Ropoco 2 Contest, 2007
This event enjoyed about the same level of support as the corresponding
2006 contest, but with a surprisingly different list of entrants.
As usual there were a number of regulars who were active but did not
submit logs - which is a pity.
For some reason, accuracy is always more of a problem in RoPoCo2 than
in the April event. This year things were worse than usual, with
mis-copied callsigns and several 'three-handed' QSOs - commonplace in
hell-for-leather events like the 80M CCs, but hitherto unheard of in
RoPoCo. Loss of 10% of claimed score was not uncommon, with some
stations faring even less well!
In fourth place (equal with G0MTN and GW3SQX) was Mick Puttick,
G3LIK. However, his 600-point log was the best of only four which
were free of errors, and secured for him the G3XTJ Memorial Trophy for
the second year running.
In first place, Fraser Robertson, G4BJM, added 670 points to his score
from RoPoCo1 to give an aggregate of 1350 from both this year’s
events, and take the G5MY Trophy by a safe margin.
Commiserations, then, as well as congratulations, go to double
runner-up John Muzyka, G4RCG, who amassed a creditable aggregate score
of 1210, and whose 640-point log contained only a single
wrongly-received character!
Brian Gale, G3UJE, improved substantially upon his April effort to take third place

G4BJM
Good conditions and activity. Worked everone I heard
G4RCG
There was a bit more activity this time. Got my highest number of
contacts ever. Band was nice and quiet all the way thru.
Really enjoyed it this time.
G3LIK
Thought it was slow going. Some really funny postcodes appeared -
do people change them on purpose? Lots of familiar calls to be
heard.
G0MTN
Station worked fine for 12 hours yesterday in EUHFC test. Then
today RF repeatedly killed Microham router, leaving me without PC
keying. Manual keying still worked but without a dot-dash memory.
Result: Garbage CW sent. Apologies to lots and lots of
people. Pity really - activity seemed higher than normal with a
few new callsigns checking in. 15 minutes after the contest, lots
of new ferrites fitted to all cables and keying now seems more
robust. With the PC reboots and logging on paper I must have
busted a lot of codes ... Maybe next time ...
GW3SQX
Always interesting, but not enough participants -- lunchtime would be
better. And what happened to the plans for an SSB version of
RoPoCo? Still, a good test of copying -- perhaps participants
ought to be steered towards WAE for a grown-up accuracy contest.
G4ARI
As expected, great fun!
M0DHO
Some bizarre postcodes. Surprised to get mine back intact.
Pity there were not more participants. My first RoPoCo and
enjoyed it very much.
G3ZRJ
Not quite so many howlers in the postcodes this time. As always, most enjoyable contest - thanks.
G3ZGC
Quite a noisy location here but conditions seemed OK. For a change, 100% happy with the codes received.
GM3POI
A move to an evening slot would be better. The sun had been up for four hours by the start time.
G4FAL
Great contest this RoP0co. Wilr impr03 mq tkpi9n ann kr. Agn pse?
G4FNL
Activity was quite low. I worked all I heard. Thanks to all for the QSOs.
G3KNU
Wierdest set of codes I have ever encountered. I might be responsible for some of them!
G2AFV
Band very noisy 2nd hour.
G4OGB
Condx variable, but at least quiet.
M0AJT
Once again enjoyed the contest. In my opinion a good time to have
it, contest over and still time to enjoy the day with family.
More activity would improve matters greatly.
G3JKY
Enjoyed the contest, despite no rules being published nowadays!
GW0ETF
Ran out of stations to work in the second hour. Would be
fascinating to be able to track the progression of one's own postcode
through the course of the contest.
G4XPE
Conditions good.
G3HEJ
A nice contest. Plenty of stations and reasonable speeds for beginners or 'less able' CW ops. Thanks to all.
G4CKH
My first RoPoCo - very enjoyable - several barren patches during event
but will put that down to limited number of entrants - will earmark
dates for next year.
G3IZD
Band noise went from S4 to S9 in first hour. Some exotic postcodes - how does the Post Office ever deliver !!!
G3VIP
Good at start, band quiet, QSB towards end.
G3RFH
After my first 4 QSOs I discovered the log was only recording the first
3 digits of a postcode so I hastily created a new log and all was
well. I lost about 10 minutes on that. Otherwise I thought
there seemed to be fewer stations on and conditions were about average.
G3JRM
Here we are again for the second round of RoPoCo. Most of the
usual big guns but did not hear many casual participants, plus changing
conditions over the two hours had me struggling "again", hi hi.
G0ADH
Seemed a bit quiet here - but still quite fun.
G3HKO
I always enjoy this one. Plenty QRM but no DLs heard until after the contest finished.
G3VQO
Was late on parade (had stayed up to watch Perseids), so only managed
the last forty-five minutes. Some well-mangled postcodes by the
time I arrived. All good fun - we just need more activity.
G4FCH
Band condx good, but local QRM.
M0NZA
Very enjoyable contest - strange how the obviously comic postcode
seemed to survive error-free for so long. Anyway, a great contest
and thanks for the QSOs.
G0IBN
Raining + QRN. Only managed 50W into end-fed ... on holiday!
M0ECW
Conditions seemed to be down on normal.
G3GLL
Could only stay for half an hour, unfortunately. A few garbled
ones even in those few minutes. Perhaps some of these contest
loggers have their own built-in scramblers !
2E0KOP
Good fun, in a tortuous way!
G4AIU
Is it me, or are there some wierd postcodes out there? A very enjoyable contest - keep it up!
G4ZGP
Came to the contest late.
