Comments:

The first joint effort in this contest from the Cambridge University Wireless
Society (G6UW / M4A) and the Granta Contest Group (M0CAM / M4R).  

It was good fun, but conditions were poor.  The worst hour (11 QSOs!) was in the
first hour of the contest, but fortunately things did pick up at times,
especially once we were on the cluster (thanks to everyone who spotted us).  20M
and 15M performed well when they were open.  40M was much better on the second
night than on the first, and 80M performed steadily during darkness hours.  We
need better antennas on 160M for future years, especially if 10M stays this dead
(0 QSOs) for a while.  Not a bad first effort though.

Personally, as a young op, it was a great insight to listen to operators with
many more years experience, chiefly using our equipment, so thanks to the Granta
Contest Group for coming to show us how it is done.  

Congratulations and thanks to the other stations for a good contest,
particularly from M0BBB and myself (M0BLF) to the other WWYCers out there.
