Hullo UK Contesters!

I'm sure no one here needs any reminder, but a
great place to put your claimed CQWW CW score
is on the 3830 reflector. In the unlikely event that
you haven't done so already, you can find the
"input form" at www.hornucopia.com/3830score/

By some software magic the 3830 website produces 
regular claimed score listings by the various
categories. These tables make interesting
reading as new claimed scores are added.

OK, it's only "claimed scores" at this stage, but
it's better than nothing between now and early
next November when we will see the final
tabulations in "CQ".

Also in the same way that the "comments" on the
UK Contest Reflector are often more interesting
than the bare claimed score numbers, you can 
peruse the comments of a large number 
of CQWW CW entrants on 3830.

73 - Nigel G3TXF 

PS : Incidentally 3830kHz was the frequency in
the US 75m phone-band where contesters used
to meet to swap scores immediately after major
contests - hence the name of the 3830 website.
