Individual Sessions - 24th July DATA
G4ZFE 10W from K3 to dipole at 25 feet. Good conditions. Looking forward to next years 80m CCs. G7SKR DM780 worked well. PSK31 very quiet here G7VRK MixW worked well as all ways see you all next year GM3RCM/P All fingers and thumbs, operating portable in my van on the Isle of Arran, (our club IOTA DXpedition location) just 50 metres from the blue waters of the Clyde!! GW4BLE Didn't get on 'til just past 9pm, and decided that given the late start QRP might be a good strategy - some had difficulty copying me though! M0AAA I only got the psk working 5 mins from the end of the test.Then sent wrong number. You can't beat the CW. M0CES Could not run qrp this time for sure M0CNP Difficult coditions last night with constantly changing skip distances. At one stage I was trying to work on a frequency with 3 changing stations coming in! Very difficult! M0DDT/P 5w to full-wave loop from IOW!! M0ERA K2 M0MDF Not a bad contest. Condx were'nt too bad. M0VBY Thanks to all taking part - CU Next Year. M3UZL Great event from B station M3VKL Another great evening MM0BQI/P Operated from the holiday cottage in the Summer Isles as prep for the IOTA contest. Even with a full sized 80m vertical, a dipole at 20 feet AND an inverted L running 100w from this far north could not make myself heard, gave up and went out in the boat! Looking forward to the new sessions next year, BTW N1MM Logger supports the 80m CCs, has built in RTTY and PSK decoders AND is free. |
SOAPBOX: G0AAA 100W FT1000MP DIPOLE AT 65FT G0AFQ Few PSK stations heard G0AJJ Tnx to all for points. See you next year! G0DAY Tough going,used a new rig FT450, missed the filters in the icom IC7400 which are brilliant.Thanks to all who struggle to copy my 10watts QRP and see you all next year. G0KDS Better with less G0OKF Using ICOM 756 PRO III 17 Mtr wire at 8m high, 50 watts via an SGC 230 tuner. G3HRH very difficult conditions from Cornwall lot of QSB and signals not as strong as usual G3JJZ RIG - IC756 PRO III 100 W. ANTENNAS - 85' LW All done on the preset memories in the IC756. Only trouble was that I couldn't keep up- I forgot to update the sent serial twice, as well as leaving the sent report as 559 at the start. I will have to get the PC to do it all for me next year! G3LHJ Plenty of activity - but signals much weaker this time - quite a struggle, enjoyable - cu next year 73 de Derrick G3LHJ G3PDH At last the end for another year, now I can spring clean the shack! G3RRL Last one but looking forward to next year G3SNU Enjoyed the good condx. MixW must be the best digi programme around cannot praise it too highly. G3TLH Not too bad with 5 Watts in a noisy contest G3TXF Well that's it for 2008... a great series of 80m CCs ... sorry that I wasn't QRV for a few more of them. These are excellent format mini-contests. The area around "Bristol" must be hopping during 80m CCs! G3VCA A good contest with little QRM this time. ICOM 756PRO111 & 550ft Delta Loop Antenna G3VIP RIG IC7000 10W - 40MTR LW - Homebrew logger using MMTTY engine, thanks to Mako JE3HHT. Few regulars missing, average condx. See you all next year. G3YAJ Very Enjoyable yet again, needs more frequencies as very noisy G3YEC Last of the 80MM CCs and been very nice. See you all next year. Gardually getting to grips with this RTTY lark! G3ZBU Had to alter the soundcard settings, again! I think some software is taking control of the soundcard as the volume sliders seem to have little effect any more... The weather was so nice that we had a BBQ on the South Coast earlier in the evening, hence a minute late starting this contest. Another positive comment: most stations now send both QSO callsigns on each over, which reduces confusion level considerably. G4LMW Terrible... Could not get software to key tx so started 25 mins late..... then my numbers were garbled, then my 5 year-old decided to develop an uncontrollable cough and needed nursing! G4LWB NOISY QRM G4OGB I think we need a 'QRP Corral' G4RCG Very noisy this time with loud stations all over the band it was very hard to get the stations that were calling. We need more bandwidth for this contest as its growing year on year. G4WGE My enthusiasm for CCs is on the wane! Tetris on the PDA was more appealing. So lucky that this was the last one of the year! G4WUG Aha !!!! Found out how to use the soapbox (Shame its the last one hi) Several disturbances tonight but seemed busy and some good operating going on. See you all next year. |
