    G4RCD
    Contest went well until last 30 minutes when
    conditions changed.  SD + Winkey worked fine!

    G4RCG
    Very surprised how good condx were after the terrible
    SSB session, stayed on my run qrg until 20 mins from
    the end and then managed to pick off the few I had
    not worked, great fun, love this contes

    G4TQF
    Enjoyed the contest, quite daunting in the QRS coral!
    S & P in the main arena is awesome. Everyone very kind and patient, so thanks for waiting for me. Obviously need more practice, 20+ wpm is clearly not fast enough.
    Could hear but Unable to work any GM's. Would intra G QRM/propogation be better if the contest started one hour earlier? Good format for a contest, support is appreciated.

    G4WGE
    Did the HFCC website stop working? Suddenly realised I didn't know the permitted band segment! Had to start off as S&P until I worked out where the limits were!

    G4ZFE
    Great condx and my best score yet. K3/100 to trapped inverted L at 24 feet

    G7VRK
    Not my best mode

    G8LED
    Skip lengthened in the last half hour.

    GM0ELP
    Good turn out. Some big signals from G. Thanks to all who worked me

    GM3ZBE
    Had the antenna masts wound right down due to high winds hence only 20ft high at the most. Event was slow going tonight G stations dropped a lot after 21:00

    GM4OSS
    Could have done with more QSO's

    GW3KDB
    FT1000mp 100 Watts Doublet @ 45Feet.

    GW3PRL
    Started well running, after 22 mins laptop packed up! Thence paper logging. Good 100W contest - not like AFS with Mega stations

    GW4BLE
    One hour - QRP only - 10 Watts.

    M0AAC
    good fun as usual not able to do as much as i like
    easier each time

    M0BPQ
    Came home late from work and had a quick tune around to give points away. I suspect the better conditions were earlier on! K2, 10W, Inverted L

    M0CNP
    At last conditions were considerably improved last night, so the rest of the contest series is to be looked forward to. Thanks everyone for the points.

    M0JEC
    Started Late had some technical issues and am a novice morse operator and couldn't find any other QRS stations I could read. FT-817 running 5W

    M0MDF
    good condx and short skip

    M0NZA
    Very enjoyable contest with loads of stations kept me busy throughout! Thanks for the contacts

    PA3AM
    Wonderful evening, strong signals, no QRM/N and lots of good CW OP's. I was 19 minutes too late, but nevertheless 64 stations in the log.

    KEY Hallicrafters HA-1 wid Vibrokeyer paddle

    DL4CW
    excellent condx into the UK  as always at the beginning of the year

    G0ADH
    Conditions about average for February

    G0AJJ
    Just worked a few .....was busy cooking evening meal!

    G0DAY
    Conditions started off well but at 9 pm here everything
    fell through the floor Deep QSB and weak signals but
    made it to the end Gets a struggle with QRP at times

    G0DVJ
    Pretty good conditions

    G0EUN
    Poor conditions this QTH.

    G0FYX
    Good activity but I found the band noisy here. SD good as usual

    G0IBN
    enjoyed myself

    G0JLF
    Better conditions but a late start. All S&P

    G0LHZ
    Great fun - conditions very good here

    G0MTN
    Fine until 9pm.

    G0OKF
    Extremely noisy. After 2100 hrs 59+ noise. SD - ever reliable.

    G0RDO
    Had good fun and the time sailed by!

    G0VZQ
    New to using Morse so will need a lot of practise

    G0WWD
    Conditions were very good

    G3GLL
    SD ok with WK2. A nice contest- conditions good- lots of
    stations to work- thanks to all.

    G3HRH
    Quite busy and very noisy from 21.00 0nwards

    G3JRM
    little noisey here at the club shack though it does not excuse my poor showing. Looking for better things in the March event

    G3KLH
    Good strong signals right up to the end

    G3KNU
    Skip went long at 2100hrs

    G3LDI
    Better conditions tonight, in fact quite a quiet band for a change! Except for the FT1K key clix, still a lot of those that need mods! Nice to work a UA9 on a very low dipole too.

    G3LHJ
    Great condxs and activity - best score so far

    G3LIK
    Good conditions for a change and great to meet a lot of
    friends in the contest. Great logging with SD

    G3MIR
    enjoyable with SD

    G3NCN
    SD is a great programme.
    Loved the contest though I don't seem to improve!!!

