    Results - 80m Club Championships 2010

    Individual Sessions - 21st Jan Data

    Note from the adjudicator:
    A number of stations will find they have done SPECTACULARLY worse than they expected.  In every case this is due to their having recorded the Mode wrongly (usually as RY when it should have been PS). Each QSO flagged as a Mode mis-match has to be carefully investigated by the adjudicator to determine which was the correct mode, as this affects the scoring.  This is a very time-consuming business and should not be necessary.  Accordingly, all QSOs recorded on the wrong mode have been disallowed. Stations using both modes are advised to check their logs carefully!

    G6CSY
    Some badly overdriven signals heard but not worked.

    G6UJC
    Very slow start and PSK decided not to decode for some unknown reason was working perfectly prior to contest. Oh well enjoyed all the same.

    G6WRW
    First data contest

    G7SOZ
    Only managed to do last half hour due to other commitments.

    G8CKT
    First time on 80M datamodes

    G8FCQ
    Attempt @ QRP. Despite some extensive testing prior to contest had some problems. Due I think to different Audio Characteristics of not my normal Radio or Sound card.
    But as always FB fun

    G8NRP
    very difficult conditions

    GM3POI
    Poor Conditions after solar activity. Who was the idiot that
    that suggested that PSK would be a good idea?

    GM3YEH
    Conditions didn't seem very good from S-W GM this time. Struggled to be heard both run and S&P.

    GW0ETF
    Conditions very difficult for PSK from here..spent 45 minutes
    collecting 7 contacts! Used the K3's cw to data engine for the whole contest - no PC

    GW4BLE
    Off to a great start on RTTY... then went to PSK and all
    went pear shaped from there on....

    GW4BVE
    Poor propagation and it got worse as the contest went on.

    M0AAA
    Hard going. Not one station came back to my CQ calls.

    M0CNP
    Enjoyed this evening despite the relatively poor conditions.

    M0DCD
    Hard going this session

    M0JCM
    Good fun again - not as many QSOs as I had hoped

    M0JEC
    FT817 G4FON Contest and 102ft doublet ONLY 5W

    M0KTM
    Struggled with the conditions to say the least, could not receive any RTTY????

    M0MDF
    Condx were better tonight.

    M0NKS
    A pleasant evening  better than the ssb last week

    M0NQN
    Just couldn't get going!!

    M1ADX
    A bit of a disaster from my point of view. It was very difficult to get a response when I called.

    MM0BQI
    Not the best radio conditions for data modes but it is the taking part that is important! Good levels of activity but very little joy with S+P most of the Qs came from calling CQ.
    Great format that really challenges the operator.

    SOAPBOX:

    2E0VDS
    Good fun.

    G0GDU
    Spend abt 50 mins calling on psk but i guess my 10w not enough to break through the qrm from the qro stations
    psk seems not an ideal contest mode when there is significant band occupancy

    G0GFQ
    Nightmare

    G0MTN
    Interesting propagation. Couldn't face any PSK tonight.

    G0OKF
    a total waste of my time. Conditions were atrocious

    G0PSE
    SD and MixW PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY.  A JOY TO USE

    G0RAF
    Operated from RAF Waddington ARC at The Pyewipe Inn Saxilby Road Lincoln. Rig: Yaesu FT-920 @ 80W    Ant: Homebrew Dipole @ abt 6m. Interface: Commercial    Computer: Panasonic CF-27 Toughbook
    Software: MixW 2.18 & Windows Notepad!
    For some reason I couldn't get RTTY to work when i wanted it to but it worked the previous night when I test ran the setup!  PSK-31 only it was then!

    G0TZZ
    Only mamaged the last few minutes so no PSK this time....Never mind

    G0WHO
    Surprised at the power used by contestants in what is
    a "QRP" mode

    G1XKZ
    Wasted about 15 minutes in the contest with N1MM trying to get PSK31 working. I had used it earler in the day on PSK31 with no problem.

