    G3UFY
    Didn't get in 'til late - just time to scan the band!

    G3WVG
    DIPOLE at 60ft + ICOM 706 100W

    G3WYW
    S&P for 1st hour then run for last hour. 35 QSOs SP in
    1st hour then 49 Running for 30 minutes. Best Strategy
    is obviously to get a run going and stick to it.
    Good Condx this time with good skip around UK, some
    Continental QRM causing problems. roll on the next one.

    G3XSV
    Running QRP, so very difficult to hold a frequency.

    G3YAJ
    Yet again noisy but enjoyable

    G3YEC
    Lot of continentals complaining about CC event being
    on 80 !! No space to get a slot to call CQ.
    Some VERY strong G signals. !!
    Still all good fun with the grandchild on my knee !!

    G3ZBE
    Wow! This contest series is really catching on!
    Had a struggle getting a clear(?) frequency.
    Was 60 mins in before I could run at all.

    G3ZRJ
    FIRST REAL SSB CONTEST IVE DONE IN A WHILE
    QUITE INTERESTING AND VERY THIRST MAKING
    THIS VOICE STUFF WILL NEVER CATCH ON YOU KNOW
    73 TO ALL INVOLVED IN THESE CONTEST
    LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT CONTEST

    G4AGE
    no computer need second hand

    G4BUO
    First hour went very well, despite continental QRM, but then the
    rate took a dive with very few replies to my CQs.

    G4DDX
    SIGS SEEM TO BE GETTING BETTER AND I HAVE LESS QRM IT
    SEEMS FROM POWER LINES AT PRESENT. ENJOYED MYSELF
    AS USUAL.

    G4EZT
    PHONE RANG JUST BEFORE CONTEST, CAME BACK AND THERE WERE NO GAPS ON THE BAND!
    NEED A BIT MORE BANDWIDTH!

    G4MRQ
    First time working in the 80m contest
    Made contact with one local station
    using coax to a 70cms beam - high SWR !

    G4NKT
    Enjoyed it

    G4SJM/P
    Very well supported evening

    G6FOP
    Excellent conditions, making difficult operating. Very Good Fun

    G7HCL
    Operators should only use phonetics in callsigns

    G8FMJ/P
    Noisy but good fun.

    GU0SUP
    Oh boy! SSB is such hard work! Despite that, it was fun.

    GW3KDB
    FT1000mp. 10w. Doublet at 45'

    GW4BLE
    ONLY MY 2ND "SERIOUS" SSB ENTRY - MISSED
    THE MARCH EVENT, AND ONLY HALF AN HOUR IN FEBRUARY.

    M0SAR
    Prefer if contest times were Local not UTC.

    M1DDD
    Not as good conditions as previous. Had a carrier close
    to my TX freq during the entire contest
    I moved from log number 75 to 80 by mistake and missed
    out 4 numbers and so have listed the same station so
    as to esure score is correct.!

    M1KAH
    my first contest

    M3ABC
    paper logging due to computer death
    lots of QRM from strong local station ;-)
    Running QRP, so didnt try to hold a frequency until 2055.

    M3CVN
    Good Contest Much more space to call CQ

    M3FRZ
    Yaesu FT100D QRP 10Watts
    84 foot end-fed at 18 feet agl
    Jolly hard work!

    M3JUH
    Good 4th contest hope I do better with this Cabrillo
    log

    M3LIB
    Very very Noisy

    M3TBK
    Very bad qrn reaching s9, but still strong s/n ratios.
    Can't believe G3TBK/P beat me but he did have the NFD qth on a hilltop.

    MU3GSY
    Moderate conditions tonight
    Usual heavy splatter at times

    G3LLK
    100 W HALF WAVE DIPOLE

    G3NLY
    FT990, Long wire

    G3RIR
    Deliberate jamming slowed my effort

    G3SVD
    Very enjoyable contest bringing fun back into radio

    G3TBK/P
    Edward (M3TBK) claimed the home station, so I had to go to our NFD Site.
    Good fun, and the antenna (dipole at 40ft) on the heath with no trees around made up for the qrp.
    Had to go QRP because I was running on battery.

