Comments to the „Maritime Radio Day“ 2016
Hallo Rolf,
MRD hat Spaß gemacht, obwohl die condx schlecht waren /QRN und teilweise tiefes QSB.
***
Die Condx waren sehr wechselhaft und mit meiner Drahtantenne ist auf den höheren Bändern für mich nichts zu holen (2 QSO’s auf 20). Ich habe Dich nur einmal sehr sehr leise gehört und nicht angerufen. Die Entfernung und Tageszeit zwischen uns war wohl nicht optimal für QSO auf 40.
***
Der MRD hat wieder sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Man trifft alte Freunde und es ist immer Zeit auch für ein paar persönliche Anmerkungen.
***
Lieber Rolf, vielen Dank für die Organisation des MRD und beste Grüße aus Sankt Augustin AWDH de Volker, DJ9BM
***
THIS IS NOT MY FIRST PARTICIPATION, I HAVE PARTICIPATE 2 OR 3 TIMES AT THE FIRST STEPS OF THIS EVENT.
ANYWAY THIS TIME WAS AMASING, AND AS GOD KEEP US IN GOOD HEALTH, I TELL YOU SEE U NEXT YEAR. BEST 73 ES ΚΛΤ (‘KLT’ ΚΑΛΗ ΤΥΧΗ) MEANS GL. ALSO MEANS GOOD VOYAGE (ΚΑΛΟ ΤΑΞΙΔΙ) VERY COMMON WISH FROM SVA TO SHIP TRAVELLERS. MANOS SV1ME/ATHINAIRADIO/SVA.

Hat mal wieder Spaß gemacht. Dann bis zum nächsten MRD es FB WE.

Die Bedingungen waren äußerst schlecht, ich habe einige Stationen ohne Erfolg gerufen, von Übersee sogar keine gehört. Besten Dank an alle die beim Ereignis mitgeholfen haben!

Dear Rolf, Pls find attached my MRD-log. It was a pleasure to take part in this event. Well organised by you. I had 126 qsos including some dupes. It was a pity that 15 and 10m bands were completely dead here. I have one suggestion. Since most radio officers and coast stations also worked telephony would it be nice to allow ssb qsos too? We can have more personal contacts by voice. For instance cw on the even hours and ssb the odd hours. What is your idea about this? 73 Ad

Hello Rolf, Thanks for another fun MRD event. GB0GLD was run from the home station of G3XRJ and was staffed by G3XRJ G3WMX and G3RID 73 John G3XRJ
***
Hopefully there will be more qso next year.

Thank you for organising this event and I wish you Good Health and all the best for the coming year.

Hallo OM Rolf, hat mir großen Spaß gemacht mal wieder etwas aktiver auf den Bändern zu sein und das alte “Feeling” wieder aufleben zu lassen. Dummerweise mußte ich nebenher meinem Landjob nachgehen. tks fer ufb mrd, 73 55 de DL1BJO, Robert

This was my first year participating in the MRD and, although the propagation was not the best, I did enjoy the hunt and am looking forward to next year’s event. My thanks to all who contributed to putting it together.
Thanks again and best 73’s,

Due to narrow band limits, pile-up was tremendous and only powerful stations could get through.
Nonetheless fun and pleasure in hearing so many fists was high.

Hat wieder viel Spass gemacht, vielen Dank für die Organisation an alle beteiligten OM’s. Condx waren leider nur mäßig, nur eine Station aus Übersee erreicht (K1VV auf 20mtrs). Bin kommendes Jahr mit Sicherheit wieder dabei. vy73, schönes Wochenende und cw fe Bernd/DL6MKA

Hi Rolf
I have pleasure in attaching my log for the 2016 MRD in Cabrillo Format. Hope all is OK.I participated as a ‘Friend’ and really enjoyed taking part. My CW mentor was an ex-RO working for many years on a Cable and Wireless Cable Ship. Sadly he is now ‘silent key’.
Thanks very much for organising such an enjoyable event.
Cheers and 73

Hello Rolf,
I believe this MRD event has been very much enjoyed by all participants, especially by me. We have all enjoyed meeting together and remembering the work of the Radio Officers and Technicians associated with the Maritime industry and meeting also fellow hams that joined us during the two days on the air. We are all again in high praise and admiration for your time and efforts in making this event so pleasurable, so well done to you and the MRD team. I have attached my log for MRD 2016, now completed and checked for your approval. I was contacted by a few Radio Amateurs/Friends of MRD that seemed to also enjoy working the various operators of MRD and said that they also are looking forward to the next event in 2017.
So Rolf, I hope the year has been kind to you and that your health is in good form. Best wishes from me and hope to find you on the bands again soon. 73

from QTH Oulu/Finland.

Hello Rolf!
Please see attached, my MRD log. Unfortunately conditions were poor this year. Only a small window of opportunity on 20m from VK with some EU stations calling CQ MRD continuously and covering weaker signals. Please consider QSY up or down 2 after initial contact to leave 14052 clear for callers. Despite that, it was so nice to hear other ex R/O’s on air and keeping the memories alive. Really enjoyed it!
Vy 73,

Hallo om Rolf, es hat wieder Spaß gemacht, viele alte Bekannte begrüßt. Zeitweise war ja richtig viel Betrieb, vor allem auf 30 und 40 m. Danke für deine Aktivitäten, um das Ganze am Leben zu erhalten. Beste Grüße von der Insel 73 – “JO” DL5KUD

I only had time for an hour or so, but it was VERY interesting to join the QSO-party.
