    M0CNP
    It was grand to see the band open at last at least until about 2100 when it seemed someone turned off the switch. Incredible. As usual good fun and thanks everyone for the points
    M0EBN

    M0NKS
    great start but conditions changed about 2100 hrs and i only worked tow in the last 30 mins

    M0OXO
    Enjoyed it again as always. Band died for me
    at around 2110 as expected here in barnsley.
    Nice to hear the 2e0's and m3's again too.

    M0RDS
    Finding  SD very usefull now. Very strange conditions again

    M0SCG
    Good contest but poor condx

    Less than an hour managed hard work only s&p

    M0TFO
    Qrm

    M0TLN
    First Amateur radio contest.

    Sporadic.Held frequency depite qrm.Died after 2100(conditions, not   me)

    M1EBV
    Seemed to die at the end, but good fun

    M1PTR
    Propagation was good until 21:00 then inter G dropped out.

    M3TBK
    Conditions quickly deteriorated, only GM's were audible near the end and I couldn't crack their pile-ups

    M3UJL
    Better than last time but band went dead towards end

    M3WYX
    very good contest good mix of g and eu stations
    fantastic conditions and lots of goodops good to see a
    rewarding end to the contest

    M3XOE
    My first SSB comp. Hard work but great fun.

    MM0GPZ
    Plenty of big signals at the start. I tried running but no chance.

    MM3XUI

    SOAPBOX:

    2E0RFS
    Heavy QRM difficult to separate stations conditions
    improving. Hope to do better next time.

    2E0TJX
    Got on late!

    2E0YDX
    New to contesting and even newer to contesting
    software but improving each time

    G0ADH
    Much quieter after 9:00

    G0AJJ
    Started well but activity dropped off after 9pm

    G0AOJ
    Band was in good shape until 21:00
    SD is great contest logging programe...Thanks paul

    G0DAY
    Started off ok but the 9 o clock turn off hit again
    after that just a few long skip left
    and of course SD worked without a hitch

    G0FYX
    Short skip again for the last 25 minutes
    Super Duper logging program excellent

    G0IIQ
    Started off OK and went downhill from there

    G0KDS
    Uuuuuuuum qrp gets harder

    G0KYS
    Conditions fairly normal for first hour, then QRM
    faded.  GMs were cleaning up again!

    G0LHZ
    Great fun but was two contests - up to 9 pm it was a
    UK contest after 9 pm it was a GM contest!

    G0LWU
    Tnx for contest. The output power was 100w

    G0MRH
    Conditions poor in the Midlands but a few GM's
    came through with good signals

    G0MTN
    Windy so left antenna without support. Left contest a Very hard S+P competition.

    G0OKF
    SD works -- as ever.

    G0RAF
    Enjoyable event - band seemed to go flat at 21:00Hrs

    G0UIQ
    not bad  was ok

    G0WHO
    Went very well at the start then conditions changed and only German stations audible in the lower band. However some cracking GM stations in the upper part

    G0WJX
    Ten Tec Orion 1 1/2 G5RV (extended)

    G3GHS
    yes I did but conditions bad qrz used too much by stns

    G3GWB
    Usual sudden and dramatic change in skip distance - this
    time around 21.00.  SD worked fine for this contest except
    RF getting into the PC caused spurious characters to appear
    in the log fields - not noticed until several contacts had
    made.

    G3HRH
    Band closed (as usual) around 21.10
    Skip went very long but GM still OK

    G3IZD
    conditions excellent for first 50 mins or so then high noise level throughout band and less good UK propagation

    G3KNU
    Who switches the band off at 2100? Roll on clock change

    G3LDI
    Band folded again at 9 p.m. here, tough going after that.Almost went and made a cuppa!

    G3LHJ
    Had ATC commitments tonight - only mamaged last 30mim
    and condxs crazy very long skip and the GM's having
    a ball again.

    G3LIK/P
    Different conditions from the Midlands. Long skip only in the last half hour. Put log on SD after getting home

    G3LLK
    Skip went long after 9 p.m. Could only hear distant stations after that and activity very low.

    G3NDJ
    good fun contest-band conditions quite good
    good logging programme

    G3NPF
    Very strange conditions.  Lots of stations and QRM for the first 45 minutes, then, within the space of a few minutes, no stations, no QRM, only long skip GMs and a few continentals.

