    GM3POI
    Better Condx in Orkney than the CW event

    GW4BVE
    Intra UK conditions improved later in contest. An earlier start in winter would encourage club to club contacts.

    M0AAA
    Picked up in the last 10 mins of the contest. Looking
    forward to the summer Club Championships.

    M0ANM
    Conditions very difficult, had problems with antenna after first
    half hour.

    M0CES
    Horrible conditions up here on the east coast

    M0CNP
    First 45 munutes, the band was dead, then suddenly high
    noise until about 2110, then the band opened up brilliantly, but too late! Thanks everyone for the points though. As usual a thoroughly enjoyable contest

    M0CUL
    Very noisy in southern UK!

    M0DCD
    This session was hard work, not as many heard as last time.

    M0DIW
    not a good evening

    M0FRH
    Good fun

    M0IAA
    hard work v qrm

    M0JEC

    M0KOP
    Dire conditions

    M0LUV
    Dreadful Band Conditions but still fun

    M0MCX
    Inter-G Propagation started to come strong at about
    9:20pm for us Midlands based stations - about time!

    M0NKS
    VERY noisy to start but got better later .

    M0OXO
    Poor start but got better poor condx but OK to Europe

    M0SCG
    Lots of QSB on the band and high noise level

    M0VBY
    Really hard going

    M0WLF
    Had a disgruntled old man who objected to contests who blatently told me he was going to jam me and proceeded to for the majority of the contest.

    M0WTG
    very poor conditions, not heard much untill 9 pm

    M0XDX
    Band conditions dire until 2100 then sudden improvement
    suddenly the band was full of G's. My 1st 80m cc,enjoyed it.

    M0ZAR
    1st contest. Enjoyed, but stressful !

    M1PTR
    Slow start with bands dominated by european stations until 2100 when inter-G opened up. Very enjoyable.

    M3RCV
    Only a short foray this month. Typical 'January' conditions until
    shortly before the end.

    M3XYC
    I'm pleased with my first venture into contesting.

    M3YOM
    Tough going, conditions were poor

    M6CMG
    Horrible and noisy conditions

    M6KAH

    SOAPBOX:

    2E0RFS
    Band conditions poor but interesting.

    2E0SEW
    Great Fun

    2E0TQR
    Tnx for enjoyable 90 mins

    2E0ZIP
    GROOVY First time in a contest.

    DG4DW
    Mni tnx for the nice short contest. It was very funny.
    When i have time, we hear us in the next contest.

    G0AAA
    FT1000MP (100W version) + Dipole at 70ft.
    Usual poor uk propagation for January. Very tough going.

    G0AJJ
    Very heavy cold....lost voice and only managed a single contact!

    G0CLP/P
    Total wall of qrm across both sections of the band. Some very strong G (not local) signals wonder what antennas are being
    used? Very hard going but easier after 2100

    G0EYR
    Very noisy band improved after about 20.45

    G0FYX
    First hour was a real struggle. Long skip. Last half hour the band was lively. SD logging program worked well as usual.

    G0GDU
    Ft1000 ,100w, w3dzz sloping to east with centre @ 40ft
    very noisy at start, picked up in last 15minutes.
    Strongest in last 10 minutes were M3RCV(59+10ddb) & M3WYX (59+20db) both much stronger than G3ORY?

    G0GFQ
    Difficult and strange conditions

    G0JLF
    Dire

    G0KYS
    On late.   Conditions terrible!

    G0LGJ
    Terrible conditions poor inter G

    G0MLY
    Lots of continental QRM - hard work!

    G0MRH
    Absolutely awful conditions until the last half hour

    G0NUZ
    Hard work for so little results

    G0OKF
    An occasion which makes me wonder why I participate. Will think hard about next SSB contests. My antenna is not up to the job

    G0VDZ
    Hard work, for very litte.

    G0VGS
    Really strange conditions with long skip. I do think it is about time that some stations were checked for exceeding the 100W limit.

    G0WJX
    Very noisy band

    G1BHR
    Had a cold and lost my voice after just one QSO!

    G1FON
    Please give your C/S phonetically everybody!!!

    G3HRH
    Poor conditions for inter-G contacts
    Band only opened in last half hour

    G3IZD
    Very strange conditions, big signals from Channel coast up here to  Cumbria but little in between. Obviously those operating from areas of high activity able to make biggger scores. However the January start to the contest was not the disaster I envisaged.

    G3LDI
    I nearly gave up in disgust at the propagation for the first hour. I heard one very loud station, G3OLB, and then a couple of weak stations. I then heard G4RCG at S-7. I spent ten minutes calling him, air getting bluer, until finally he suddenly came up to S-9 plus and I did manage a QSO. It was a struggle until 9 p.m. and managed a run to get to 82. When GM3POI gave me 77 to my 13 I wondered if my gear was working! The critical freq was below 3.5MHz and gradually increased. Maybe we should have started at 9 p.m.!!

    G3LHJ
    Crazy condx again - certainly not a even playing field the GM's having all the fun, and thanks to EU stations coming on, why did you bring back January again ?????

    G3LIK
    Very poor condition and difficult to make QSO's. Lot of stations were running a lot more than 100W which is against the rules and they should be penalised. With AFS etc in January think these contests should start in February to save the voice calling.

    G3MXH
    Found the band very poor for uk stations until within 1/2
    hour of the finish. Would kave been very slow if the
    european stations hadn't joined in!!!

    G3NDJ
    Condx tough for first hour

    G3NFB
    Worst yet. Condx appaling for most of the contest.

