    G4IAR

    G6KMQ
    POOR BAND COND. MADE FOR HARD WORK

    G6UW

    G7UGC
    Band very noisy

    G7VRK
    NR11 7DY

    G8FMJ/P

    GU8ITE

    GW3KDB
    Awful conditions.

    M0AJM
    Band conditions very noisy but good fun

    M0AJT
    Conditions not at all favourable to East Coast

    M0BXR
    First time on this contest

    M0CES
    Conditions terrible.

    M0CMQ
    let's see how my 80m with SSB works - answer,
    not very well, lots of qrm/qrn.

    M0DEY
    Hard work. Very difficult getting heard by other
    stations. Mega-QRM!

    M0GHZ
    Dire

    M0HHF
    very noisy

    M0KGF
    Hard going for my first contest entry

    M0RCD

    See you all next time!

    M0RIA
    FIRST COMPETITION ENTRY

    M0TNX

    M0VIE
    bad conditions

    M1DDD

    2E0ATY
    GOOD CONTEST AT LAST I BROKE THE 100 MARK

    2E1GUA
    the band was not good

    2U0GSY
    Very poor conditions tonight.
    G stations not very strong

    G0AOJ
    Band was very noisy
    Lot of European stations

    G0EYO
    difficult conditions many continentals

    G0EYR
    Very noisey QRM wall to wall!

    G0FYX
    Only one station heard between 3700-3775
    Conditions changed after an hour

    G0HDV
    VERY HARD GOING AGAIN

    G0IIQ
    Terrible conditions - hope its better next time

    G0JLF
    Many periods where there were monster EU sigs but very
    weak G stations. Difficult. Must get a narrow filter!

    G0KDS
    more noise than stations

    G0KPZ
    VERY NOISY BAND CONDITIONS INC EUROPEAN STNS

    G0KYS
    Conditions not as good for inter-G as last month and
    very variable. Inter-G was good for me at start and I
    had a big pile up as it appeared it was only me down
    here in Devon! However things got quieter. Worked IK
    & S57, so obviously good long skip at that point.

    G0MRH
    Conditions absolutely awful!
    General noise level strength around S8-S9
    There may have been a lot of stations on but
    not audible in the centre-midlands

    G0MTN
    Crikey.

    G0OKF
    Conditions were abysmal again. This is
    probably the last time I shall enter such
    a contest. Contest is not the name for such
    as what occurred during the 90 minutes.
    It is held at the wrong time of year. I ask
    is this deliberate to favour the Chiltern DX clubbers?

    G0RAF
    Lousy
    Lousy conditions

    G0VYR
    Heavy QRM from continental stations at 59 plus.

    G0WWD
    SLOW GOING

    G3GLL
    Rotten conditions here !

    G3JJZ
    RIG - TS-940S
    ANTENNAS - 85' LW
    Conditions terrible. The usual S9++ sigs down into
    the noise level.

    G3KNU
    Condx up here in the frozen north appalling

    G3KUM
    CONDITIONS AWFUL

    G3LDI
    Dreadful propagation for this contest. Wish I spoke Russian!!!

    G3LHJ
    Weird conds - very hard going but fun

    G3LIK
    Once again a struggle to hear the G people as long skip
    was evident.

    G3MXH
    Found short range inter G contacts very hard going
    indeed but the band did inmprove a little towards
    the end of the session.. F5VHY ex G3MXJ was a
    cracking signal form Bordeaux.

    G3NAS
    IC756, Inv. vee at 60 ft

    G3NFB
    Skip into Europe brilliant but only very weak G stations. No GMs heard at all.

    G3NKC
    Conditions atrocious; band very noisy, some signals auroral; others weak.
    Loud (=s9 stations still tough to work !!
    Spent some time shifting people out of the no-contest section!

    G3NKS
    Conditions - yuk!

    G3NLY
    FT1000mp, 80/40 trapped Inv. vee
    SOAPBOX: Absolutely dire. The only genuine 59+ signals were
    from the continent.

    G3NPF
    Excellent conditions for the first half hour but then
    everything fell apart and it was a real struggle.
    Strange how band conditions can change so quickly.

    G3ORY
    The critical frequency (Fcrit) for the F2 layer was
    down by 1.4 MHz on the day before

    G3PDH
    Very poor inter G condx again.
    A good example of how inefficient ssb is as a mode.
    Didn't like the split band arrangement, not convinced
    everyone is aware of this??

    G3RSD
    very hard going

    G3SVL
    What happened to the propagation????

