Soapbox

CT9/PF5X
Conditions were probably better than the activity suggests. Many people were "working" DX in FT8 or were working outside the contest. You made an epic mistake in the past by adopting the IARU R1 VHF scoring & exchange system (RST + 6 digit locator + prob. UKSMG membership nr.). The old scoring + exchange made (4 digit locator + prob. member #) this contest stand out in simplicity and effectiveness. Please reconsider and revert to the initial format. Eskip is very different from tropo !!!
DG1EAD
unfortunately bad conditions on Saturday.
DL2OM
Very spotty. Signals were focussed on limited areas like Ireland and Sardinia. Because of the LZ-VHF contest some activity from Bulgaria, while elswhere outside UK only a few people have been aware of the UKSMG contest. KP4EIT was a lonely rider. So, the propagation was a mixture of tropo, MS and Es.
EA4WF
Good sporadic conditions
EA5IWZ
Slow start on Saturday but condx gradually improved. ODX was D44OE. Sunday was a disaster with only 13 contacts in the log. Looking forward to the IARU 6m contest.
EA7Q
There were variable conditions with good openings to England and France
G4ANT
Some nice E's around Saturday with working 5B4 D44 and KP4, Sundy was very dire hardly any activity! lots of station on but say not in contest :-(
G4BUE
Few stations heard with the poor antenna.
G4LPP
Very mixed
G4TSW
Massive QSB at times, thanks for the patience!
GQ4NBS
Usual lack of E's for this contest despite 2 good days prior - Nice to catch a couple of KP4 and 5B4 plus 4X on otherwise very quiet weekend. Intriguing the Italians weren't interested in giving serial numbers - thought every w/e was a contest for them!! Unable to include membership numbers in EDI file?? so hence using Cabrillo.
GQ8ZRE/70
Good contest, Hard to score
GW9J
Quiet start in the first hour but some nice sp es later on. Took a break for tea and then did another hour. Decided not to operate on the Sunday as conditions fairly quiet and had family visiting so 6 hr section entry
HA7AJ
Good
HF5WIM
Poor conditions with some pings. Only 1 QSO, however M1L received my call and vanished. See you on IARU 6M in two weeks
M1L
Only short bursts of sporadic, missed a few DX ones including KP4EIT and A92HK
OH5ZA
One QSO like last year: great pile-up! KN43 wkd instead of KN34, so a few points more! Cheers/73, Zaba OH1ZAA
OZ7BQ/P
Conditions appeared to be poor. Had only little time to participate, but heard only a few stations. DL2OM, MQ0T, 9H1PI weak and for a short time on saturday. I was operating portable from Bornholm Island EU-030.