    G3TXF
    Sorry, but got going a bit too late. Good to hear
    some high serial numbers and also several 'new'
    callsigns: both recently issued called as well as
    some 'old timer' calls that I've not worked before.

    2E0ZYQ
    My first contest ever- learning all the time
    Found it very enjoyable so see you next time

    2E1GUA
    It was hard working QRP, But good fun and still enjoyed
    the contest. Several big signals and lots of activity

    EI3JE
    Great first hour then conditions changed. Inter G too strong, too far away.

    G0AKC
    A lot of QRM including deliberate jamming

    G0AOJ
    THERE SEEMED TO LACK OF BANDWITH

    G0GDU
    FT1000 + W3DZZ @ 45ft

    G0KLR/M
    Mobile on Cat and Fiddle Pub carpark
    Really enjoyed it but hard work !

    G0MRH
    Late making a start but able to have good
    run of searching and pouncing

    G0MTN
    Noise, Europeans, plus friends of the 10 kHz SSTV exclusion
    zone. Difficult to co-exist without fraying nerves !
    Lost initial frequency about 5 minutes in, searched for a
    long while, had highest rates at the end when finally found
    somewhere to call CQ. Still, good to see increasing support!

    G0MUR
    conditions not as good as last month

    G0POT
    Very difficult working stations on just 5w SSB! Very
    dissapointed with UK hams attitude to 'stealing' the
    frequency from European stations just because it was
    within the contest segment. Hope to see more
    gentlemanly operating in future for the contest sake.

    G0RKT
    Very Busy popular contest

    G0VJG
    HAD PROBLEM WITH DL9AHMWHO SAYS 3.651 IS NOT CONEST
    FREQUENCIES MADE IT SO DIFICULT AFTER ASKING QRL TWICE
    AFTER 38 QSO I HAD TO MOVE MAN HAS HANG UP ABOUT
    CONTEST IF HE EMAIL U I WOULD LIKE HIS E MAIL AD HAS IT
    IS NOT ON QRZ .COM TKS 73S PS ENJOYED CONTEST WELLDONE

    G0VQR
    This was by far the worst contest I have ever been in.
    One thing is sure, I will NEVER go into another 80M
    SSB contest again
    I found a clear frequency, asking 3 times if
    the frequency was in use with no reply, before calling CQ,
    then after about 5 minutes on the frequency
    a station deliberately started giving me QRM
    After 5 minutes of trying to wind me up, he finally told me, as I had been
    stopping him make QSO,s because of QRM he would do the
    same to me. If he had told me I was causing him a problem I
    would have QSY straight away. This person used a G3 call sign
    believe it or not.
    I have never deliberately caused interference to another station.
    I have never been rude or swore (and never will) on air.
    This type of behaviour is getting so common now.
    Contests and Dxpeditions always seem to bring the worst out in people.

    G0WCW/P
    Band busy as usual. Some QRM - but that's life!

    G0WSP
    CABRILLO IS HARD WORK

    G3CWI
    Good session. Managed to hold a frequency for the whole contest.

    G3GLL
    My first ssb club session! Only did 30 mins!
    What a racket! Give me CW any day of the week!

    G3JJZ

    a station deliberately started giving me QRM
    After 5 minutes of trying to wind me up, he finally told me, as I had been
    stopping him make QSO,s because of QRM he would do the
    same to me. If he had told me I was causing him a problem I
    would have QSY straight away. This person used a G3 call sign
    believe it or not.
    I have never deliberately caused interference to another station.
    I have never been rude or swore (and never will) on air.
    This type of behaviour is getting so common now.
    Contests and Dxpeditions always seem to bring the worst out in people.
