G5DMULTI-ONEAnother great contest ! Fantastic conditions on 10 metres. Thank you. The G5D Tall Trees Team. PS. 27-10 at 1249 - NP2MR/4 gave us '08' instead of '05'. Think it's his ITU Zone! 27-10 at 1321 - KB2OZH gave us '215' (which wouldn't fit) instead of '05'. Presumably it's a s/n
G5WMULTI-ONEFantastic conditions, but antennas relatively low, because of a forecast "storm of the century". In the event, hardly a breeze. Very frustrating ! Some appalling signales here in Europe - I asked one station if he could please not use 20 kHz of the band. He did something which resulted in a "normal" signal, but 20 minutes later was again taking 7% of the band ! This is an intentional "keep off the grass" and needs action from the organisers
G7NSO HIGH 40MI FIND IT DIFFICULT TO THE FAR EAST Sorry the frequency read out seems to fail at times. Dupes with DR1A and NN3W
G7NIBSO LOW ALLActual TX Power: 80
G8ZRESO LOW ALLSearch & pounce enjoyable contest as usual
G9VMULTI-ONEHad problems with the HF yagi but a 10m monobander saved the day. We suffered on 15m and 20m. Kept an eye on the weather forecast for the storm which never came. Good fun was had by all. See you next time
GI4SJQSA LOW 10MWhat a contest. My second year of 10m single band but this year with an Elecraft K3. What a difference a radio can make. Nearly doubled my score over last year and my first time EVER of working over 1000 Q's. Superb conditions and the band was in great shape. Roll on CQWW CW
GJ3YHUSO QRP 10MGreat conditions but almost impossible to work nearby EU multipliers 5W to dipole not enough for back-scatter
GM0BMULTI-MULTIThe last CQWW we did M/M was in 2010 we had about 130 QSO's on 10m. This year on 10m we worked 130 DXC and nearly 2200 QSO's. As normal, the inquest starts straight after the contest finishes and we are discussing what we did wrong and what we can do to make it better next year. What kit, antenna, gadget can we get to make it easier!!! Can't wait for next year already but CQWW CW first. 73 and thanks for a great contest. Gordon MM0GPZ
GM2TMULTI-TWOGreat contest once again: Nice to see the high bands in great shape: Managed to introduce some new Foundation Licence holders to contesting, they all said they had a ball and learnt lots of things. Fingers crossed we have given them the "bug" No technical issues apart from loosing our 15M aerial and mast to an extreme high winded squal. Tore the bottom out of the rotator, mast bent and smashed up the antenna
GM2VSO HIGH ALLFantastic conditions - great contest - 73 !
GM4UBJSO QRP ALLConditions on 10m were fanatastic ! even with my feable 5watts, it seemed all to be long haul stuff with no short skip, 15m was just as good and open till the end of the contest. Just for a change the usual storm force winds hit the south of the UK and missed GM closing down many of the more prominent G`s hopefully they were all prepared. Thanks to all who worked me see you next year... Bill
GM6NXMULTI-MULTICongratulations team, fantastic effort, best year ever Mic monsters take a bow :-D
GM7TUDSO LOW 10MKenwood 590 100watts 4 Element Mono bander, hard going at times but fun
GW0GEISA HIGH 15MA part time daytime effort due to lack of time to prepare antennas prior to the contest. Decided to do 15m high power with just a 40m 1/4 vertical in the tree. Late on the band first day and difficult to find a run spot plus when I found a frequency it was unproductive. Some good dx around but never really had runs to the usa. Sunday was betting in the afternoon to europe when I managed some runs, and then s and p again in evening for usa and south america etc. Took quite a few breaks for meals but still managed to break my target of 500 qsos and 100 countries with 30 zones worked. A few zone and country mults heard but not worked, which is to be expected with just a vertical. Good practice but I still prefer the cw leg
