G3SIG MOVEMENTS ORDER

To claim THE RSARS G3SIG AWARD necessitates working the station in each of 6 call areas of Great Britain. We are desperate for more operators willing and able to put the Channel Islands on the map!

• January 2002 = 63 contacts made from G
  
• February 2002 = 93 contacts made from GM
  
• March 2002 = 42 further contacts made from G, bringing that total to 105
  
• April 2002 = 173 further contacts made from GW, (of which 86 were RSARS Members)
• May 2002 = 21 further contacts from G - this was the Anniversary period with the consequent constraints
• June 2002 = 62 further contacts from GI (using the especially allowed GQ prefix)
• July 2002 = 63 further contacts from GW
• August 2002 = 12 further contacts from G
• September 2002 = 66 further contacts from GD (of which 51 were RSARS Members)
• October 2002 = 26 further Member-contacts from G
• November 2002 - gained us a further 16 QSOs as GI aired the call (included 9 new ones)
• December 2002 - no information to hand from GD activity
• January 2003 - GM reports 9 new contacts
• February 2003 - produced 22 more (including a couple on RTTY) from G
• March 2003 - The Principality of GW gained us another 27 RSARS QSOs.
• April 2003 - The kind activities of GI3SIG enabled another 42 contacts.
• June 2003 - The efforts from GD hooked a further 4 contacts this month.
• August 2003 - Operations from England gained the station a further 4 contacts this month.
• September 2003 - The score was increased by another 3 thanks to G4KKI.
• October 2003 - A good month by comparison with England donating another 8 points to Certificate hunters.......
• November 2003 - GI3SIG produced 12 further contacts during the month
• December - and by the end of 2003 a further 8 had been gathered in which with....
• ......4 for Jan 04 increased the score...
• and a brilliant 118 from G3RWF whilst in GU, and 10 more when the station was "at home" brings gives us........
• The details for GD3SIG operations in March have not been made available.
• A spring in the step of GW3KJW brought 55 new contacts into the log during April 2004
• Scotland in the form of GM3SIG attracted some 16 new contacts during the Merry Month of May to bring the total up a little further.
• No figures available for the Welsh activity in June.
• Scotland again in the form of GM3SIG collected a High Summer harvest of almost one a day bringing the total successfully up again.
• August saw (and heard) GD3SIG bring in 18 new Members including 3 who have now worked the full set, so more Awards on the way when claims have been submitted and processed - very encouraging.
• Autumn has come and with it another 30 contacts including those with 3 Members who have completed their required set and can claim their coveted Award - station kindly operated by GI4JTF throughout September.
• "Thanks to a splendid effort by Bill, GM3KHH, 111 GM3SIG contacts were made during October" reports G4OHX the G3SIG Award Manager and he adds that all outgoing QSL cards to date have been despatched.
• No dark or fog-bound days in November for the operator (MØOIC) - G4OHX the G3SIG Award Manager reports "With Bryan at the helm we had 24 QSOs of which 20 were new ones for G3SIG".
• At this the nadir of the year but 10 contacts were made and all thanks to GI3SIG for making them. A renewed effort all round for the New Year 2005 is on the cards.
• January's GW3SIG brought forth 12 contacts, 11 being new, to herald 2005.
• February heard 9 RSARS member-contacts of which 5 were new ones for "SIGGY".
• During March GD3SIG was activated by GD4ZZN and he sprung into action and achieved 20 contacts with Members which included 2 of them completing their sets to earn the coveted Certificate!
• The peripatetic activities this month (April) secured a further 34 new contacts whilst the station was in the good hands of Nick (G3RWF) down there as GU3SIG - score 34 - and back home with the Manager (Sam, G4OHX) making a further 10.
• The stint by Andy, G8JAC operating as GJ3SIG albeit for 3-days only mid-May, produced a further 45 contacts including one clincher for a claimant.
• June came and with it David, GI3KVD running the call and making 11 new contacts of which 2 were for completion of the set.
• The activity in July produced 10 further contacts, 7 of which were new ones, the prevailing poor conditions inhibit anything better in spite of gallant efforts by the monthly operators.
• During August, GW3SIG which was run by Ray, GW4PUC, made 14 contacts of which 12 were new ones and a further 3 completed the set!
• For GI3SIG in September, Harry GI4JTF made 13 QSOs which included 10 new ones and one Member completed his set.....
• For GI3SIG in October the band conditions were no better than for anyone else, resulting in only an increase in the number of contacts by 4 (two of whom were new ones).
• NO DATA HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE for November 2005.
• December and the end of the 4th year brought not only Christmas but 6 new presents (4 new ones)- GØVNE acting as Santa on these occasions.
• The Happy New Year result was one contact per week for January 2006 (2 new ones).
• February fill-dyke helped to fill the log of MØOIC who was i/c of the station - to the extent of a further 12 contacts (that's good considering the prevailing conditions) 4 of which were new ones.
• As the station is not immune to the prevailing propagation conditions but two contacts only were made in March 2006 (both new ones).