    G3OLB
    It happened again! Someone switched the band off at 2115!

    G3PHO
    I was fortunate enough to find a clear spot on 3642kHz right at the start and managed to maintain a run on it until just after 2100z, after which the plug was pulled and most of the UK stations disappeared to be replaced with DL, PA, OK, UAs and like. After 2-3 QSOs a minute up to 9pom I only managed 10 contacts in the last 25 minutes!

    G3PSM
    First time in an SSB contest for many years.   A bit of
    tweaking to do to the setup. Band went long skip at 2100

    G3PYC
    Using SD is a must for the likes of me

    G3RRL
    Good contest some very big scores and the band died 210

    G3RSD
    Used sd worked perfectly

    G3SNU
    Managed to get calling spot at 2055 band went out at 2110.

    G3TXF
    A real struggle. Unbelievable rate during the first three minutes. But lost the good starting frequency so after. Never got going again. The GMs were pounding in. And after the 21z propagation switch-off the Gs just disappeared leaving only the GMs plus a few distinterested EUs.

    G3VCA
    A good contest apart from the band dropping out after 9pm.

    G3VMY
    Change of antenna gave poor results.No choice
    QRV on 80m in the balance for now.

    G3VPW
    Hard going after 21:00 when just hearing GM

    G3VUS
    noisy band and G sigs disappeared after 2100

    G3WVG
    ft1000mp (100 watt version) + dipole at 70ft.
    Band suddenly closed to G at 2100.

    G3YHV
    band faded out at 2100 !

    G3YOA
    Good contest high scores worked. Easy with SD

    G3ZBU
    Very odd conditions with things getting very quiet after 21:00. However very interesting CW pile-ups to be heard at the bottom of 80m so there must be some interesting DX.

    G3ZGC
    A real problem being jammed out for the first 30 minutes. I nearly gave up because of it. Conditions went at 20:50 with me. One station had a full QSO which also lowered the score!

    G3ZHE
    Another north cheshire slog with critical freq at 3.4 Mhz at 2100


    G3ZVW
    Brilliant conditions at the start but antenna problems, so not being heard. S&P only.
    In the words of The Terminator, "I'll be back!"

    G4BUO
    Thought I was on for a big score but the band died just before 9pm

    G4CKH
    Lots of activity, but short skip peetered out around 2100 hrs.   For the last half hour only gm's audiable. Really enjoy these short format contests. Looking forward to the next.

    G4DDX
    skip changed just before nine and down went the qso
    rate but not for the GM's. Shows up my poor antenna.
    I useed SD as usual.

    G4FAL
    The band died at 9pm so I had a lovely qso with Serg somewhere over the Urals, hi. However the Mighty Blades have won 3 on the trot so things are looking up.

    G4FKA
    Dreadful. Worst SSB leg for years! Band wide open but could hardly be heard so something not right with the station.

    G4FNL
    Thanks to all for the QSO's. Conditions changed in the last 45mins. Went from a rate of over 200 per hour to 35 per hour within 15 mins. (Sorry that I caused QRM to Nigel G3TXF at one stage)

    G4FQI
    Who switched the band off at 2100? First ever ssb contest and using SD logger, be back next time so couldnt have been that bad

    G4GZB
    SD was very effective again.
    Signals good, but disappeared at 2100hrs.

    G4OGB
    Similar condx to last week. SD worked well again.

    G4OOC
    SD Superb once again.
    I really enjoy using SD it makes thing so easy

    G4RCD
    Got a good start held, a frequency until conditions
    changed dramatically about 30 minutes from the end
    Used SD for Logging

    G4RCG
    This session was very very noisy and difficult to pull the weaker stations out. The band went dead on me at 21.10 and only worked a few stations after that time. Still enjoyed it.

    G4VUD
    better than last ssb contest, could actually hear stations

    G4ZGP
    Competing against some very powerful stations but
    using a poor 80m antenna. Enjoyable nevertheless

    G5KC
    1/4 Wave Vertical Antenna is not appropriate for this contest

    G6FOP
    new rig, must learn how to use it

    G6KWA
    Conditions seemed good but early end due to tvi !!
    Now sorted ready for next time

    G7RFB