    G3HRH
    Difficult conditions. Hard work with many repeats
    Couldn't seem to get PSK31 to go this time

    G3IZD
    looking forward to better condx later on
    I really struggle with this mode must try MMTTY

    G3LDI
    Too Many RYs!! Too many Line-feeds! Too many of MY calls.

    G3LET
    Propagation held up well this evening. Still getting the hang of the spacing and trying to avoid too many CW abbreviations.

    G3LHJ
    Quite a struggle again. - must get my antenna problem solved

    G3ORY
    Apologies to those who tried to work me early on when I screwed up my macros and was trying to fix them on the fly.
    Thank you for your patience.

    G3PHO
    A total and utter disaster!Got into all kinds of finger trouble with my new Microham keyer and mixW! During tests on a dummy load earlier in the day I was sending 5 watts only and forgot to up the power  to 100W  until I realised near
    end of the contest! That explains why I couldn't raise anyone on a CQ or even search & pounce for most of the contest. PSK seemed very active.

    G3PSM
    Interesting experience and hadn't decided which software to use until shortly before the contest!

    G3SNU
    Spent first hour on ry but by 2100 most rtty stations had migrated to psk

    G3SVD
    I am only submitting a very VERY short check log as I suffered from serious PC problems. The first
    few QSOs were difficult to log and after that impossible so I put out the white flag and surrendered.

    G3SWC
    Had extreme difficulty in resolving PSK and had usual finger trouble giving out duplicate serial numbers!

    G3TBK
    RTTY went OK but as for PSK - only SSTV could be a worse mode for contesting! MANY STRONG STATIONS READABLE ON SEVERAL FREQUENCIES

    G3TKF
    Started late and macros were incorrect ...
    Then discoverd the rx audio being picked up via a mic in the shack and not direct !

    G3TLH
    All QSOs on RTTY. PSK contesting is hard work and no
    fun at all!

    G3TXF
    There's something decidedly flakey about PSK as a contest mode. At least with RTTY QSO exchanges are robust, but on PSK it's not the same! Thanks to Clive GM3POI and Roger G3LDI for huge amount of help with setting up N1MM-MicroHAM-K3 combo. Not an easy task!

    G3VCA
    What a pleasant change from the CW & SSB January events. No QRM little QSB and reasonable skip. ICOM756pro111 and 550 ft delta loop in the clear.

    G3VDB
    Lost my first psk run frequency to a RA3. Never really recovered!

    G3VPW
    First time ever operated on data mode let alone a contest ! Just getting the hang so let's see what happens next time. Loaded MMVARI about one hour before the contest so totally green on the operation and techniques the log shows
    two QSOs with G2YL suspect the QSO at 2053 UTC was with someone else !

    G3ZBU
    Only ran QRP as I suspect running 100W for AFS caused our TV to go funny. By funny I mean the vertical linearity went silly so peoples heads looked disproportionately large!

    G3ZGC
    Very noisy at my home QTH.
    Running IC7700 set to 10w to 132 ft wire up abt 40 ft wrapped into 55 ft garden.

    G4AIU
    Conditions not good IN IO80JX

    G4EBK
    Wasted a lot of time on PSK. many over driven signals. Not a good contest mode.

    G4FAL
    Propagation seemed pretty good from sunny Sheffield.

    G4FKA
    Not a bad start to the data legs. Loads of PSK activity. Conditions variable but held up OK.

    G4FLY
    First contest attempt started late must do better next time !.

    G4JZL
    My first attempt at cc

    G4LMW
    Why was everyone crammed under 3600?
    I would expect to do better, even with 10W, so will work on the set-up. Ten-Tec Orion, 10W to dipole at 25 feet.

    G4SJX
    Rig: ft1000mp mkv field. Pwr: 50w. Ant: 80m dipole centre 50ft. Sw: txt2cbrillo by la0fx ver 1.0

    G4WUG
    A few dramas....Sorry to the stations who suffered my inept macro use but hey-ho good game apart from that thanks for the points.
