    2E0NKM
    My first ever contest

    2E0RCV
    Harder work than I imagined!

    2E0XIS
    good fun some nice GM openings

    2W0XTP
    My first contest very difficult with 50w. Will definitely take part in another. Software used was SD simple and easy to use

    G0AAA
    Good to see that activity was as high as ever.......unfortunately so was the noise level!

    G0ADH
    As many of you already know - I am now a Laryngectomee so thank you all very much for your patience.

    G0AJJ
    Lost 30 mins due to local static. Not the best of conditions but had fun!

    G0DVJ
    Nice session - good long skip towards the end.

    G0FPU
    FIRST TIME RSGB-80M-CC.VERY ENJOYABLEFRIENDLY CONTEST

    G0FYX
    Hard going at times. Condx variable. SD logging program worked well.

    G0GDU
    HIGH NOISE LEVELS FROM NEARBY HV POWER LINES DURING FIRST 2 HOURS - FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO HOLD A RUN LESS G STATIONS AS SKIP LENGTHENED AND THOSE WORKED VERY WEAK LAST 40 MINUTES DIRE WHEN WORKED MAINLY CONTINENTALS

    G0GFQ
    Noisy again

    G0ICJ
    SD worked very well again. Band very noisy and too many signals splattering due to over driving or too
    much speech compression making signals very wide!

    G0KYS
    The usual struggle to find a frequency but managed to by the last hour so was able to have some fun actually running rather than S&P.  Skip very long in the last half hour

    G0LHZ
    Technical Problems delayed my start!!!!!!

    G0MLY
    Busy busy busy - until sunset and then nothing but long skip.  My first time in this contest. I was warned it would be busy- and it was!

    G0MTN
    No run freq at start, QRM, and a power cut.

    G0OKF
    Usual hard work with my antenna. Super Duper lives up to its name again.

    G0RXA
    First time for a couple of years taking part in this one but enjoyed it mostly. Tough going.

    G0TZZ
    God knows how people get such high scores???

    G0UKN
    V. noisy

    G0VDZ
    Going well till I lost the linear. Changed that lost my freq then lost the other linear. Last hour deadly quiet

    G0VGS
    Very enjoyable contest.  More of the same please :)

    G0VJG
    had great time thanks to rsgb and dartford scouts for loan of their qth

    G0WHO
    Particularly noisy with short skip from all over Europe creating intense interference

    G1BHR
    Logged with SD

    G2AA
    hard work but fun as always seems us contesters were not vy popular.
    At least was not the only one told to QSY !

    G2BKZ
    As usual finding a place to park and stay there was difficult.

    G2DX
    ICOM 7400
    Butternut HF9V Antenna

    G3JJZ
    RIG - IC756 PRO III 100 Watts. ANTENNAS - 85' LW. My worst SSB AFS ever!!!  Unbelievable QRM most of the time. Whenever I found a slot to call in I was elbowed out after a short time. Inter-G skip went all to early. EU stns didn't appear vy strong either.

    G3KIP
    good lively amount of activity.

    G3LDI
    Another complaint about occupancy this time from stations operating

    G3LHJ
    Terrible condx down here in the SW - I just gave up. beter luck next year

    G3LIK
    Too many stations using too much power creating lots of QRM and splatter consider with so many stations working in this contest the power should be restricted to 100W I am not alone in this thinking.
    Great to have SD for logging

    G3LRS
    Great fun used SD logging programme

    G3LUW
    Very noisy throughout. SD WAS GREAT AS USUAL

    G3MXH
    CONDX GOOD TO UK EARLY IN THE CONTEST AND GOOD INTO EUROPE TOWARDS THE END.

    G3NDJ
    Sd is fine to use and condx good

    G3OFA
    Big signals S meter read at least S9 +20 over most of band

    G3OLB
    Last hour was horrible!

    G3PHO
    My poor antenna doesnt lend itself to run operating so I did S&P for much of the contest with
    occasional runs when I could find a clear slot... almost impossible even in a 1.8kHz bandwidth. Predictably the band dropped out for UK in the last hour except for the booming signal of GM3POI!

    G3RXQ
    A very enjoyable contest with less QRM than usual. The last hour was tedious with little inter-G.

