    G3YEC
    Nice start to the 2005 season ! Problem with skidding
    morse key need more sticky tape to hold it down !!

    G3YHV
    What a lot of weak signals here, even SJJ and BUO were weak and crappy !

    G3YMC
    As predicted the F0 was below 3.5MHz and there
    was virtually no inter G propagation. So it was
    a struggle even to make my 25QSOs. The committee
    should consider bringing forward this leg by an hour
    next year to get round this problem. 73 Dave

    G3ZBE
    Very difficult conditions low signal levels and marked Qsb

    G3ZBU
    Signals seemed very weak this time.

    G3ZGC/P
    /p from G3LLKs QTH. IC775DSP 100w to Dipole at 50ft

    G3ZHE
    Noise from S5 to S7 with bursts of S9. Got the feeling that many gave up by
    21:00 hrs as condx bad. Rig here Icom-756 pro 100W Ant: 130' centre fed doublet
    30' up with 300 ohm ribbon and MFJ auto tuner. Lots of fun many thanks.

    G3ZRJ
    YUKKKKKKKKKKK CONDX NOT A GOOD NIGHT FOR
    QRP OPERATION. I HOPE TO HAVE A 25 AMP PSU
    IN TIME FOR THE NEXT CC CONTEST LET RIP WITH 80W
    FROM MY OMNI D
    MANY MANY STNS CALLED WITHOUT RESPONSE

    G4BUO
    Conditions took a real dive 10 minutes into the contest.
    Nice to hear some new calls active.

    G4DDX
    Awful conditions and band noise improved about 2115
    with me. Also arcing insulator on pylons did not help!

    G4EOF
    Great they're back!

    G4FON
    Everthing was fine until around 20:30 when the band collapsed! Still, it is fun to be back in the groove again.

    G4FQR
    Icom 706 Mk2G 50Watts
    DOUBLET ANT 50M LONG; 10M HIGH;

    G4OGB
    POOR CNDX SEEMED LONG SKIP SOON AFTER START

    G4SLE
    the worst condx I have heard on 80m for a long time

    G4VXE
    Great to get back on these sessions!

    G6BOX
    HERE WE GO AGAIN. HOPE TO ENTER A FEW MORE OF THE EVENTS THIS YEAR
    SLOW ALTHOUGH ENJOYABLE BASH AND A GOOD WARM UP FOR AFS TO COME.
    MY CODE SPEED WILL IMPROVE (HOPEFULLY)

    GU4WTN
    First 80m champs, enjoyed it a lot.

    GW0ETF
    A real struggle after the first 30 minutes when most UK
    signals dropped towards the noise level - thankful for
    the few EU stations taking part

    GW3KDB
    DREADFUL INTER-G CONDITIONS
    FT1000mp. Doublet at 45 ft.

    GW3PRL
    Poor condx

    GW4ALG
    A few days earlier Dave G3YMC had predicted the
    likelihood of poor conditions, but I was still surprised
    by the very poor propagation throughout this event.
    I always look forward to the challenge of running QRP
    in a predominantly QRO contest and, on this occasion,
    I was certainly not disappointed!
    Rig: Homemade transceiver
    Power: 5W RF output
    Antenna: Inverted V Doublet

    M5ALG
    FT1000mp @10 watts / W3EDP Long wire at 20'
    Lots of QRM at this location S7-9. Still I enjoyed it
    for the first contest of the year

    M5CSM
    Most of the stations were very weak.

    YL3DX
    IC-746PRO 100W, DIPOLE

    SOAPBOX:

    G0ADH
    FT757 - G5RV

    G0AOJ
    Very poor band conditions

    G0EYR
    Very high noise level in town difficult condx

    G0GDU
    RIG FT1000; PWR=10W; ANT=W3DZZ AT 30FT

    G0HFX
    What awful conditions !

    G0MRH
    Late joining the contest and found the band
    very noisy and very few stations readable
    Calling for about 15 minutes brought in only
    one station. Hope conditons improve for the
    remainder of the contests
    Logged using Super Duper and WinKey, worked fine.

    G0MTN
    Conditions favoured long distance contacts tonight
    or perhaps everyone had decided to try QRP :-)
    Really struggled to hear and be heard with my antenna
    Good job its the taking part that counts.....
    FT1000mp Field + Windom @ 18 feet (bit windy outside)

    G0OKF
    CONDX AWFUL

    G0PSE
    SD SUPPORTED MY FIRST USE OF WINKEY VERY WELL

    G0RAF
    LOTS OF NOISE ON BAND TODAY

    G0RKT
    noisy on band low signals

    G0TPH
    Very hard going, 5w just wasn't enough to get my CQs heard.

