Comments:
 
G4KLF:  Conditions were good for the contest but us Naval types were shoved into a narrow strip to work each other on most bands because of the LZ contest being overwhelming. Used a 3.5 dipole up 18 feet for all the bands and seemed to get out quite well, it was hearing the station that you were trying to work that proved difficult.
 
DL6LH:  Unfortunately I could not operate all the time, during the second day I was busy as operator on board the Cap San Diego, never the less I had great fun on the bands.
 
MM0CJF:  Saturday I got excessive TVI with my neighbour, it was agreed that he would leave his house for the whole day so that I could be on the radio but he had a visitor from across the pond whose sole purpose was to watch TV. I went out in the car to the nearest quarry and hooked up to one of the fences which acts as an antenna, so apology to those who worked me as it is difficult to work the key crammed in the boot of a car. It was worth it and I enjoyed the experience.
 
G3ZNR:  Devoted more time to the contest but had less multipliers than last year, so it was very frustrating to hear the very weak signals of VK4BUI, HZ1PS, N4XAT, and CT7/G0PSE on 14mhz.
 
G0DID:  Over the past few years I have thought my low score was not worth the effort, however I do so enjoy the event and having read other peoples comments I decided I should at least make an effort.  (Anna will be 85 this year, so she is doing well.)
 
DL0MOS:  I was the Operator on the Station. I hope it is not so bad, because it is my first time at the RNARS-CW  (Great to see you Mary)
 
RN1NW:  Unfortunately, I had no possibility for full time participation.
 
SM6NW:  Have not been able to participate in the Activity Contest for a couple of years due to local QRM. Now I used a friend´s radio-QTH and had a good time.
 
OE6NFK:  I used the FT-817 (5 watts) with MP-1 mobile antenna mounted outside the windowsill (direction only from northwest via north to northeast). I “only” heard DL0MFH, OE4PWW, OE6XMF, OE1WED, DL0MOS, GB4RN and many INORC-stations.  The conditions were fine Sunday morning. I enjoyed the event, operating QRP again.
 
HB9BQR:  Another contest is over. I enjoyed it again. But another event was held, causing strong QRM. And fewer participating naval station (as is seems to me). Few activity on 20 meters and for me, G and I with very weak signals. The 3-5 and 7 MHz bands were very crowded with other strong contesters.
 
G3YAJ:  Saturday: family commitments then just got started Sunday then a visitor .
 
GW0VSW:  I heard 'GB4RN' on 80m for a short time but with QRM from the other contest only 449 at best! There was only one other UK RN station copied and he was also from Wales but very weak here.
 
PA3EBA:  Conditions were bad again and DX not possible for me. And what about the other contest running at the same time (LZ contest as an example)  Contest participants using very high power. No fun at all. But nevertheless it was good to meet old friends again and knowing that they are still active. You will hear me again next year.
 
HZ1PS:  Thanks to RNARS for the contest and to all for the contacts. Conditions not as good as I had hoped for this one – bands were very noisy here and only quick openings with deep QSB. Missed GB4RN, not the usual signal and just simply disappeared into the noise. I missed one or two of the U.S. members, whom I heard with good signals, but was not able to work them. Lots of QRM from the LZ contest added to the frustrations.
 
G4PRL:  Thanks for the extra points via GB4RN, it was great to work on three bands. As always the Italians were very busy, but I was pleased to note more RNARS activity, especially with Tom G0PSE from CT7 and Les VK4BUI. Great fun.
 
UA3VVB:  Nice to participate this Naval Contest. Warm words and 73 to all
 
G3RFH:  Slightly less contacts than last year but not many RNARS members on. Nothing on 15M or 10M yet other contest stations in EU were heard on 15M.
 
GM4GIF:  Very noisy up here with the driving rain and the antenna waving about furiously but it stayed up OK. There seemed to be a couple of other CW contests going on at the same time as ours.
 
GB4RN:  I had aerial problems on 20m with the wind blowing so missed a lot of stations that I could hear. There were 17 different multipliers that counted this year, they were CT7, DL, G, GB4, GM, GW, HB9, HZ, OK, PA, RN, SM, VE3, VK4, W2, W4, 9H. The Multiplier is where a RNARS station is signing with his RN number, so stations with IN, MF, CA etc do not count towards the multiplier, hope this clarifies for some people who could not fathom this out. Hope to see more in the 2010 event.
