    G4GZB
    Enjoyed it, despite my tortoise-like performance!
    SD was a good friend again

    G4LMW
    First ever contest entry, fun but tough

    G4OGB
    Not much change in condx yet. SD worked well as usual.

    G4OOC
    SD was faultless once again

    G4RCG
    Was a good session, lots of stations calling only
    needed to go S&P for the last 20 mins.

    G4WGE
    Started late due having a real QSO on 80M! Then someone immediately tried to pinch my frequency.  An M0 kept calling but never responded when called back. Altogether a very strange evening.

    G4YRF
    Had To Take Time Out To Chase Off A Burglar!

    G4ZFE
    Most QSOs made using a 6 foot high NVIS 80m dipole. Good conditions until 21:00

    G4ZGP
    Always enjoyable. conditions good at start only fair
    towards end of contest

    G6MC
    Good contest, conditions to UK dropped off after 2100 from North Yorkshire

    G8MIA
    Nice steady run of contacts in S & P.

    M0CES
    contest died for me at 2100

    M0CNP
    Propogation deteriorated rapidly after 2100

    M0MDF
    Conditions were quite good upto about 2100hrs when it all seemed to go. The noise level went down and so did the signals.

    M0NZA
    Loads of activity - really enjoyed the contest. QSO with YL3DX a real bonus! Thanks for all the contacts

    M0RBG
    Variable conditions this time

    M3WCK
    Missed first 20 minutes or so. Enjoyed experience

    MM0GPZ
    Still new to CW, especially running, so I appreciate your patience. I'll get there eventually. It's funny how it's easy on Morserunner HI.

    MM0RKT
    Quite nice condx, for once. A bit noisy after half time...

    PA0FAW
    Condx not good, not bad, had less thanb an hour and
    wanted 25 qso's for point Veron contest, Arnhem section
    I think the speed was less high than used to be, or my
    brain has got younger, hi.

    PA3AM
    Again an exiting contest, good signals and activity

    SOAPBOX:

    DL4CW
    excellent condx tonite. Put away my headphones after
    5 minutes, laid back and enjoyed the big signals.

    G0ADH
    Much better conditions

    G0DAY
    A very good evening all whent well till 9pm when the band just shut down to short skip but then able to work GM's - F and PA
    SD worked flawless as usual Thanks Paul

    G0EWN
    A bit of a disaster. Lots of little things conspired to spoil my
    involvement. I hope to correct these before next time. My vertical antenna was too narrow--had to keep retuning to ensure low SWR for even short moves in frequency. I need to sort VOX arrangement for semi-break in. I had problems with logging software failing to spot duplicate etc. May go over to a dipole to give greater bandwidth without needing to retune
    Still, it was a learning experience (of the wrong sort!!).

    G0FYX
    Good activity. Thank you SD.

    G0HSA
    Not too bad for a first time. I will have to get up to speed with shortened numbers. Will definitely have another go.
    SD certainly makes life easy sending cw.

    G0IBN
    too windy to have aerial up

    G0JLF
    Noisy

    G0KYA
    First half was good, but condx got worse towards end.

    G0LHZ
    Great Fun

    G0MTN
    Pity I could only operate the last 30 mins, not the first 30!

    G0OKF
    Started OK but faded badly after 2100 hours.
    SD Used with no problems .

    G0RDO
    Good fun as usual and sd worked a treat

    G3GLL
    OK for the first hour, after then hopeless !

    G3HRH
    Good until the last half hour when the skip went long

    G3JNB
    Good conditons.

    G3KAF
    A very enjoyable contest as always.

    G3KNU
    Much better conditions tonight. Really like SD's ESM

    G3LDI
    Band died around 9 p.m. and G signals became very auroral. Hard going for the last 30 minutes!

    G3LET
    Casual entry to get the feel of the new K3 and how it
    handled the noises and burbles from neighbouring
    electronics in the house. UK largely disappeared prompt
    at 2100, apart from GM and a few locals.

    G3LHJ
    Good condxs - lots of activity - most enjoyable
    SD went perfectly a joy to use.

