    G4WGE
    Poor conditions. The decision to operate 10W just made life that bit more difficult.

    G4ZFE
    A session to forget. Hope condx get better soon....

    G6FOP
    High noise levels here spoiled the contest for me

    G7VRK
    Band seemed very Poor

    GM3YEH
    Fairly good conditions considering how bad 80m has been recently.

    M0ANM
    Nice contest if only we could break out of the Cheshire Gap.
    Icom-IC-756 pro III - Vertical Gap Challenger antenna.

    M0CES
    awful getting thru on low pwr

    M0CNP
    At times my waterfall display was blank, but things can only get better can't they? Thanks everyone for the points.

    M0DIW
    trying this new mode and could only get into local
    stations and got four in 90 minutes.

    M0GAV
    Hard going! still struggling with software!!

    M0JQK
    Like platting fog but enjoyed it all the same

    M0MDF
    Condx good at the start but tailed off towards the end.

    M0NKS
    Band seemed to develop a lot of QRM ans signals started to QSB from 2030hrs  from this QTH

    M0OXO
    Only PSK31, probs with my RTTY

    M3TBK
    Tough going again.  Tried S&P after a while, but didn't seem to be able to make myself heard!  Also, can't understand why people send '5NN' - it's not quicker than '599' in RTTY!

    MM0GPZ
    Only on for last 20 minutes and condtitions seemed noisy and signals were poor. I saw some signals coming back to me but couldn't decode them??

    MM0RKT
    Hard going! After 21:15 I could hear almost nothing but noise...

    PA0FAW
    Just a couple of minutes left. Only heard RTTY, saw no PSK contest station at that time.

    SOAPBOX:

    G0ADH
    Conditions not so good.

    G0AJJ
    Terrible conditions,high noise level,a real struggle!

    G0DAY
    Started off ok, but conditions just dived to awfull

    G0DVJ
    First ever data contest
    FT847, 100w, 80m Fullwave Loop.  iMac OSX 10.4.11, CocoaModem software.

    G0KDS
    Weird conditions at times

    G0LWU
    Tnx for contest

    G0MTN
    Disappointed with operating skills during weak signal conditions. Callsigns and serial numbers need to be given more often. If asked for a number repeat, don't spend 30 seconds transmitting both callsigns again, and then 5 seconds on the number. Oh, and remember to try "QRL?" before CQ'ing. Please !?!

    G0NVY
    Called for 1 hour only to work 1 station. Conditions not good

    G0OKF
    ICOM 756 Pro III, 17 mts lenght of wire at 8m high 
    and 40 watts.        

    G0SIQ
    Conditions were strange.Lots of noise on the fequency and distortion of signals at one point

    G0WOT
    Conditions poor for final 30 minutes

    G3GWB
    Spent some time getting the system set up - then
    found zilch propagation!!!

    G3HRH
    Quite a lot of QRM. Band died in Cornwall around 21.00
    Had to dig deep for the last few

    G3IZD
    Still trying to get the hang of these modes. Condx changed dramatically early on and nothing but EU stns sending their long brag files dogs name etc.I shall persevere

    G3KAF
    First time on RTTY I found it strange that every contest station was off frequency except me!!! Hence only 2 QSOs. Will sort out for next contest. Applogies to those who called and didn't get a reply.

    G3LDI
    Awful conditions, noisy band, some peculiar data noise covering several KHz and some deliberate carriers

    G3LHJ
    Great activity again, but band went long skip in the last 30 mins
    and found it very hard going, heard lots of "NR Again pse" Hi.

    G3PHO
    What a rubbish score for 90 minutes! Had software probs again this time plus very poor propagation in last half of contest. Had to manually enter exchanges, which slowed me down a lot. Things can only get better!

    G3RRL
    Started off OK, band disappeared around 2100.

    G3RXP
    More like ESP than RTTY.    

    G3SHF
    Horrible conditions again!

    G3SWC
    Slow QSB caused a few problems. Only the GM's were solid copy!

    G3TXF
    S&P'ed for first 40 mins, then just sat on 3593 CQing. Still not sure how to handle the situation where two stations call at about same strength and for exactly the same length of time. An "agn agn" often results in precisely the same thing happening a second time, and just garbage on the screen.
    Life's not like that on CW (or even on SSB) .... is it?

    G3UJE
    Conditions were poor throughout the contest.  Hope to do better next time.

    G3VCA
    Rig unstable, used 1/4 wave earth radial to lower Z
    to obtain 3 contacts - rig back with ICOM to sort

    G3VIP
    RIG IC7000-10w-50m LW - Hamscope/homebrew logger
    Strong sigs at start then things went haywire, deep QSB

    G3WVG
    Thought condx were poor, but then discovered my antenna had fallen down!!

    G3YHV
    Band died at 2100 ! 

    G3ZBU
    Antenna far too low so did not get out well and could not hear any especially strong signals. Maybe condx were not up to much so went off to the CW end of the band and it was full of activity with people working JAs though I did not hear any myself.

    G3ZHE
    Another North Cheshire slog with the long winter skip
    passing us by. 756pro3, 40 watts to a 90ft doublet 30ft up

    G3ZVW
    Some QRN and QRM, but not too bad tonight.

    G4ABX
    Escellent contest logging program

    G4EBK
    Conditions poor from the east coast.
    Deep QSB made it very difficult.

    G4EOF
    Nice to be back on data modes

    G4FKA
    What a galactic change in conditions. 40 Qs in 39 mins then only 10 in the last 50 as the band leapt lemming-like over the great propagation precipice of despair!

    G4OGB
    Condx absolutely dire, struggled to be heard from the start.
    First thing I did Tues. morning was to check if the aerial
    was still there!
