Checklogs

Check logs are gratefully acknowledged from M1ABK.

Soapbox

DK6OC

Unfortunately, only a few SSB stations were on the air, and conditions were poor.

DL2OM

Just one Es-opening on Saturday lasting about 2 h towards the Iberian peninsula the next day only a few stations via MS and tropo. Unfortunately this contest is still not very much kwown within the European 6-m-community and often met with apathy. Thus many potentially possible tropo contacts were not going to happen.

G0CDA

Switched on Saturday to find contest on so put can entry in and worked some E's,only 1 qso Sunday on for 15 mins.

G0DDZ

Band was up and down. Answered a CT3 CQ, but he didn't hear me

G0RMG

Poor short opening on Saturday & Rained all weekend.

G4ANT/P

Dire conditions throughout contest a few E's Saturday but they soon died off, Sunday nothing happened, not even the usual Sunday morning G's in the log. This probably one of the worst condition contest for a long time. UKSMG really need to push this conte st to get more activity!

GM8IEM

Very poor and unstable

M1ABK

Generally poor sadly, some Sproadic E on Saturday, it was good to work a few members ! - 73 Chris

M1L

Low activity, little sporadic

M1ABK

Variable but some good E's on Sunday morning !

M1L

Slow going

SO7NA