    G3SJX
    Lots of activity as usual

    G3SNU
    What a struggle!-sd a joy to use as always

    G3SVD
    Another enjoyable RSGB contest. Condx were much better than I had expected from comments  on the various reflectors certainly until the last hour when the skip went long and all the Gs  disappeared.

    G3SVL
    Great inter-G condx until the last 20 minutes when the band went long skip.

    G3TBK
    Condx great for first 2 hours then dire last hour nearly all continental stations!

    G3TXF
    Funny how the four-hour AFS seems so long compared to those nice and ultra compact ninety-minute 80m CCs! Made almost 100 QSOs less than last year.  Finding and maintaining a clear frequency is vital, but exceedingly difficult to do, especially when inter-UK conditions are poor!

    G3UFY
    RIG - FT1000MP + Ranger 811H. ANTENNAS - Dipole up 34ft

    G3UJE
    Thank you for a most enjoyable contest.

    G3VAO
    Quit after 2 hours - too many WIDE signals in the restricted area of 150kHz

    G3VCA
    1 1/2 hour input only work then called. icom756pro2wave delta loop

    G3VIP
    FT301S + PA 100W - 40M LW - Homebrew logger. Usual wall of noise couldn't find clear freq to call CQ

    G3VPW
    Usual problems, too many people fixed on too few frquencies.

    G3VYI
    Not much space do we need a QSY rule? QSY every 50 QSOs? That would make it fairer for the little guys!

    G3WQK
    Fab contest lots of noise but good fun all the same!

    G3WRR
    The SSB leg of AFS is not my favourite event - particularly with my micro antenna! Skip very long in the last hour....10 of the last 12 QSOs were GMs.

    G3XYF
    Very busy. Why do operators say "Roger" when they mean "Over" ?

    G3YHM
    This was the first contest for over 20 years. It was tough going and some equipment problems. I hope to be back next time.

    G3YOA
    Good contest used SD

    G3YYZ
    Very enjoyable

    G3ZBU
    S&P mode until the end when the band went very quiet!

    G3ZGC
    Rig IC7700 200w to 132 ft wire wrapped into 55 ft garden. Max heighth 40ft. I suffer from a high noise level. Hence mostly Search and Pounce. Conditions were generally ok.

    G3ZRJ
    Sorry couldn't do more but vy qrl with daughter visiting at short notice. Glad to give out a few points

    G4BP
    Pushed off frequency by the high power signals

    G4BUO
    Murphy struck with a 17-hour power cut before the contest, I was all set up to run low power from the generator, then power was restored 45 mins before the start which meant a mad scramble to put everything back onto mains. With 75 minutes of the contest remaining the power failed again so I had to get the generator back out and managed the last hour running 100w.

    G4CLA
    Couldn't get much of a run going with only 100W!

    G4CWH
    signals strong for three hours then faded out suddenly. I'm sure this didn't used to happen when I was a boy. There's not enough room for all of the people on!

    G4CZB
    Still the same very low dipole as for CW AFS pneumatic mast damaged by frost.  Skip lengenthed suddenly for me in the last hour.

    G4DDX
    Very busy and noisy so not easy to find a place to run. The band went out around 1700 but up came the GMs which helped the total. Way down on my CW score.

    G4DFI
    suggest altering the timing of the contest 1300-1700 Because of HA contest conditions became dificult

    G4DQP
    Found it difficult to compete against the high power operators. Overall the contest seemed more frantic
    less consideration to others etc.

    G4FAL
    Sheffield ARC Team A. I was at Bramall Lane supporting Sheffield United for the majority of the contest. Thankfully we beat Middlesbrough 1 - 0

    G4FNL
    Hard going and lots of QRM. I was late arriving at my contest site and couldn't find a good run freq. Once
    running condx seemed OK but I then suffered some deliberate QRM for a while. So a frustrating event for
    me but I hope to be back next year.

    G4GZB
    Enjoyed the mayhem!

    G4HHJ
    I only managed limited operating with interuptions but great fun.

    G4LDL
    First time done this contest. Not too bad. Difficult to find space to run!

    G4LDS
    Had local S9 noise level

    G4LMW
    Only managed 30 or 40 minutes here and there, but fun while it lasted!

