F6FYASA HIGH 10MThe goal was to have fun on 10 after a so long time with nothing on the band, so I decided to call "cq contest" and wait for answers. I had amazing US pile-up, both days. It was the first time, for sure, I heard stations from 28200 to 29000 ! Argh, it was so good for these, more or less, 6 hours and 30 mn. Thanks to all of you for reports. See you again soon on 10. F6FYA 10x10 # 36 970./

G0HVQSO HIGH 10MWasn't planning to enter until the day, but 10m in such good shape that I decided to give it a go. Haven't heard 10m so good in a contest for a long time, the band full of stations from 28.3 up to 29.1. Highlights were working KH6 long path just after dawn both mornings, getting called by a ZL just after I'd tuned up on a clear freq, and some great pile- ups from the USA and Japan.

G4PIQSA HIGH ALLWork prevented a serious entry from main contest station so spent a few hours on from home. Super to hear conditions like this again K3 + PA. 400W. 80m Dipole @ 20m
G4PKPSO LOW 160MAntenna, or radio has big ears but little voice! Super Duper worked like a champ- unlike operator! SM's always noticable by their absence, unlike the OH's Some massive signals on top band
G4VPDSO LOW 10MNice to see the band so busy and some DX Just wish those HIGH power stations would LISTEN more
G4WGESO LOW ALLWith 700kHz of contest stations on 10M - some of whom I even managed to work - the other bands didn't get much attention. Hopefully there are some new DXCC and WAS bandslots
G5ESO HIGH 10MGreat to hear 10 wide open, it's been many years!
G5WMULTI-ONELast minute effort, with a single rig, but two operators. We had fun but missed the ability to chase mults on a second band

GM0EGIMULTI-ONEten metres what a blast !!!!!!!!!!! 39 zones and 131 dxcc
GM2TMULTI-TWOAnother great contest and we managed to finish ahead of 2010 entry. No major technical problems... Introduced three new people to contesting MM0VPR MM6INS MM6KLZ of which they did extremely well once they got over the "mike shyness". They were certainly buzzing after the contest. I think we converted them.. To us as a group it is as important as the contest itself... the encouragement Note: AA4V/VP9 was calling this way then later as VP9/AA4V
GM4HQFSO QRP ALLCondx were good but quite tough for QRP I used SD by EI5DI for logging
GM4UBJSO LOW 160MConditions did not favour my low power entry on top ban d this year.Few stations from across the pond where hea rd this time round. I guess many where having fun on 10 m..and why not! Big thanks goes to the xyl who put up with repeats of UNITED BOSTON JAPAN UNITED BOSTON JAPAN
