G0SFJSO LP 160MI also called SQ2HEB, 9A1A and ES4Q, but they could not hear me. I called LY7M and OL4A who heard something but could not copy me. IC728 and wire antenna

G3LIKSO LP ALLVery QSB over whole weekend but enjoyable contest Pleased 28 opened up on Sunday for some good QSO's Had family commitments so could only do part time As one gets older night time is for bed Good to have SD for logging
G3VAOSA LP 160MHad new op in shack and was disgusted by the number of stations who did not respond to QRS reqests - 25wpm plus is no way to attract new commers to the hobby

G4WQISA LP 20MA very enjoyable contest. Had to fit operating times around family activities. Looking forward to next time
G4XEESA LP ALLFirst competition entered and first time used N1MM. WOW
G5NSA QRP 20MPortable operation with KX3 with internal battery (5W), par endfed wire in a sloper configuration on a 12m spiderbeam. Some great ears out there who picked me out, although I am sure RBN helped guide them. I used N1MM+ with the KX3 for the first time which allowed keying with a single USB cable. Used the decoder a bit as my CW is not brilliant (hence assisted cat). Great fun being able to work everybody
G6NSO LP 80MTime too limited for a serious entry so just came on to give away PFX

GM4UYZSA LP 20MJust managed a few QSO's this year due to ther commitments
GS8VLSO HP ALLSporadic E on 10 and 15 helped a lot. Another enjoyable event
GW4BLESO LP ALLjust a few Qs
GX0GHKMSLShame condx wasn't too great, high QRN on 40-160, but some nice DX got in our log. We found a lot of stations are sending unnecessarily fast, and don't reduce their speed, asking for repeats on info can triple the time it takes to complete, than if a stn were to match our speed, a steady-ish 20wpm. Main objective for us was to have fun, which we did. Thanks for all the Q's, and to the contest organisers. 73/GL - Finningley ARS, GX0GHK
HA2MNSO LP 20MShort time was given to take part this year. On the other hand I had a problem with the antenna that was partly detroyed. Many thanks for Q's, see you next time! Rig TS-530SP running 80 W and the ant can be called a long wire laying partly down on the roof
