[UK-CONTEST] CQWW CW M5RIC SOAB LP

[G3SJJ]

Excellent news and congratulations Rich.

We invited Richard to join us at GU8D this year. He was a great SSB operator
but totally declined our efforts to get him to use CW although recognising
the benefits. We obviously had some influence, I am so pleased.

I note 2 other young ops were active, Mark M0DXR and Rob M0TTT as GM5A.

Some info later on the Old F--t (G3SJJ) v Young Nerd (G4IIY) head-to-head.

Chris G3SJJ   (G8D)

Anyone who knows me will know I have never done any CW up until now, so this
was just a mess around to join in the fun and have a play. Nice lot of DX
about and interesting to see what could be worked with a simple setup.

20M was great all weekend, last station worked on the band was HC8N @ 23:20
on Saturday. Lots of NA and Carib' stations about until late in the evening
too.

This has pushed me to get my skills upto speed again!
