OH5LID:

BCC 2004 we went to KO67px, that was so interesting place in MWS list. But north corner is quite far away from centre MS activity area. Big tnx RA1TL Victor & his XYL Tatjana to be quest their home during expedition. Main problem we had, not small beer but qrm s3-5, yep there was power plant just 1km from qth... But we did something, indeed nice trip ;)

PE1IKX:

Hello Bavarian Contesters,

This was the first time I entered the BCC contest, in fact this was the first contest I ever entered since my 23 years of amateur activity! It was fun and I worked more stations then ever before in a shower. The long duration of the contest creates nice new insights on the development of the maximum of the Geminids (or at least this year): The build-up to the maximum was gradual and on the start of the contest, Geminids were easily identifiable on the OSWIN webpage. After the maximum, the Geminids decreased very rapidly, resulting in "poor" conditions on the evening of the 14th. The BCC contest is a great intiative and I hope it will promote the use of "cq xxx" during other showers. TNX Guys, see you on the rocks!
73, Marco

EA3DXU:

Very good activity on Geminid shower, also a lot of fun, I run all QSO only in FSK441 CQ ??? random system. Looks like some poeple have the antenna only in N, NE or E direction? I heard several QSO from stations running on same QRG, working R "xyz" or OH stations but I never got their attention Hi. OPs need also a little more patience, a MS random QSO needs some time, the result are many incompleted QSO... This is the list of 17 stations, heard and answered in CQ QRG, but not completed: DF5NK, PE1YSX, DJ7OF, DH6ICE/P, DL1QEW, G0UWK, OK1UND, DK3WG, PA5DA, OK1EN, PD0RFU, DL6CB, DK4YJ, SP6GZZ, PA1FOX, DL3AMI, DL5FDP...
See you next Geminid shower, Josep

ON6NL:

No special plans to participate. Just liked your certificate of 1992 so had to be on the participants list! Conditions were very disappointing around the forecasted maximum.
73 and lots of stones for 2005! Anton

Z35Z:

I go to portable location KN02WC to give chance to other to work a new square. The shower was fine at 11, 12 and 13th but last day condx were not so fine. All time I worked split, no random qso. Best 73 to all, congratulation to the winners, cul next year!
Dime

9A7D:

This was our first time in BCC-MS/WSJT Contest. Sorry, at the beginning we had problems with the procedure, because we used real split (tx 370, rx 365). Some qso may be not complete, because of our inexperience. We heard many impatient stations, disappearing after one call. Excellent contest! Best regards to all !

F8DO:

Mny tnx for fun! Good activity... Best was 14th at evening!
73's and good wishes for 2005 , Marius

EA5ZF:

Very good signals 13 Dec. night, rest of the days some activity, but mostly same peoples bursts. My actual QTH is not so good for VHF activity, we live between mountains, but with power and hard work we can make a few QSO's. Very good backscattered bursts of EA3AXV over a distance of around 300 km. CN8 is a new grid for me, but they are not in contest and no count for points.
73 until next year, I hope to be active the next years with better equipment!
Xavi

G0CUZ:

The shower seemed to peak around 2000z on the 13th, much as predicted but conditions not exceptional. Out side of the peak, reflections were generally rather poor. Runningt his year without my GAASFET pre-amp as QRO FSK session burned it during Persieds!. Tried, without any result on 144.100 HSCW - nothing heard at all. Although I do not have a likeing for FSK, it has created a lot of activity I would suggest for future events that there could be two calling frequencies, so that either 1st or 2nd calling periods couldbe used, there is a big disadvat age to us here in the West, as all DL is on the 2nd period like us, so not much chance of QSOs - DL is still good workable DX from here with many areas >1000KM,
My RIG: FT726R 2 X 3CX400A7 300-600W out, 5 el yagi. + WSJT soft
Thanks to everyone for the QSOs and thanks to the BCC team for their continued support of this Contest.

IW2NEF:

I was pleased to be present for the first time to this contest.
73 de Flavio

LA0BY:

I was listening also for HSCW (hrd and called I1DMP). Unfortunately I had very limited time, and was not at home during the shower maximum. So I did not make many contacts.
73, Stefan

SM5TSP:

Lot's of meteors and good activity made this contest very enjoyable. Most of the stations I heard used the BCC calling method and therefore did never 370 collaps in qrm. Was unfortunately to tired to be awake during the maxima due to qrl, but had a lot of fun and I´m already looking forward to the contest next year.
73, Lars

DJ9YE:

I had so much fog this year. This cause powerline noise up to S9 direction 45deg (OH) and 135 deg (HA/LZ). I hope to get better RX-conds next year!
73, Klaus

DK8ZJ:

Because of a influenca I couldn't take part the whole contest, what a pity, it was funny....
Best 73, hope to see you 2005, Martin
