    2E0AIV
    First Contest not high score but happy with first cont
    found this program easy to use

    2E0RFS
    Very noisy band conditions

    2E0TQR
    Enjoyed my first attempt at a SSB Contest, will do
    better next time.

    2E0ZDA
    Lots of QRP. I loved it!!!

    G0AAA
    There were a few "unbeleiveably" strong signals on the band tonight. Sadly mine wasn't one of them! Is it simply conditions and location? My 100w to a dipole at 70ft from Surrey wasn't in the same league!

    G0AFQ
    Good Conditions

    G0AJJ
    Heavy QRM but good fun!


    G0AOJ
    Band was very crowded, very good conditions and low noise level here. SD is brilliant contest logging software

    G0DAY
    What a racket- This contest appears to get more people entering this contest every month - can't be a bad thing though. Space is now much used up-how can theses contests keep expanding ?

    G0DVJ
    Good conditions. Not many Europeans as previous sessions
    Good fun as always

    G0EUN
    Very good conditions, but crowded.

    G0FYX
    Plenty of activity. SD faultless.

    G0HIK
    Good Fun, band got very noisey after 50 mins.

    G0HSA
    First time over the 100 qso barrier. A big improvement on last month's efforts. Can't wait for the final series in July
    SD was faultless as usual

    G0IIQ
    A most enjoyable evening

    G0KYS
    Started 10 mins late, so no prep. Got lucky at 0830 and
    found a frequency. However another station started up
    1kHz up and stopped anyone hearing me - great!
    Struggled on with S&P for last 20 mins.

    G0LGJ/M
    Laptop batt failed 20:00 gmt. Hayfever bad! enjoyed contest

    G0MTN
    Antenna fell down before the contest - most of it was at 10 feet. Didn't feel as loud as usual, but being in the Midlands helped for the mid-summer session.

    G0OKF
    Conditions improving since last round.
    SD is as named --super..

    G0ORH/P
    Used my K2/100 which I built last year, and battery power for the first time on SSB. The K2 was excellent. I think I worked everything I heard. Did not S & P. Laptop battery just made it.

    G0RAF
    Problem with psu voltage. Thank you to all those who
    managed to work me. Well done to the stations who were
    being jammed by music, blank carriers and recordings
    of other contest contacts and still kept going.



    G0UIQ
    good  contest tnks to all

    G0VZQ
    Used it Post contest this time until I gain experience
    It is still useful.

    G0WHO
    Very enjoyable mutual interference with fax

    G0WJX
    SD was excellent for warning of dupes.


    G1OAC
    too much qrm 9+ could not make out any calls
    only hear locals

    G1RVP
    enjoyed the contest.Thanks to all contacts.

    G3GLL
    Lots of QRM !  SD worked fine

    G3HRH
    Very busy but enjoyable. A lot of very strong signals
    Managed to get through the QRM most times

    G3IZD
    Noise and continental QRM rapidly increses after 1950.

    G3LHJ
    Enjoyable as ever activity still quite high - holes still hard to find and hold Hi. one more to go for 2008. 73 de Derrick

    G3MGW
    This is a great contest with many operators enjoying it
    SD is easy to use and makes looging so simple. I use a simple  antenna and 50Watts everyone can join in

    G3MXH
    Band conditions quite good but hard to work through the QRM at times. Nice to be back on the air at my new QTH.

    G3NDJ
    enjoyed contest. sd good to use

    G3PHO
    Wow! Things went like a bomb for the first 70 mins then I foolishly left my run frequency, which I'd used from the start, to go hunting.. a big mistake as my scoring rate dropped.  Still, I can't grumble with over 130 QSOs . A terrible S9+ 30 noise above 3670kHz made the top section unusable here.

    G3PYC
    For me SD is indispensible

    G3RRL
    Good contest again enjoyed working for the 90 minutes.

    G3RSD
    Used "sd" worked perfectly

    G3SJJ
    Propagation around UK seemed good with many 2Eo and M3 stations. I experienced some deliberate jamming but the DSP filtering on the K3 worked efectively and no QSOs were missed.

    G3SVD
    A good way to spend an evening, 1 hour run mode then the skip seemed to change so I moved to S&P and finished quite pleased with myself. I was amused to be given a serial number of 230 after about an hour by another competitor,  I queried it twice and was told it was correct. I really do like this contest format. I wonder if when we get  some sunspots to make it worth while some HF contests could be organised in
    this short but regular format?

    G3TBK
    Very noisy conditions tonight.. 

    G3TKF
    Good conditions and low qrm for a change !

    G3TXF
    Even with an identical station and antenna results can vary
    dramatically from one 80m CC to the next. A freq which appears to work reasonably well in the first few minutes of the contest can, if unlucky, soon descend into a bottomless pit of miscellaneous noises, continental nets and splatter from both sides. It's all part of the fun of the 80m CCs!

    G3VCA
    A good contest spoilt only by certain people deliberatly tuning up and making derogatory comments about contests

    G3VIP
    RIG IC7000 10W - 50M LW - Homebrew logger
    a struggle on QRP

    G3VPW
    Ran the first hour then S&P until the end, still don't have the balance right !

    G3YEC
    Why oh why do some stations just repeatedly only say
    "QRZ" and never give their callsigns for several
    calls. They rely on "us" calling them but for how
    much longer. In a contest you cannot wait for ever
    for his call only to learn you worked him 10 minutes

    G3YOA
    Used SD as usual

    G3ZBU
    Downloaded latest SD this afternoon but left it
    on 10m band so had to manually 'fix' the log!

    G3ZGC
    Very noisy QTH but somehow managed ok. Antenna 132 ft wire wrapped into 55 ft garden ht 40ft. 100w. IC7700.

    G3ZHE
    single op 100w low good night 73 albert

    G3ZVW
    Plenty of activity and plenty of QRM to go with it.

    G4ARN/P
    great fun but would be better if the practice of
    "reserving the frequency" is stopped somehow

    G4DDX
    Enjoyed the contest, did not lose my voice this time
    after taking tablets.Used SD which makes it so easy.and
    my score is getting better

    G4ERW
    Spent too much time trying to find 'clear' (!) frequencies!

    G4FNL
    Conditions seemed good for inter-G QSO's. It was nice
    to have a reasonable rate throughout the contest.
    Thanks to everyone for the QSO's.

    G4FSU
    Bit of a rush - arrived back from airport 15 minutes
    before the start. Rig wouldn't talk to logger, SWR
    horrible, so just carried on anyway!

    G4GZB
    Enjoyed the contest. All went well. SD worked well again.

    G4IUF
    Another good night

    G4OOC
    The band was definitely crowded good condx
    SD really is SUPERB

    G4RCG
    Very noisy start with extremly strong qrm but just
    steady way did not go S&P untill the last 20 mins and
    managed to pick up quite a few more. Very enjoyable, SD

    G4VUD
    Conditions good, not much north & south, plenty east &
    SD works very well, getting the hang of it now

    G4ZGP
    Would prefer a better aerial for 80m

    G7SHG
    thanks to all stations
