenna and seem to be getting better
    results or is it wishfull thinking?
    Band seemed fairly busy but a lot less qrm than the SSB
    legs!

    G3ZGC
    Lots of new stations appeared for this contest.
    An enjoyable evening but a very high background noise level.

    G3ZRJ
    Glad to have a reasonable attendance for the last
    of these CW sessions. Most of the regulars on the
    band but no chance for a real great score
    Thanks again for organising these Contests
    they are a real stimulus to operating from Clubs

    G4ARN/P
    band conditions not too bad but needs ideas
    to encourage more contestants (club members)
    to take part

    G4DBW
    elecraft k2 5 watts output G5RV at 20feet agl
    Best QSO count yet - hit 60 for first time HI!
    Sat on freq and run for 1hr 10min -changed to S&P QSO rate picked up
    Should have gone to S&P earlier !

    G4DDX
    Have not been able to decode morse and type into the
    computer at the same time. Usually had to use paper
    first. These contests have helped me to do this
    though I have to call CQ slowly with the hope a call
    comes back slowly! Good contest. Lots of QRN.GU0SUP
    Found the band noisy for this one, which made it a little harder
    than previous months, but it was still enjoyable.

     

    GW4ALG
    I've enjoyed all of the sessions
    and hope that the event can be run again
    next year. The only change I'd like to see to the format
    of the event would be the addition of a QRP section.
    Rig: Homemade transceiver
    Power: 5W RF output
    Antenna: Inverted V Doublet

    M0BPQ
    New radio with better filters and wow what a difference! I worked the first 7 people with only
    20mW as the rig was still set up to drive a tvtr for VHF FD. Congrats to those who heard me!
    Lost a few minutes due to a computer crash
