    G3WWT
    Too fast! Where is the old QRS Cummulatives?

    G3WYW
    Once again a great contest. I like the 90minutes
    duration. As someone else said you can get the chores
    done and then have a good bash at it. Roll on the next
    one

    G3WZT

    Loads of activity this time !

    G3XTT
    FT-1000D, inv-vee at 40ft, 100 Watts
    Good fun but missed first 5 mins, so fell short of the magic 100 Q's!

    G3YAJ
    ENJOYABLE

    G3YEC
    Some VERY LOUD statios on. Makes me wonder.
    Also why do some send at 25-28 WPM and yet seem
    incapable of receiving at 25 WPM. Whatever happened
    to the old maxim send at the speed you can receive.

    G3YMC
    What a fun contest! Plenty of activity and good conditions to the UK
    But I wish I could have worked more. My longwire does not get out
    that well on 80m and calling CQ was not as effective as it should have
    been. Using 5W from the K2, a genuine QRP entry.
    The March CW event clashes with our club meeting, great pity...

    G3ZBU
    Unfortunately the date clashed with a social meeting
    at the pub so we swapped points for pints!!!

    G3ZRJ
    Domestic QRM interrupted my entry shame as I was
    enjoying the operating
    Will try and do better next time
    Thanks for another great Test guys

    G4AGE
    ok
    none

    G4BCA
    This is an excellent contest for clubs with geographically
    distributed members, and my first for several years. Really enjoyed it!

    M0AJM
    Kwd TS 570, Inverted L at 9m

    M0CMQ
    at 20:00 hours... Will my 80m vertical do well?
    at 21:28 hours... not too bad!

    G0DAY
    Not the largest score on the block but, as they say,
    'every little helps'.

    G0MRH
    Conditions good tonight but perhaps not as many
    stations on-air this time.
    Another enjoyable contest

    G0OKF
    CONDX SEEMED NOISY BUT GOOD HERE

    G0RAF
    ANOTHER GREAT EVENING

    G0TPH
    A nice format for a contest

    G0VDZ
    good fun again

    G3GLL
    Conditions much better than the last cw session
    Nice to work old'uns and new'uns again!
    A good little contest!

    G3IZD
    GOOD CONDX FOR UK/EU WKG.SOME STATIONS NEW TO
    CONTESTING SEND THEIR CALL AND EXCHANGE BEFORE
    BEING ACKNOWLEDGED.THE 100W LIMIT MADE THE BAND
    MUCH MORE USABLE AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO AFS.

    G3JRM
    SUPER CONTEST, ENJOYED VERY MUCH.
    TS940S 80MTR DOUBLET.

    G3KKQ
    Good condx and plenty activity. QRP didn't seem to
    be a disadvantage

    G3KUM
    NOT MANY STRONG SIGNALS

    G3LIK
    A lot more activity but felt it discouraged the newer people
    To CW and there few people on the top end of the band.
    Nice to hear a lot of friendly calls.

    G3NCN
    First ever contest using SD! Enjoyed it.

    G3NFB
    I enjoyed this session. Propagation much better this time.

    G3SJJ
    I can confirm that I was using just the FT1kMP barefoot and that
    the amplifier was switched off for the whole evening. I have long
    argued that a "Standard Transceiver Power" (used to be 100w!) rule would be observed. My antenna was a G10 (for the newer guys) formerly known as a double-sized 5RV. Centre at 50ft, ends around 20ft, so the current maxima would be at about 40ft I guess. 104ft per leg, fed with 60ft of 300 ohm feeder with a join in it, then a Radio Works line isolator into about 150ft of H103 coax. Indicated swr in the shack on 3535 was 2.3:1. Flattened this with the MP's internal matching unit. Difficult to comment on signal strengths, I struggled with a couple but otherwise there was an acceptable spread. I had the IPO switched out and 6db of attenuation in. My noise level was reasonable good, about s7.
    On operating technique, I decided to go like a bat out of hell,
    slowing down as per NKC, for as long as I could, and interspersed any lulls with S&P on the sub rx. In the last 30 minutes sub-rx S&P QSOs outnumbered Run QSOs by 3 to 1.
    Amusingly the last sub rx S&P QSO was with Dave NKC, after which I lost my Run freq to G3KLH (big sig) as I wasn't quick enough to get back there. NKC was on 100 to my 97. I went full Search and Pounce and must have found a further 6 to his 4. C'est la vie.

    G3TKF
    Started a bit late and had too many glasses of wine before !

    G3UFY
    RIG - FT1000MP
    ANTENNAS - Inverted L
    These little contests seem to have caught on in no
    uncertain terms. Have we got it right for once???

    G3WGV
    Nice to have good conditions on 80m for this event. Also good
    to hear a decent number of M0 and M5 stations having a go.

    G3WRR
    Gratifying level of activity. Got on very late
    due to a couple of incoming phone calls!

    G3WVG
    TS930 ..100 W o/p +Dipole at 50ft

    G4JRY
    MUCH BETTER CONDITIONS HAD FUN

    Time flies when you're enjoying yourself.

    G4SLE

    at 20:00 hours... Will my 80m vertical do well?
    at 21:28 hours... not too bad!

    G4IIY
    Found an excellent frequency - S1 noise
    with some static crashes towards the end.
    Got a lot more Qs on the 2nd VFO this time.
