[UK-CONTEST] ROPOC1 - G3LET

[Peter Hobbs]

Despite making a feature of the SP DX contest this weekend, the RSGB Contest News page forgot to mention ROPOCO, but it didn't look as though too many peeps relied upon that.

A lot of guys seem to think they're sigs are too weak to call CQ and only call the pounding stations, but as usual it was tough to grab them afterwards - thanks to G0IGB who responded straight away . . .

56 good QSOs - Tentec Omni VI plus barefoot into usual off-centre fed wire.  

Little point in trying to use automated keying in ROPOCO because quite a few seem to prefer a bit of extra spacing.  Cardboard dupe sheet with all known ROPOCO  stations nearly worked (sorry G0WBC and G2FSR!)
