    M0CES
    Could not keep the data on freq. Strong sigs kept
    pushing me all over the place. Most annoying evening.
    Need to read up on this a lot

    M0EDY
    Good fun on PSK lots more stations to work compared with last year

    M0GAV
    Tried to get a grip with MixW less than an hour
    before the contest(my first attempt at a datamode test)!

    M0JQK
    My macros need binning HI HI

    M0LMH
    First time on RTTY, Inv V, IC-7000, 80W

    M0MDF
    Condx were'nt too bad

    M0NKS
    lots of stations sending but not listening too  quick between calls!!

    M0OXO
    First digi test really enjoyed it

    M0TFO
    First Data contest,just stuck to psk this time.

    M1DHV
    First time in a data contest, not as easy as you thin. Will be ready next time

    M1PTR
    First attempt at doing an RSGB datamode contest.  I had better results with RTTY than PSK31 though it was all Good Fun!

    M3DVQ
    FT1000D 66 ft end fed wire at 20 feet
    Poor score but at least I got on. Only 7 watts because anything more crashed computer, so much rf flying round shack!

    M3TBK
    FT1000MP, 10 Watts, dipole at 70 feet
    Now big-brother M3DVQ is at Uni at least I get rig every round!

    MM0GPZ
    Condx up and down the whole time but got markedly better as the test went on. Inverted L, 100w.

    MM0RKT
    Only QSO I got first shot was the furthest away - GU6EFB!

    PSK and RTTY datamodes are VERY different from modes where the main processing take place between the ears of a human operator. They are very fragile - it requires only a single 2ms noise pulse to corrupt a callsign or a serial number, something which the brain would reject instantly, or call for a repeat! Any operator who accepts a callsign or report sent once only is courting disaster.

    It is also necessary to ensure that computer sound cards are not overloaded - this can cause problems with decoding on receive and poor signal quality on transmit.  As the year progresses and band occupancy increases the Committee will be monitoring this.     G3UFY

    SOAPBOX:

    2E0LLF
    Difficult conditions for inter 'G' working

    G0ADH
    Much better conditions than last February data.

    G0AJJ
    Lots of stations, high noise level with much flutter!

    G0DAY
    Quite a suprise, thought tonight would be like last Monday
    but it turned out rather good. Was a struggle with 10w but pleased  

    G0GFQ
    Got home late and just worked the 1 before a damn phone
    call

    G0JLF
    Why did Mix-W have to repeatedly hang??

    G0KDS
    A bit more fun this week. Antenna only 4m above ground


    G0MTN
    Looks like activity is still increasing...  

    G0OKF
    Icom 756 PROIII + 50 watts. Antenna = 50 ft wire + SGC tuner.

    G0VZQ
    Results should improve with practice.

    G0WOT
    first time on data modes late start due to technical problems!

    G3IZD
    My first proper entry in the data section
    PSK difficult, perhaps conditions, but RTTY
    a little better. I must edit my macros for next one

    G3KLH
    FSK section well supported, PSK section pathetic

    G3LHJ
    Great activity, much better condx than the last SSB session

    G3PDH
    At least conditions were better than the week before in the SSB session!

    G3PHO
    All fingers and thumbs again this time. For some reason, MixW wouldn't autograb the serial number tonight so I had to type them in for a change!! Conditions much better than last week's SSB but still not brilliant. Why do so many on PSK31 insist on sending their name and QTH in a contest!
    The lads on RTTY are much more efficient contesters.

    G3RWL
    Not quite as bad as the SSB - recommend February CC's are
    held on 160m

    G3RXP
    very poor conditions here along with thick fog.

    G3SNU
    Very good condx for inter G working

    G3SVD
    A bit of a disaster. Started fairly well then went down hill. I need more practice in using Win-Test  for RTTY, that's a fact.

    G3TXF
    Finally got set up with some proper RTTY kit. Makes all the difference in being able to decipher what's going on!

    G3VCA
    More pleasurable than the first SSB contest. At
    least 'G' stations could be heard.      

    G3VIP
    RIG IC7000 - 10W - DIPOLE - Homebrew logger & Hamscope
    Plenty of stations, big struggle with QRP.

    G3YAJ
    Nice to be back with contests

    G3YHV
    Great contest and good conditions

    G3ZBU
    condx back to normal!

    G3ZGC
    Who persuaded me to do this?

    G3ZVW
    Much better conditions than last week. Propagation perfectly OK.

    G4ABX
    Escellent contest logging program

    G4EBK
    Conditions better than expected. Twice as many Q's as last Feb.

    G4EZT
    Poor conditions, worked nearly all I could hear.

    G4FKA
    A fair start to the 2008 campaign. Steady rate throughout.

    G4RCG
    Total washout for me, like watching paint dry

    G4ZFE
    Better Condx this time. Very crowded at the start and a good test for my new K3.

    G6FOP
    terrible QRM from a well know station

    GM0ELP
    Condx changed throughout, some stns QSB, new stns replacing them. Mostly inter G tonight no DX.

    GW4BLE
    Hey! I'm getting to enjoy this RTTY stuff.......
