    G6FOP
    lower number this time from others must be condx
    RIG ic7400,shortened dipole. worked well again

    G7SKR
    Much improved audio interface worked well this time. PSK31 very quiet this time. Football maybe?

    G8FCQ
    Great fun poor result. Must do better

    M0AAA
    Rig - FT817,  Antenna - G5RV
    First time on PSK31 I will be better In the next contest.

    M0CNP
    Conditions seemed a little down, else fewer on air.
    Thanks everyone for the points.

    M0JEC
    FT817 5w Longwire

    M0JQK
    Like platting fog but enjoyed it all the same

    M0MDF
    Not bad condx. Dificult geting thru in QRp but persevered.

    M0NKS
    lots of activity but had to finish early

    M0SWE
    Great fun, was using a shortened dipole in inverted-V and 25W. Nice to work G4BYG on PSK63.

    M1EBV
    It would be very interesting to find out how many PSK QSOs
    were made in the contest. I'd guess well below 1% so the fence for PSK at 3583 is really unnecessary. If the organisers really want to encourage that mode maybe they should alternate the modes by month? Either way the fence should go.

    M3UZL
    Great Evening. Using the new B station. Looks to be working well

    M3VKL
    Another great evening

    M3WYX
    first ever rtty contest, steep learning curve, see you next month

    MM0RKT
    Quite nice condx, for once, especially after half time.

    SOAPBOX:

    G0AJJ
    Just a few this time as was otherwise engaged!

    G0KDS
    Not such a good night, a QRP station stamped on me every time I tried a run. 3 times by the same station

    G0MTN
    Usual Wednesday session "last 30 minute" sprint...

    G0OKF
    TX/RX ICOM 756 Pro III. 17 mtr wire at 8m high via a SGC 230 tuner.

    G0ORH
    Band to crowded need more space, it's impossible with more new operators coming in. Need a re-think, and quick!

    G0WOT
    Antenna, hardware & software problems then when I thought I'd got going the clock on the computer was wrong - not an enjoyable evening!  Still will try again next time!

    G3LDI
    Noise, QRM and static. Why do we call it fun!??  Noticed several stations sending no leading zeros and also a few just sending a serial number only, also with no leading zeros. There were also some ropey clicky signals about. I usually check mine before starting (Victor Meldrew hat removed!)

    G3LHJ
    Hard going this time, and what with a violant thunder storm going on right through the hour & half, very high stactic. not very
    enjoyable at all. hope better next month.

    G3ORY
    I believe the practice of sending abbreviated serial numbers is
    counterproductive. In difficult conditions sending 7 instead of 007 looks more like a possible error. I asked for two or three repeats of abbreviated numbers to be sure.

    G3PDH
    Lots of QRN, clicks and repeats. Need a bigger band soon.

    G3RRL
    Good contest with plenty of activity and good cndx.

    G3RWL
    Need to encourage more PSK activity

    G3SVD
    Another difficult data mode contest. I must really get my self sorted out for RTTY with some more selectivity on RX.

    G3SWC
    Was not able to start until 1930. Also, apologies to G3YOA - I had finger trouble with MMTTY!

    G3TBK
    FT1000MP 100W to dipole at 65ft. Good cndx, RTTY sector did not seem as full tonight, but plenty of QSOs anyway

    G3TLH
    Difficult going with QRP this time

    G3TXF
    The activity in the DATA sessions appears to be creeping ever
    upwards with new callsigns joining in each time. Exchanges are, for the most part, more free of woffle than they used to be, with just a few exceptions!

    G3VCA
    An experience to work QRP, at least I have the aerial

    G3VIP
    RIG IC7000 10W - 50M LW - homebrew logger - hamscope. Plenty of stns to work, couldn't find clear freq to CQ

    G3VQO
    First 45 minutes CQing on PSK just above 3580 - very quiet! Then found a clear spot just above 3583 and started CQing on RTTY - better results, but still room for improvement. Did not notice any RTTY below 3583 this time, so message has
    been received!

    G3WVG
    ft1000mp (100w version) + dipole at 65ft

    G3XSV
    Computer malfunction !  Started with 30 mins to go.

    G3ZBU
    Never an idle moment as there was plenty of activity. However the first characters sent are often corrupted. I noticed some stations sending MMMM before the callsigns which is a great idea!

    G3ZGC
    Well my score is improving so I must be learning something!
    Antenna 132 ft wire wrapped in 55 ft garden.

    G4ABX
    Variable conditions, but lots of activity
    Good contest. Best ever score for 10watts data!

    G4EBK
    Strange cdnx with many stations not decoding even though
    they were good signals and other times very weak signals
    decoding with no problem at all.

    G4FKA
    Another evening nursing equipment. At 1845z the station was switched off and the auto-ATU was in bits on the lounge floor. Some tell-tale smells indicated that all was not well. Toroid for the balanced feeder getting extremely hot. At 1859 the station was still switched off as I reconnected and hoped for the best. Had to nurse it but managed to hit the airwaves at 1900 and work a few anyway. Better than the zero I thought I was going to work 15 minutes earlier!

    G4FQI
    And the BBQ was very tempting.....

    G4OGB
    Condx picking up. More getting on DATA, more room needed!

    G4RCG
    Had major problems for the start with com ports not working finally got it going after 20 mins then had a great time the band slot for RTTY in this test is far too small and should be wider
    to accomadate all the stations.

    G4ZFE
    Please increase the allowed frequency limits! Good condx
