PACKET. 
Win-test ver 4.40

I initially plan this contest for preparation for upcoming WRTC 2010, because
this is mixed-mode 24 hours only contest, similar to WRTC. Unfortunately Jun
JH4RHF canceled his trip to Jersey at the last minute due to BA strike. Luckily
London - Jersey service was unaffected so I decided to do SO2R. The club
station, GJ3DVC (GJ2A during major contest), has similar antenna for WRTC
operation. It was also good practice for packing everything I need very
carefully as airline baggage policy nowadays became very strict. :-(

10m was open only for Africa and South America. 
15m was open to Russia but not EU. I was surprised how many Russian station
were participating as someone called me every time I felt I need to QSY to
another band. 
160 and 80 were tough band as DP antenna is so low and not a full size antenna.
However, it is good practice for WRTC as we cannot expect much on 80m low power
operation. Got some nice run, though, I guess someone spotted me. 
Towards end of the contest, I need to make SSB QSO rather than CW because I
should have at least 30% in either CW or SSB mode as WRTC rule states. This was
not a big problem once I realized I can get quite nice run on 20m SSB even in
low power, probably because of my GJ callsign. Therefore I need to think more
carefully about mixture of SSB and CW QSOs at WRTC.   

Many thanks to club members to let me use the station!