    G3OLB
    Conditions excellent - a really good run!

    G3PHO
    Found it hard to make long runs so went to search and pounce.. slow going. Then my XYL had a TV problem that took me out of the shack at a critical time!! Many S9+ signals at start faded down into noise near end of contest.

    G3RCM
    Could only manage 1 hour of the contest tonight as I had to get off to work, still good to hear the band in good shape with lots of UK contacts available. I had a very high QRN noise level tonight for some reason making copy difficult at times

    G3RSD
    Used sd worked perfectly

    G3SET
    Very good conditions. Enjoyed getting through on QRP

    G3SVD
    My first attempt at using WinTest and the contest went well for me. I had to do some  modification  of the macros "on the fly" but seemed to go well. A bit more practice then perhaps I'll  try running rather than S&P. Practice, practice, practice. 73 Andy 

    G3TBK
    Surprising how much inter-G condx have improved since the SSB leg.

    G3TLH
    Good conditions unusually for first CC contest this year

    G3UFY
    RIG - FT1000MP. ANTENNAS - Vertical Loop
    Wish my vertical loop would work this well all year.
    Sadly, things will only get worse!

    G3VIP
    RIG IC7000 10W - DIPOLE - HOMEBREW LOGGER
    More stations still a struggle on QRP.

    G3WRR
    At least conditions were better than the SSB leg! Went quite well till about 20 minutes before the end. Couldn't hold a frequency for any length of time with my small antenna. SD / Winkey worked well as usual.

    G3WVG
    ft1000mp (100W version) + dipole at 60ft

    G3YAJ
    Good Signals

    G3YEC
    Started on time then interupted by plumber to see about
    new boiler !

    G3YHV
    Band faded out in last 15 mins !

    G3YMC
    Good first session for 2008 with reasonable conditions for inter G. But propagation lengthened in the last half hour and the G signals became quite weak, hence my score lower than expected. I also thought activity was slightly down. 73 Dave

    G3ZBU
    First use of the key for a while! Plenty of activity.

    G3ZGC
    IC775DSP 100w to 132 ft wire up 40 ft in 55 ft garden
    Conditions changed about 2110.

    G3ZHE
    A better night but a typical north cheshire struggle Hi.
    756pro3 100w, 90ft doublet at 30ft 

    G3ZRJ
    Sorry to not manage the full contes. Ttrapped nerve made my hand go to sleep so decided to give up. Condx seemed good
    I hope to fully participate in the remaining contests

    G3ZVW
    Conditions excellent - and plenty of activity. Tnx all!

    G4ARN/P
    Locxal qrm caused problems

    G4BZP
    FARS member despite not being in Furness at time of
    the contest.

    G4CKH
    Nice quiet band for a change, a joy to operate in the contest.

    G4DDX
    Disaster struck when I did not notice the PSU plug had come out so about half way the computer went dead. It took me 20mins to get it running again and complete the contest. Conditions a lot better than ssb leg.
    As always I used SD, it's so easy.

    G4EBK
    Condx fair at the start, last half hour poor.

    G4FAL
    Nice to hear some stations outside South Yorkshire

    G4FKA
    Splendid!

    G4FNL
    Condx certainly better for inter-G QSO's than the previous SSB contest. Unfortunately my home set up isn't competitive enough for contesting - hence a poorish score. I used SD for logging - but all sending by key because it's quicker!

    G4GZB
    SD works great. Better than  the operator
    No  excessive QRN or QRM tonite

    G4IYC
    condx fair

    G4JRY
    Conditions suddenly dropped off around 21:00

    G4OGB
    Condx gradually improving. Nice to hear some 'new' calls, some 'OT's' not heard. SD worked well

    G4OOC
    SD Performed 100% as usual

    G4PIQ
    Just thrown a small antenna up at temporary QTH in town.  Ran QRP this time so as not to bring interference complaints out immediately. Many stations CQ-ing in my face and calling CQ a complete waste of time. Clearly need to improve the antenna.   Family not very co-operative either so not a fully concentrated entry - late on and lots of dipping in and out. Propagation seemed good for first hour, but then went long
    with folks under 300km dropping 20dB. Rig : K2, 10W, 30m inv-L, top @ 6m + lousy lossy ground system