• No better conditions in April but doubtless the rarity value of GD3SIG sharpened ears to the extent of 10 new ones being entered into the log.
• It was a case of "G3SIG 35 points" during the course of May.
• Perhaps as well June had GM3SIG in cooler conditions than a G3SIG would have been - and MM5PSL at the helm managed 11 contacts of which 6 were new ones.
• Having said that the heatwave and record temperatures of July produced yet another 11 contacts of which 4 were new this time - thanks to MØRRA for that.
• August proved not to be the silly season for reporting - GW3KJW managed 21 contacts of which 13 were brand new for the peripatetic callsign.
• Something of a mixture from the September activities: VE7VF operating as GD3SIG hooked 2 new ones, G4BYJ activating GI3SIG had 24 contacts of which 13 were new ones (and included a member who had never heard of the G3SIG Award), Sam G4OHX continued to the end of the month as G3SIG managing a duo before handing over to GI3SIG for October.
• Something of the Blarney Stone Effect enabled the score to be raised by 6 contacts (4 new ones) during the October stint of GI3SIG.
• GU3WHN, Mike, ran GU3SIG in November and although he started off like the proverbial bat out of hell, unfortunately he fell ill, had to go to hospital so things dropped off. Glad to say he is out of hospital now though.
  As GU3SIG Mike made 28 QSOs in all, of which 20 were members and there were 8 new ones so he did well in the short time he was active {1-7 November}.
• G3SIG was not very successful in December until 31st when Peter, GØRGB activated the call for just 2 hours on the "Pop in/Pop out" Net and had 48 QSOs of which 13 were new Members to the Award so very creditable.
• MM5PSL's aerial farm succumbed to the excessive winds early in January - unfortunately therefore G3SIG has taken over for the remaining days of the month.
• February fill dyke it may be but the contentrated efforts of Pat GW3KJW didn't fill log books - conditions and maybe a lack of activity to blame - so only 11 QSOs (of which 5 were new ones. Nevertheless the effort enabled one Member to complete his "set" to claim the Award - provided the QSLs arrive!
• The combined effect of Spring in the Air and A Woman's Touch increased the total by another 10 (of which 7 were new ones) in March - Linda (2E1SIS) graced the bands with her presence sub nom G3SIG.
• April didn't exactly bring us showers of QSL cards - there were but 2 contacts made during the month - GI3SIG managed two new contacts one of which was the G3SIG Award Manager himself whilst sojourning in CT.
• G3SIG was activated during May by Ian, G8OFZ and he made 59 contacts of whom 8 were "new ones" including the G3SIG Manager himself (G4OHX) in Tobago! A very creditable performance.
• With June a'coming in GI4JTF commanded GI3SIG for the round dozen all but one of which were "new ones".
• July result was a mere brace - BUT...........as the operator of GU3SIG (on this occasion Chris GU3TUX) is blessed with only 5 watts "didn't he do well?"
  Nothing ventured, nothing gained Chris is determined to try and get hold of some equipment that will allow him onto 7.165MHz and running an overwhelming 100 watts for his volunteer stint in November.
• And so to August - the Principality attracted 8 more contacts of which 2 were new ones. Diolch yn fawr GW3RVG.
• A SPECIAL SAFARI to activate GD3SIG on 20th September undertaken by Mike M1CCF resulted in 10 QSOs with members:
  4 had worked GD before, 3 completed the requirements necessary to gain their G3SIG Award and 3 others who are thus one step further on the way to their Award.
  The remainder of September harvested a further 13 QSOs of which 12 were new ones - in charge for this was GM3SIG.
• Autumn draws on throughout October during which time GW3SIG (activated by 3KJW in the Principality) gathered in 8 new ones.
• Winter doldrums ahead? November 2007 gloom produces only 5 QSOs including but one new one for GU3SIG in spite of the efforts of GU3TUX.
• No great opportunities for Santa to hand out many Christmas presents - only two contacts were made from G3SIG during December 2007.
• New Year festivities and a month's action produced "nul points".
• February 2008 may have filled a few dykes and 4 log entries in GW (one of which was a new one).
• March and its lion-like entrance ruined the antenna farm of MM5PSL so no contacts made by what would have been GM3SIG.
• April 2008 the call was in the capable hands of GI3KVD who entered 6 contacts in the log, one of which was a new one.
• Maytime, the jolly jolly Springtime and no less than 26 contacts by G3SIG, six of them being new ones - and the operator responsible for this upsurge - Ian G8OFZ.
• Yes, June is busting out all over and even though conditions seem to most to be at their lowest-ever ebb "Persistence pays" as G2KK once said - and it paid for Don, GW3RVG to the extent of 19 contacts during the month as GW3SIG - and half a dozen of them were new ones.
• And what of July? Full of promise, full of hope, and ending up with mixed results. GI3SIG (Harry GI4JTF) made 4 contacts, 2 of which were new ones and enabled one member to complete his set: GJ3SIG (by Andy G8JAC) operated for 3 days, made 7 contacts, 6 were new ones and included another one completing his ambition in regard to the G3SIG Award. Happy days!

All outgoing cards have been despatched by the Station Manager, G4OHX who asks you to note, please, QSL CARDS ARE NOT REQUIRED FROM STATIONS WORKED, thank you.