    G3LIK
    Good conditions throughout tonight. Some strong signals on the band. Great to have SD as logging programme

    G3OLB
    Very noisy after 2115Z!

    G3PDH
    The first hour went well but the band faded again.

    G3PHO
    Conditions better than last time though long skip set in around 2100 leaving much less workable UK activity. Found it hard to get a run after 9pm as a result.

    G3PSM
    One of my better attempts and the 80 metre dipole
    prefers working in an NVIS configuration!

    G3RSD
    Used sd worked perfectly

    G3SWC
    Band faded around 2100, only long skip to GM

    G3TBK
    Arrived home from J8 at 15.00z to be met by gale-damaged tower and beams. Managed to get a dipole up at 50 ft for tonight. Travelling for 18 hours took its toll so apologies to those who I confused by hitting the wrong "F" keys.
    Who switched propagation off for the last 20 minutes?

    G3TKF
    The band, and the logging prog fell apart in the last 15mins

    G3TLH
    Forgot all about contest until 2040 then made 36
    QSOs till 2130. Inter-G fading towards the end.

    G3TXF
    Excellent conditions for inter-UK during the first hour. Plenty of
    GMs coming through at good strength too. Thinned out a bit during the last half hour. But for a mid-week evening it's a lot of activity!

    G3VCA
    Started fine but the band died at ~ 9pm. Difficult to work UK stations after that time, and interestingly the band noise went down to S1; using a 2 wave delta loop in the clear.

    G3VIP
    RIG IC7000 10W - Homebrew Logger - 50M Long Wire
    Much better condx for QRP though signals dropped after 2100

    G3VPW
    First time ever entered a CC test. S&P most of the time. Still not too confident in RUN MODE with SD and after spending many hours at the weekend in BERU just love the S&P hunt !!!!

    G3YEC
    Nice contest today good signals and although some QSB
    in the main nice and straightforward

    G3YHV
    Had dreadful software issues (I wrote the software!)

    G3ZBU
    Antenna now up to 42 feet and extended by 3 feet 6 in
    both directions and resonating at 3.5MHz nicely.
    Signals seemed to fade a fair bit around 9pm. Interesting!

    G3ZGC
    I used SD for logging - it's great. Cndx failed at 2110 otherwise ok

    G3ZHE
    A better night. 100w IC7700 90ft dublet 30ft up at 30ft asl
    50 claimed. 

    G3ZRJ
    Good turn out this evening conditions seemed
    excellent for the first hour

    G3ZVW
    Short range propagation faded suddenly at 21:10.

    G4ARN/P
    Great fun but local qrm caused problems

    G4BUO
    A contest of two halves. Very loud signals for the first hour, but
    everyone's signals were down in the noise for the last 30 minutes.

    G4BZP
    I am an active FARS member living there at my holiday home.

    G4DBW
    Elecraft K3 10 watts into G5RV

    G4DDX
    Pretty good for the first hour, went downhill after that. Aerial lowered to 15feet due to wind.Enjoyed the contest and used SD as usual.

    G4EBK
    Cdnx very good for the first hour then down hill.

    G4EKT
    G3WOV enjoyed used SD for first time. G4CGG  first CW contest

    G4ELZ
    Great until the next door's TV came home!

    G4FAL
    I'm not prepared to babysit a frequency before the test, so I set off in QRS bit, which was very nice too. There should be a time limit on calling cq then the babysitting nonsense would be stopped. What does 'CQ-Ing' mean anyway? Aren't they an insurance company, hi. They should be calling you! Anyone support a campaign? Besides that, the Blades have got a couple of wins now so all is good.

    G4FKA
    A very frustrating evening. After a fair start, SWR on doublet went high after 40 minutes and the rate dropped after that. Suspect may have lost one half of feeder connection in wind but too dark to check. Nice to work everyone on half a doublet!

    G4FNL
    Usual change in conditions experienced with the skip
    dramatically lengthening for the last 15mins or so of
    the contest. Thanks to all for the QSO's