    G3NPF
    Very odd conditions at the start but picked up later.

    G3OLB
    Dreadful conditions until the last 5 minutes when the skip suddenly shortened!

    G3PDH
    Difficult to understand the propagation on such nights. The odd loud G and one way paths!

    G3PHO
    Terrible conditions! Please go back to a February start next year.

    G3PSM
    Diabolic band conditions for the first hour!

    G3RHH
    Hard going due to long skip and QRM

    G3RRL
    Very noisy and few signals up to 2100 then improving to

    G3RSD
    Slow to start with then picked up towards the end

    G3SHF
    Dissappointing conditions until last 20 minutes

    G3SNU
    Hard going with constantly changing skip condx.

    G3TBK
    Very poor conditions for first hour, then suddenly improved. FT1000MP, 100W, Dipole at 75 feet

    G3TKF
    Someone switched the G stations on at 2120

    G3TXF
    You know there's something odd happening when you can barely hear or work any stations at all within about 200 miles, but there's GM3POI up in the Orkneys giving you nr 86 just 27 minutes into the contest!

    G3UJE
    SOAPBOX: Started slowly with deliberate QRM'er and long skip.  Weak G's at first but improved considerably by second half.  Scores improved the further north you are!

    G3VCA
    Ventured out of bed with the man flu for this one. I did not find it easy or enjoyable.

    G3VDB
    Just dipped in for a few minutes

    G3VIP
    RIG IC7000 - 10W - 40mtr LW - homebrew logger
    Only made last 30 mins just as signals came up

    G3VPW
    Very hard going, no where as many stns as in last
    weeks CW event.

    G3VUS
    v poor condx in NW England initially a few G's only

    G3YHV
    a looney kept jamming us !

    G3YOA
    Signals poor for first 45 min and then slowly improved

    G3ZBU
    Dire conditions until nearly the end when things became
    almost normal.

    G3ZGC
    Conditions poor at the start with GMs doing well but shortened suddenly just before the end. The IC7700 display in seconds went from noise to signals. Rig 1C7700 100w to 132 ft wire wrapped into 55 ft garden. A real struggle for my antenna tonight especially with S9 electrical noise.

    G3ZHE
    critical freq 2.75Mhz at start. one black hole in north cheshire

    G3ZRJ
    First SSB contest for many a year, difficult to describe the conditions without resorting to expletives.

    G4ABX
    BAND conditions were very poor for inter G working

    G4BXT
    It was like one of those science fiction movies where a fog covers an area and nothing can get in or out.I honestly thought there was a problem with the antenna about 15 minutes when the band came to life in North Kent!

    G4DBS
    A very difficult contest due to conditions
    SD is the only contest logging software that I use

    G4DDX
    After the good conditions for the cw leg it was a
    dissapointment to find such poor conditions. It was
    hard work but still enjoyable. Used SD as usual which
    makes it all so easy.

    G4DZL
    I used SD for logging - it's great.

    G4EFO
    poor band conditions at start. 1st time user, nice programme

    G4ELZ
    Changing skip

    G4FAL
    Conditions picked up dramatically in the last period

    G4FKA
    I knew the CW leg was too good to be true. Back to the usual dire January conditions in this part of the world!

    G4FNL
    Conditions were as expected - awful. Compared to my
    previous weeks exploits in the CW event, my SSB score is halved. It's amazing what a difference a few days can make.

    G4FSU
    Terrible conditions, almost no Gs audible at first,
    picked up a little after 20:00.

    G4HSU
    100w FT897 Doublet at 4m

    G4KNO
    Awful for first hour, but skip shortened in last half hour to allow CQ-ing.

    G4LMW
    Very tough conditions. Europe booming but very few Gs for first half hour. 100w, dipole, FT-897

    G4LWA
    V long skip at outset. Suffered continuous S9+10 noise floor throughout and eventually a few stations emerged through it. SD was easy once I had re-familiarised with it after a 6-month gap. Hope to have located and cured noise before next leg.

    G4LWB
    High noise/qrm for first half of contest
    improved later with many continental stations on air

    G4OOC
    Sorry to say it was a disaster for me
    However SD worked perfect as usual

    G4RCG
    This was a strange test, started so slow with stn's very weak then they came up for 10 mins then went down again, in between the EU stn's were +20bds I had a lot of fun, even the jammers failed to shift me !!

    G4VUD
    Very long skip, had problems hearing people

    G4WGE
    Thought the CW session was too good to be true - so normal service resumed...... awful conditions, especially when you are QRP! Did half and hour, got fed up, went to pub instead!

    G5JJ
    Conditions were unusual in the SW - plenty of long
    skip signals. Few inter UK QSO's.
    Tried out SD-1417, it worked very well.

    G5KC
    Band conditions poor - constant changes in propogation
    Good to see 80m CC's again - great to use SD !!

    G6FOP
    dire conditions

    G6UBM
    Long skip and slow at start, OX nice!! Picked up at end

    G7SHG
    Conditions very very bad,as expected in january but thanks to all stations for there points

    G7SKR
    Appalling conditions from here in Cheshire. All long skip to
    Europe. The last 15 minutes saw an improvement in conditions but that wasn't long enough to make any real headway.

    G7VRK
    Hard work to night  lot of noise on here

    G8FMJ/P
    poor conditions until last 15mins

    G8YMW/P
    Cndx awful but picked up @ 2100hrs. Noticed some deliberate jamming. To the jammers, the conditions did more damage than you
