    G4FNL  
    Good to see a little more activity and quite a good number of QSOs into France. FT1000MP + 80m horizontal loop at 30ft.

    G4FSU  
    Good fun. Very much enjoy the format & not having to stake out a frequency for an hour before the start. Keep spreading the word & it'll get busier. And we'll sort out the macros for the sprint format!!! Tnx SD. Elecraft K3 + Doublet at 10 metres

    G4OGB  
    Getting more activity. SD as usual OK. IC746 + 176ft
    Doublet @ 15ft.

    G4RCG  
    Did about 30 mins from my radio club just to give a few points away. FT1000 + Dipole.

    G4RLS  
    Poor QTH for 80mtres. Lots of local noise but great fun except for the scrappy paddle in need of a service. My CW isn't really that poor (honest guv!).  TS850 + Loaded Dipole 50ft top

    G4RQI  
    First Sprint. Ten Tec Omni VII + Inverted V.

    G4ZFE  
    More activity this session was most welcome. A fun
    contest series. Elecraft K3/100 to W3DZZ at 28 feet.

    G8FCQ  
    Hard going for a Gee Ate ! Lots of strong sigs tending to overload sound card must investigate working direct keying.  FT1000 + 170 ft doublet.

    G8LED  (G4CZB).
    Needs a bit more participation to work really well. Elecraft K2 + Doublet.

    GM3ZBE    Only made it on for the last few minutes! Must be
    my smallest log entry ever. Ft1000D + 80M dipole at 40ft.

    GW0ETF  
    First time I've not worked 'Ed'....!

    GW4BLE  
    "Every little helps".

    MM0GPZ  
    Crikey, not as easy as just listening for serials Hi.

    PG7V  
    Activity a little bit better than last month, but more stations would be nice. If only half of the 80m CC participants would join... I'll keep trying, see you next month!

    YL3DX  
    IC-756PROIII 100W + dipole.

    EI5DI   
    How about allowing repeat QSOs with individual stations
    once 30 minutes has elapsed since the previous QSO?

    G0MTN    
    Wow - really surprised people heard me with the 160m inverted L mostly coiled up at five feet, plus one radial!

    G0TZZ   
    My apologies to all. A colleague M0RYB was transmitting
    GB2CW in the next room this played merry hell with the PC and N1MM. I was fighting on all fronts but fun was had. RF into
    everything from 2m CW transmissions is definitely not an aid to contesting.

    G3GLL   
    SD worked fine- A little more activity- but not much !!
    FT1000mp + Low dipole.

    G3HRH   
    Very difficult to read CW and type at the same time. A mismatch between brain and keyboard. Nevertheless enjoyable in reasonable conditions down here in Cornwall.
    TS530SP + end-fed quarterwave at 12ft

    G3KKP   
    Conditions seemed well down and my grasp of the Sprint
    technique was down also !
    Kenwood TS-870 + 102ft doublet 15ft AGL.

    G3KNU    
    IC756pro3 + W3DZZ Dipole

    G3LDI   
    Gradually getting used to the slower contest sprint
    procedure, but it will take a few contests before I feel
    comfortable with it!

    G3LIK   
    Slow going towards the end, but a few more getting
    involved with the sprints now. Conditions were good.
    FT1000MP + Inverted Vee W3DZZ apex 35 feet.

    G3TLH   
    First attempt at Club Sprint. What an excellent idea for a contest. QSY rules make it different and was amazed to
    find some of "big guns" answering my CQs. Found it all rather
    relaxing and civilised. Also not too long. Will certainly take
    part again.
    K2 5 Watts + End fed 150 feet.

    G3TXF   
    Nice to hear a few neighbouring countries joining in. It felt like a "sprint" for the first 30 minutes but thereafter just degenerated into a slow contest with compulsory frequency
    hops!

    G3VMW   
    Rig was 100W from Home Made Star II DSP Transceiver and
    130ft CF doublet at 40ft

    G3VQO   
    REALLY hard going for the last half-hour. Received one
    report of T7 note - hopefully resolved (earthing problem after
    shack re-arrangement). Good to hear several French stations
    joining in. FT-920 + random end-fed wire.

    G3YMC   
    My first venture in the sprints. Apart from getting a bit confused with the procedure at times I quite enjoyed it and will try and get some more of our members on. These events certainly need more participation, I ran out of stuff to work at the end. Elecraft K2 5W + 65ft longwire.

    G3ZHE   
    Long skip, first time into Latvia for a point HI. Good Fun. 
    100w + 90ft doublet.

    G3ZRJ   
    Quite a few regulars missing. Some good signals tonight
    A Few at 40 dB over. Thanks for another fun evening. SD worked perfectly as always.  TS-850S 80W + 80M Folder Dipole. Max height 30 ft.

    G4ARI   
    Elecraft K2 + Half Wave Dipole up at 40 feet

    G4ERW   
    TS850 + 80M Inverted V Dipole @ 18m

    G4FAL   
    I still get I and E mixed up, hence one dupe - sorry Rich. Why did Samuel chose two dots to represent a letter that looks like one dot?

    G4FKA   
    Pre-holiday clear-out at work meant another late start,
    this time 30 minutes in. One day I WILL do a whole sprint!
