[UK-CONTEST] CQWW SSB M/M

[John MacLean, MM0CCC]

Like Lee G0MTN, the GM5A team were cursed with bad colds over the weekend.
Mine appeared Thursday a.m. in time for a
full day outdoors working on the antenna farm, just to make sure it stayed
for the weekend.  It was no consolation that I wasn't
the only one suffering!  Nevertheless we were reasonably happy at our first
effort in M/M section.  LF scores were pleasing,
especially on 80m where we had to put up a dipole at short notice as we were
running out of time (and daylight) to put up a
vertical and/or Inverted L, as originally intended.  15 and 10 qso totals
were a bit low which has probably lowered our 3pts/qso
ratio to quite an extent.  Would we do M/M again?  -  Oh yes!

Thanks to Jim, GM0NAI for equipment loaned to us for the event.

Here's a quick summary.  A full write up is in progress.
