Suffered from a bit of wind.

Wild wet and windy with less activity and DX than expected for this time of year. Too windy to wind mast to full height. Plagued with power line noise. Good selection of beer at the local pub.

My first contest - can't wait to try another one. Will be better prepared next time!!!

Wet and very windy in IO83. Some DX to compensate. Southern stations had better conditions, hence higher scores. Reduced antenna height halfway through due to wind. Main entry in Backpackers.

PI4Z often the best signal on the band, but didn't work them. Good UK activity. Wished I'd operated /p rather than from the terrible valley VHF location at home...Poor to the East, dire to everywhere else! Congratulations LIP, you were well ahead of everyone else

A good test for the SDR1000. Very happy. This was the only few hours I could spare over the weekend but good fun.

Poor conditions to East, but OK to South and nice to make 7 QSOs > 1000 km. Only just QRV in time - lots of hard work to build the station. SP9FOW/MM gave QTH as Amsterdam (after calling as just SP9FOW!!)

Flat. Flat as y'r 'at.

Not as good as last year

Relaxed enjoyable morning of contesting. For the 1st time from this location good opening's to Europe. Poor Weather, had to lower antennas due to winds

Very windy with dangerous gusts. Nearly lost a mast and tent damaged. Activity low, lack of operators, hard work

Suffered from new source QRN for all contest in main se beam path. Some good conditions in south F and north EA and also good to HB9/DL. Quite a struggle with QRN and single op had 5 hr break overnight. 2 x 18y spaced incorrect, issue!, due to wind had to get them up quick

Winds were gusting too strongly to raise the mast on Saturday and a bit strong early Sunday so I had to content myself with the last six hours. Conditions a little above average at times but deep QSB.

Good propagation to the South-East, not so good to the East. As in previous years, this was a fine opportunity to work some nice DX. Unfortunately a rotator problem brought operation to a premature end.

Our first time bands buzzing but died Sunday PM. Weather wet and very windy both Linears blew up!

Back packers section seemed more active

Conditions about normal

4*9 elements tonna initially. After 0700local on Sunday single 9ele due to water in coax.

Poor conditions and limited DX

Some decent DX on Saturday evening had to watch for tvi with the football being on though !!!

Good fun. Conditions seemed reasonably flat, but plenty of European stations to be heard.

Reasonable tropo conditions despite high winds.

Good to South, Poor to East

Lost mains power approx 15 mins before contest start. Big run around. Eventually got on air but in rush had further problems-rx 50-60dB low. no second array until power back on (10:30 Sunday morning). Left limping most of contest, but fun playing catch-up on Sunday! High winds near start of contest resulted in lowering 2x18ele 5w/l & luffing eventually replaced by 2x12 ele BUT still could not use until power restored. First time - as I recall - that we've had to use a generator from a fixed location. More is the pity we were not expecting the power cut and so unable to cope properly. FINAL INSULT WAS LOSING LOG ON POORLY COMPUTER!!

Miserable weather and conditions but fun none the less!!

Very high winds caused problems with antenna directions. Not able to move much away from the direction of the wind for fear of losing the mast. Conditions remarkably good. Fine weather during set up and packing up made life a lot easier than it might have been.

High winds throughout the event - consistent force 7 gusting 9 hampered station build and break down at end. Main antenna system had high VSWR (>2:1) and performed poorly, in addition it spent a considerable time acting as a weather vane and facing north-east, as a consequence the majority of QSOs we worked on the single antenna. Conditions were considered flat to poor with lower than expected activity.

Rain and wind not much DX. Main entry in Backpackers.

Very disappointing conditions from GM this year. Never heard a DL all weekend. Activity was also down on the norm for the contest. Did Saturday's international football matches really have this much impact on this? Sunday did see a slight improvement of both conditions and activity but still nothing like previous year. There's always next year!

Hard going with 2 operators, amplifier problems.

Just a token 2 hour entry from the home station after having to abort my backpacker attempt. I arrived at the summit in good time and started assembling the station when I suddenly hit a snag - no clamp for the antenna! It was back at home so I had no choice but to pack up and trudge back home :-(

High winds, heavy rain, axle came of trailer mast en-route to site, broke 2 rotators. All good fun! Conditions were fairly flat but got some reasonable DX

Very wet and windy

This is probably a contest to forget. We had intended to do 24 hrs but the gales never let up. Visibility 10 metres and after 2 hrs conditions died. Genny failed, aerials broke. We caved in and just did 6 hrs. Brilliant sunshine after contest!

Very Windy!

Weather terrible! Horizontal rain & gale blowing. Power line noise S7. Hard work generally poor conditions although some DX. Just glad antennas stayed up & tent didn't blow away. I think we were all pleased when it was over.

High winds and driving rain. Conditions fair to poor. Pre-amp failed before start! Otherwise a fun contest:-)
