    Individual Sessions - 22nd Jan Data

    Notes from the adjudicator:
    1. PSK QSOs must be indicated by the identifier 'PS'. This is the only value which the log entry Robot will accept.
    2. Please make sure to distinguish correctly between datamodes, marking all RTTY QSOs 'RY' and PSK QSOs 'PS'.

    G7SKR  
    Dreadful conditions and a shocking performance.  90 minutes of woe!  Managed to work the locals and a couple of continental stations, and not much in  between.

    G7SOZ  
    Very poor conditions.

    G7VRK  
    Hard work - lot of noise.

    G8FCQ  
    So disappointing.  Will have a go next month as can't imagine two consecutive months could be as bad ... or could they?  Good skip to GM.  Short skip hard going ... even ground wave hard going.

    M0DIW  
    Terrible night.

    GW0ETF  
    First attempt at data with my K3 so it was fun in spite of the appalling conditions.

    GW4VBE  
    My first data contest.  Propagation not good!!

    M0ANM  
    Hard going, as usual, from Cheshire.

    M0DCD  
    RX conditions poor.

    M0LUY/P  
    Noisy, and trouble with leads,

    M0MDF  
    What a lousy night!  Condx not very good at all.

    M0NKS  
    Quite noisy tonight.  Was hard to be heard on 10 watts.

    M0OXO  
    Enjoyed contest but heavy QRM.

    M0VBY  
    Really hard going - CU GN soon.

    M0WKR  
    Fun, but HARD WORK!

    SOAPBOX:

    2E0IMW   
    First Data Mode contest.  Band conditions poor.

    2E0RFS   
    First time attempting data mode - some contacts were difficult due to conditions.

    G0AJJ   
    Terrible conditions.  Great difficulty in resolving signals.

    M0CNP   
    'Fraid conditions were very, very poor early on.  Then I had had phone calls from my children and their families (it was my 66th birthday) so no further activity was possible.  Don't know if conditions improved eventually.

    G0GFQ   
    Difficult conditions - hard to resolve anything.

    G0KDS   
    Not a good night - antenna only 4m high.

    G0KYA   
    Hard work, long skip and program problems - oh dear!

    G0RAF  
    Poor conditions. Can only get better.

    G2YL   
    Poor conditions in North Yorkshire.

    G3HRH   
    Very long skip.  PM and PA only decent signals on south coast.  Gs very weak and wobbly, needing several repeats.

    G3IZD   
    Unstable conditions, but I am gradually getting the hang of this mode.  S & P currently, but who knows?

    G3LDI   
    Awful propagation, probably what we sgould expect at this time of year.  Heard SB within the PSK segment.  The GMs were doing well however, as expected.

    G3LZQ   
    80m 4Sq as the dipole was broke.

    G3MXH   
    My first venture into PSK31.  Not much UK activity.  Found DIGIPAN worked OK for me but I need much more familiarisation of how to operate it in contests.  Good fun and I will certainly persevere with this mode of working.

    G3ORY   
    Conditions were simply dire in the Midlands.  The selective fading rendered even the louder RTTY signals hard to copy.  PSK just faded in and out.  No-one in our club said how good it was and what fun it had been!

    G3PDH   
    Another struggle with poor condx.

    G3PHO   
    Excuse this pathetic entry ... lousy propagation all night!  It was as if I had no antenna.  Only for or five genuine 599 signals - the rest were in the noise and hard to work.

    G3SHF   
    Terrible conditiond - can only get better!

    G3TKF   
    RUBBISH!

    G3TLH   
    Conditions difficult for QRP.  Favoured GM stations.  Was working RTTY without a computer - sending RTTY by keying in morse on paddle key and decoding on K3's LCD.  What a great way to work datamodes - enjoyed it

    G3VCA   
    A very difficult contest; not used to giving my RST/No out three or four times - there must be many errors in the logs this time!

    G3VDB   
    Terrible propagation - flutter, QSB, QRN but not much QRM!

    G3VQO   
    Exactly on the stroke of 20:00 all my macros vanished.  What with the trouble-shooting and then re-inputting the data, over 30 minutes were lost.  Six QSOs on PSK then found no macros on RTTY!  Re-input those and managed five RTTY QSOs.  Great fun!  Really looking forward to next time! What else can go wrong?

    G3WRR   
    Problems with S9+10dB noise level, but worked all I heard.  Hoped RTTY as a digital mode would be more tolerant of noise, but apparently not!

    G3WVG   
    Tough going from the South of England.

    G3YHV   
    Very long skip - G stations were very difficult to copy.

    G3ZBU   
    Conditions seemed very poor.  Tried PSK as well as RTTY but not very successfully.  I cold not find a way to get SD to go into RY or PS mode, therefore SD complained about dupes.

    G3ZGC   
    Very noisy but lots of GMs abd PA0 stations.  All RTTY - no PSK.

    G4EBK   
    Another poor result from Eastern England.  18 Qs in first 40 mins. Condiyiond changed then only four more to the end.

    G4FQI   
    Were conditions REALLY that bad?  First time PSK - interesting.

    G4LMW   
    Awful conditions though N1MM worked well for both modes ... just a shame no-one could hear me!

    G4OGB   
    Never seen such a quantity of garbage on screen.  Not one PSK signal could be resolved, most RTTY stns that were resolved could not hear me.

    G4WGE   
    Think hard ... try and write something positive about this session ... and nothing!  It was just plain dreadful!

    G4WUG   
    Interesting twist (PSK31 & RTTY) - shame the inter-G conditions were not good.

    G4ZFE   
    Very poor conditions.  Slow  going tonight, can only get better.
