F6BNHSA HIGH ALLAntenne available only on 10 and 15. very pleased to give some points especially on 10m where i can work 2 US station and 1 VE. Propagation on 10 was good between nothern countries and GBR. Well it was not a good one but not the worst. Best 73's and if god give life see you in 2021 I will be active on every band for more fun 73's from Bernard

G0TSMSA HIGH 15MFTDX5000/VL1000/Hexbeam at 17M
G0UKZSO LOW ALLBusy! Sd worked brilliNTLY Wish tthe contest could be limited to 100 watts
G2WSO HIGH 40MNot my favourite mode -Shout Shout Bawl (SSB) - now with sore throat. Thought I would try and give away some points. Very little here, QRM limited with just of wall of EU stations running the 'full legal limit' with over modulated wide signals. Many EU stations calling DX above 7200kHz .... is this allowed ??
G3IZDSO LOW ALLQUITE SLOW INITIALLY BUT BANDS VERY FULL WHEN OPEN CONDITIONS PREVENTED THE COPYING OF ANY UK STATIONS ON THE HIGHER BANDS OTHER THAN MU
G3LSO LOW 15MBetter Condx's on Sunday than Saturday but enjoyed the time I could put to the Contest, SSB not my mode hi looking forward to CW in Nov, 73 de Derrick G3LHJ
G3QSA HIGH ALLGood conditions on all bands. Due to forecast high winds I left the HexBeam @ 20ft. Rather too many stations with badly adjusted equipment. Managed to get control of SO2R, rather than v.v.. Overall great fun
G3RTUChecklogConditions were very poor, tried my best, 73's
G3TKFSA LOW ALLNot a serious entry - trying out the antenna. (Very low wire doublet)
G3TTCSO HIGH ALLFirst time in this contest, just for fun
G3VPWSA HIGH ALLGood to try an all-band Phone entry for once. Thoroughly enjoyed an assisted mainly S&P effort. Operated for just under 24 hours. Generally poor conditions but better than over the last few months. No OC and very little SA on any band but very happy with contacts just using a single multiband vertical antenna + 400w
G3VYISO LOW ALLOnly part time but good condx on Sunday..but great fun thanks.73 Mike G3VYI
G3YRZSO LOW 20MNice level of activity on 20m but I do need a better antenna than my indoor dipole!
G3ZGCSO HIGH ALLA brief entry to see what DX I could work
G4ADJSO LOW ALLConditions still down due to solar cycle. Lost several hours due to antenna feeder problems but still had great fun!
G4BUOSO HIGH ALLFirst major contest entry from new QTH. Wire antennas only, which made for a struggle on 40 and 20m particularly. Entered the Classic section and didn't realise how much better conditions would be on Sunday, when QSO rates were much higher and I was finally able to ran out of time. Great to work so many friends
G4DDLSO LOW ALLConditions poor at the start but then 15m and 10m opened up. Not much DX worked but had lots of fun!
G4ENZChecklogGood SpE round Europe on 10m. Nice to give a few points away
G4IIYSA HIGH 20MPart-time entry, fitted around domestic stuff. Short skip condx meant lots
G4IUFSA HIGH ALLBetter conditions, sign of things to come
G4LSO HIGH 80M80m very noisy all the time. Big EU stations made finding a run spot quite difficult! Good fun though
G4NSO LOW 40MTrying out the new contest call, only able to operate for a few hours each day
G4NBSSO LOW ALLK3, 22M LONG DOUBLET @ 7M, TB31 DIPOLE @ 9M NICE TO SEE 10M AND 15M ALIVE, NOT SO GOOD ON 40M THOUGH
G4OTUSO LOW ALLNice to hear 10 and 15 wide open
G4OZGSO LOW ALLIcom IC706Mk2G Homebrew 80/40 Trap dipole at 25 feet Homebrew 20M vertical with elevated radials at 8 feet works on 15M and 10M with ATU
G4PDFSA LOW ALLWith a simple wire antenna it's hard to hear and work stns in NA with stronger European stations overlapping the QRG - Contest power limits alone do not define how much difficulty there is in obtaining an exchange maybe a move to estimated IERP would be a fairer system to determine how 'well' a station performed with others using similar IERP levels
G4WPDSO HIGH 40MNice to do 24hr section.Most welcome. Had 40khz of band wiped out by QRN from domestic? digital equipment transmission. Operating standards good. Would like to see big contest station QSY after 20minutes rather than 'own' the frequency. 73 de G4WPD
G4WWGSO HIGH 20MComputer failure on day 25-10-20 resulted in using paper log (hence more dupes)
G4YSO QRP ALLConditions brilliant on all bands except 160m. IR4X IR4K IR4M well over 1500w. Built two new antennas for contest best result ever 73 all
G5OSA HIGH ALL40m dipole at 22m. Ft100MP + VL1000
G6ADSA HIGH ALLHTTP://WWW.HINCKLEYARES.CO.UK/
G7CYXSO LOW ALLhope i have got all this correct. First time entry after 26 years of qrt
G7RQDSA LOW ALLIn normal years the Worthing Radio Events Group make one entry under the callsign M0REG. We are an affiliated club to the RSGB and this year we have entered CQWW under our own callsigns so that we can still take part from our own shacks and keep safe
G7RTISO LOW ALLFirst SSB entry in years - small effort Used the SD Logger by EI5DI - easy to use
G8FMCSO HIGH ALLJust a check log really. a bit of a dabble just on Sunday for a few hours. Nice to see 15m & 10m open. Shame I have no proper antennas for those bands at the moment. Other wires pressed into use for a few contacts, just to see if I was getting out (at very low efficiency!)
G8GHDSO LOW ALLAS USUAL TRIED TO CORRECT A COUPLE OF QSOs DUE TO MY CALL SEEMING TO BE INCORRECT. BUT NOT ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGE BUT HAVE INCLUDED THOSE QSOs IN CASE I WAS WRONG
G8NVXSO LOW ALLGreat weekend on the radio and everyone was in a happy mood, nice one.... Thanks all for the points
G8ZRESO LOW ALLGood contest search n pounce not much DX Good activity on 10/15 metres Sunday best day
GM0VSA HIGH ALLHad a great contest conditions were good
GM4UYZSA LOW 20MNormally out with the GM2T team but due to Coronavirus restrictions we were unable to activate the callsign. A few of the ops including myself decided to just have a dabble from home
