[UK-CONTEST] Jamming

[Cooper, Stewart]

History repeats itself. PA4DX made my AFS SSB contest a miserable affair
last year, (and he continued afterwards to swear at me by e-mail too). The
SSTV guys really need to put their house in order. I moved then and he
followed me. I didn't hear him this year, but did stop to listen to the
funfair around 3732.
Anyway, this year was a bit more relaxed. I was busy so I only did 1hr
20mins in three stints and worked just under a hundred (96 I think), which
was fine. I had to repeat the serial number at least 3 times to all but very
few callers. I love it up here in the land of the S1 noise level. Strangely,
compared to the CW event, I found that signals were louder on the vertical
this weekend compared to the dipole. What's going on!?
>From memory, loudest sigs in the early afternoon were from G3NLY and G3SJJ.
There is a layer of signals which I can just never penetrate on SSB, which I
guess I could pull out on CW. I wonder if there were many who called me and
didn't get heard in spite of the quieter noise level.

Hi All, 

In reply to G4FON's message...I was deliberatly jammed by SSTV signals and a
DL who tried to tell me that 3730 - 3740 is not for SSB!.    He then
proceeded to jam me for over an hour which invariably left me missing out on
some weak callers, I did QSY after a time only to have him follow me.   I
didnt have any QRM from music, but after the contest heard a well known
contestor doing a bit of bad mouthing which really isnt on.   This is only a
hobby lets not forget that chaps. 

Just incase any of the SSTV gang read this here is the IARU Region 1 band
plan for 80mtrs.