    G0WKW
    terrible conditions

    G3FIJ
    Band Very Noisy

    G3GLL
    Band conditions very poor here.
    improving towards the end as usual!
    Using SD v11.08

    G3HRH
    condx started poor and got worse in Cornwall
    deep QSB on most signals
    little activity above 3540
    band usually wall-to-wall but not tonight

    G3IZD
    Very poor conditions even the known big signals were
    mostly unreadable. Didnt realise condx so bad
    until running gave 15Qs in 1st 40 mins!!

    G3JJZ
    RIG - TS940S 100W
    ANTENNAS - 85' LW
    WILL BE STARTING LATE FOR A NUMBER OF THESE.
    SHAME ABOUT THE CONDX!!

    G3KKQ
    HARD GOING WITH QRP. CONDX NOISY WITH QSB

    G3KLH
    Good signals at the start but deteriorated rapidly soon after 2100 with only 7 contacts in the last 20 minutes

    G3KNU
    Skip started long and then got longer. Many G's weak

    G3LHJ
    Good fun lots of activity and good to hear
    a lot of up and coming CW Ops having a go.

    G3LIK
    Inter G signals varyable but nice to hear some European
    signals coming through.

    G3MXH/P
    Had a clash of dates. The shortest committee meeting
    on record!

    G3NAS
    Had to make do with a vertical as the top section of my tower folded
    over the day before bringing down the beams and LF antennas.

    G3NFB
    It's good to be back despite the very high noise level
    preventing none but the strongest sigs to be heard

    G3NKS
    Terrible conditions signals mostly weak and
    in the noise.

    G3NLY
    Do I get a bonus for the lowest score? cw not my strong point, unfortunately.
    FT1000mp, Trapped Inv. Vee.
    2000-2130 rather too late for winter months.

    G3OGP
    First use of new version of SD - worked well

    G3ORY
    The band was very noisy and NVIS propagation virtually
    absent.

    G3PJT
    Only half an hour operating

    G3RIR
    Apologies to those who called but I couldn't pull
    through my high noise level

    G3RSD
    DIFFICULT CONDX REMINDED ME OF DRIVING IN A THICK FOG

    G3SET
    POOR PROPAGATION AND DELIBERATE QRM. NOT A GOOD START

    G3SJJ
    Propagation appeared to favour the south in the first hour. G3WZT came
    and sat on sat on my frequency after the first 20 minutes and just wouldn't
    budge. I guess he wasn't hearing me although he was hearing the guys calling
    him. Suspect I will have have several "Not in Log" Qs.

    G3SJX
    My first effort in the 80m Club Championship

    G3TBK
    Very strange condx, Midland Gs very weak. GU stations were strong also DLs and UTs
    MANY OF LAST YEARS REGULARS NOT HEARD.

    G3TKF
    Very odd conditions towards the end - all G stations disappeared into the noise !

    G3TXF
    Started late. Condx odd - everyone apart from G3WVG (5km away) sounded
    as if they were in the QRP section! Apologies to the couple
    of stations that I could just not drag out of the noise.

    G3UFY
    RIG - FT817 5W O/P
    ANTENNAS - Dipole at 30'
    QRP is very hard work with such poor short skip. Never had so many
    stations who couldn't hear me! Roll on the lighter evenings!

    G3VHB
    Great Fun

    G3VIP
    RIG FT301S 10w ANTENNA 40m LW
    Condx long skip G's very weak at times.

    G3VQO
    just like somebody switched the band "off" about 15mins
    into contest - real hard going, but fun

    G3WNI
    Very noisey band in my location. My first entry after a
    long lay-off. Found it difficult operating.

    G3WVG
    ts930+dipole at 60ft
    Noisey condx with most uk stns weak.

    G3WZT
    MUCH QUIETER THAN SIMILAR CONTESTS LAST YEAR.
    DONT CHANGE THE FORMAT.

    G3XSV
    What awful conditions !

     

    M0CMQ
    Using SD, a paddle (please forgive any LID- LIKE noises)
    and the rig's cw message memory.
    I'll get better sometime soon!

    M0GJH
    First time on CW!

    M0MDF
    I FOUND THE CONDX LOUSY - SO MUCH NOISE - IT WAS ONLY
    THE LOUDEST STATIONS THAT I COULD HEAR.

    M0CNP
    Operators M0CNP
    What a start! I completely messed up on the exchanges. Next time will be better!!!!!

    M0PTR
    My first attempt at the 80M CC. Very poor conditions at my QTH.

    M3CVN
    Good Contest. Nice to see EU getting active in the CC


    HAPPY NEW YEAR! BIG QRN HERE IN RIGA.
