[UK-CONTEST] 80M CC DATA

[QUENTIN COLLIER]

A similar tale of woe from here in darkest South London.....in addition to the evident difficulties with conditions, I was afflicted by an S9+10dB noise level (somebody's plasma TV I think) and this meant it was REALLY hard going! I had hoped that the digital modes would be less susceptible than CW to local barff, but sadly not. However I worked everything I could print (all five of them) - all RTTY: didn't even try PSK. All part of life's rich pagenantry and at least I can probably claim to bve the first station to have submitted my log, thirteen minutes before the end....

73,

Ian,

I recall you were one of the few 'straightforward' exchanges but many, many more were a real struggle/impossible. My first Data for a couple of years and more an exercise in seeing how the K3 performed; a measly 24 contacts, all RTTY.....didn't think PSK31 would be much better given the degree of extraneous phase shifting that seemed to be going on!

Hi All .

I too, would like to add my apologies. I seemed to spend most of the contest
calling people who couldn't copy me or conversely being called by others
that I couldn't decipher either! Data is not my favourite mode by any
stretch of the imagination.  It forces me to learn new stuff though.!

Hello all,

Apologies to those who called me and I could not receive you. I have tried
using Wintest and MMTTY tonight for the first time in a contest and found it
is not as good as MixW on weak signals. 

Only 14 QSO's but there were many more who called me. Maybe next month I
will have it sussed as there is the BARTG RTTY sprint coming up. See you all
in the phone contest in a week or 2s time.
