[UK-CONTEST] ROPOCO I - G0CKP

[Steve Knell]

Got 60 Qs this time - propagation seemed very variable - band went quiet
around 0830UTC - either that or my wire broke.

I should've operated from my contest site 'cos I couldn't hear well enough
using the tx antenna at home.  Had to turn away G3HKO and GM3UM due to poor
readability, but apart from those two I worked everyone that I heard, which
is unusual...

I also should've used my IC765 'cos I could hear the regular G "boomers" via
filter "blow-by" up to 5kHz from their tx frequency on the IC756 (with 6db
att. and INRAD filters!) - however, the 756 has "dual watch" which was
useful.

I'm sure there are many more Gs out there who would enjoy this contest if
they would just give it a try.