    G3SWC
    Inter-G condx changed dramatically after first 40mins
    with sigs becoming very weak.

    G3TKF
    Yet another very very noisey band - can we have these on Sunday afternoon ?

    G3TXF
    Condx far from ideal for inter-G for my set-up at least. A
    struggle to work most stations.

    G3UFY
    RIG - FT1000MP
    ANTENNAS - Vertical loop
    Replaced my usual low dipole with the vertical loop in hope of more
    EU QSOs - serious error as missed out on loads of the UK stns!
    Band being horribly noisy didn't help.

    G3VIP
    RIG FT301S 10W - ANTENNA 40M LW
    SKIP ALL WRONG IN NORTH - LOT OF DELIBERATE QRM

    G3VQO
    ninety minutes ??? seemed like 48 hours !!!
    a real struggle to make so few contacts
    bring on the CW section !!!

    G3VYE
    My scores seem to get worse with practice. Must be a
    combination of the conditions an unsuitable aerial and
    (tonight) a late start. At least when you are
    scraping the bottom of the barrel the only way is up.

    G3WRR
    RIG - FT1000MP
    ANTENNAS - 50ft longwire @ 20ft
    Tried QRP at the start - no chance with my tiny antenna!
    Up to 100W after the first few QSOs - and none to easy even then
    Skip too long to make G QSOs easily

    G3WVG
    TS930s+dipole at 60ft..100w o/p

    G3WZT
    Good conditions to start with but latter
    half of contest affected by Auroral activity.

    G3XSV
    First 25 minutes were fine... after that condx
    went rapidly down hill.

    G3YAJ
    Noise and more Noise!!

    G3YEC
    What a racket ! Noise from the continent was 5+
    Will the RSGB please please tell the German DARC the
    frequencies for our contest. Ther amount ofd Germans
    I heard arguing with contestants over the freqs
    was unbelievable.

    G3YHV
    Very strange conditions again. Very loud G stations and loads of VERY weak ones

    G3ZBE
    Used SD 11.08 worked well no problems
    Conditions seemed quite good had long and short skip
    A little deliberate qrm but not as bad as some sessions
    My voice gives up in these contests and I am forced
    to lubricate it with a wee dram!

    G3ZBU
    Band went very quiet towards the end. Most strange!
    But many other stations seem to have noticed this.

    G3ZGC
    I delayed a visit to a customer for this! It was dreadful. Everyone had a severe echo.
    Even G0ORH just 4 miles away was hardly readable.

    G3ZHE
    lots of noise, many very weak stations, better last half hour
    but many Euro stations. Had a steaming cold. Voice ran
    out at 2121. Wish it was cw.

    G3ZRJ
    AFTER 2030 VIRTUALLY NOTHING A FEW VY WEAK
    STATIONS WORKED BUT MOST CALLED WERE N/R
    LETS HOPE CONDX IMPROVE FOR THE CW SESSION

    G4ARN/P
    band conditions seemed terrible
    had lots of trouble with static and being heard

    G4BJQ
    Band conditions very poor

    G4BUO
    Really tough. Tried to run a frequency near the top of the band but
    I could tell I was slipping behind so went S+P for a while and then
    things picked up a bit on a new run frequency. Interesting to experience
    the changes in propagation from one week to the next, and even within the
    90 minute contest period!

    G4DBX
    Very poor conditions

    G4DDX
    Awfull conditions. lack of strong G stns most reports
    should have been 3 by 3 with me. Hope things improve
    soon.

    G4EBK
    Looked promising with the first 10 in 9 Minutes.
    Only 7 in next 20 mins. not so good, then downhill.
    10 more in next 45 Mins. zero in last 15 Mins.
    Continental stations getting stronger as time went on.

    G4EZT
    Good conditions initially then East Europe QRM forced qsy
    Second half of contest all G's weak and Auroral signals

    G4FCN
    Flat out for first 30 mins then it died !!

    G4FKA
    Could whoever stole the ionosphere please put it back!
    Dire, dreadful and lots of other words beginning with D.
    Hard work with the wet string at 15 feet but all in a good cause.

    M3ABC
    G stations very thin and weak. Hard going, patience required.

    M3CVN
    Conditions went down during the contest. Hardly no G's on the band at end

    M3LIB
    Very difficult conditions

    M3RCV
    Only managed last 45 minutes. Less said about
    conditions the better. Can only be better for the
    March contest.

    M3TBK
    Contest only slightly less boring than my French homework
    Very noisy, and difficult to hold a frequency

    M5CSM
    UK stations quite weak was hard work
