> Thanks to the organisers and to everyone for the Q's
> I just didn't seem to have the enthusiasm this weekend
> and was content with CQ'ing into the ether and watching
> sport and films on the TV, this lack of interest resulted
> in a third less Q's than last year.
> I even tried a few PSK31 Q's to try to get myself motivated
> but to no avail.
> Hope that I can regenerate my enthusiasm b4 the CQWW 160
> and BARTG Sprint weekend!!
> Condx were pretty good, although I didn't venture around
> the bands much.
> Best hour was 76.
> Highlight of the contest was being apprehended and cautioned
> by a CW Band policeman {who was using RTTY} when I strayed
> onto 7032 in the hopes of working some JA's.
> He said that the police were out in force and that any
> transgressors would be entered into his little black book
> and their names and callsigns would later be published on
> a ''page of shame'' in Radcom.
> So, if you also strayed be prepared to see your name and
> callsign published on the shameless page.
> Lucky for me my call starts with a Z so I shud be at the
> bottom of the list of possibly hundreds of shameless ones,
> and people will have got bored reading it by the time they
> reach me.
> The police as he said were out in force and were using RTTY
> to send a load of gibberish between 7030 and 7035, presumably
> to deter contesters. Guess it worked as I moved up band only
> to find myself among the SSB guys where I couldn't find a clear
> spot to continue my lacklustre CQ'ing.
> Surely with a band stretching from 7000 to 7200 we could make
> a bit more provision for CW and especially RTTY in the Bandplans.

> 73 and hope to cu on the unfeasibly narrow RTTY bands. Steve.