    G4RCD
    This contest is hard work for anyone running 100W or less. Very hard to get and hold on to a run frequency so lots of Searchung and Pouncing.....but still good fun if a little frustrating at times!

    G4SJX
    Interesting propagation

    G4VUD
    very odd conditions always shifting around loads of midlands stations having worked dozens in
    a few minutes how do they do it??

    G5KN
    Hard work

    G6UBM
    tnx for points esp GM

    G7SOZ
    As headache inducing as normal :-S

    G7TWC
    OT2X on 3751 gave me jip as I was just below 3750. Lucky to grab this free frequency just after the start of the contest and held it using my barefoot FT100MP. Very please with this result - a personal best in AFS by far.

    G8ALR
    Lots of good flexible operators today. Used SD for logging AFTER the event! SD is not flexible enough for a single operator to use and error correction is difficult.

    G8ATO
    A lot of local QRM.

    GM0ELP
    Elecraft K3 Acom 1000 80m Doublet at 30ft Condx vy poor at start of contest. Got better as time went on. Got very noisy at 17 continental QRM. Thanks to all who worked me.

    GM3POI
    First QSO 1506z due to a power cut Not bad after that. Some HA Qs have area zones listed as per Gen Rules.

    GM3VTY
    as a fairly new gm this contest is hopeless from here. The first two hours are a waste of time from gm
    to have any chance a later start is needed or reduce the contest to the last two hours

    GM3WOJ
    Only able to be QRV for the last 37 minutes of contest = 111 QSOs ! 73

    GM3YEH
    IC751A and a dipole at 25 feet.
    Only managed on for part of the last hour and was surprised at how busy the band still was.

    GM3ZBE
    Horrendous qrm - I don't enjoy phone contests give me CW any day! I went for an hour's siesta at 1502z!

    GM4BRN
    Using new radio bought an hour before contest just about managed to figure it out by the 2 hour mark with 2 non-contest operators -thouroughly enjoyed it. When is the next one ???

    GM4ZUK
    Glad to be on - mains failure 2 hours before contest due to the dreadful weather. Thankfully mains back for 2pm. Very busy contest - hard going throughout.

    GW0ETF
    Heavy family QRM meant a sporadic part-time effort only. From what I heard conditions seemed quite good.

    GW4BLE
    Almost didn't make it - spent most of the morning repairing broken aerial!

    GW4HBK
    Very noisy monster qrm

    M0AAA
    Very hard going. Not as good as the CW leg. Out of band on last QSO have put zero points.

    M0CNP
    Could only spare a short session today as it is our 45th wedding anniversary and prudence seemed the
    better part of valour!

    M0GJH
    Running an Intermediate course until 1700 !

    M0SCG
    A very enjoyable contest

    M0XDF
    Think this was my first AFS - wow!

    M0XDX
    Very busy but enjoyable.

    M0XSM
    Excellent logging programme

    M1ADX
    Hard work initially as I do not have enough attenuation on my rig. Persevered though and enjoyed the GM and MM later in the contest.

    M1PTR
    Spot of aerial trouble at the start so late getting going. Good fun as
    always with mostly inter G until last half hour.

    M3TBK
    Weren't able to start putting aerial up until 2 o'clock so missed the start.  Ant Sloping vee dipole rig FT-100.

    MM0CCC
    Hard going with an antenna that appeared to have the characteristics of a dummy load.  Took an hour off came back on with 15 minutes to go and the propagation appeared to have gone long as could only hear a few DL's.

    MM0GPZ
    400w at Inv V at 38 feet. Struggled to get a clear run frequency at any time. Did find one and was working away nicely when a G3 decided to sit 1 Khz away and was splattering 20 db over 9. Thanks for that.
    Enjoyable but just not able to challenge the well sited stations. See you next time.

    MM0ROV
    Struggled again during the first 2 hours. Gave up half way through but couldn't resist coming back.

    MU0FAL
    Was dissapointed not to hear M3s 2Es trying some CQs

    MW0RZC
    good contest

    PA600MIR
    Using my special call for 600 years city-rights in the City of Purmerend. Other special calls also will be aired this year. For award info see the www.qrz.com/pa600mir website. Did not do a lot of CQ-ing
    which every time brought lots of non-UK stations.
