[UK-CONTEST] RSGB 1st 1.8MHz Contest

[gu4yox]

A lively evening here, however, not as many districts as I thought. The extra 100 miles off the south coast of UK does make a difference I think. Apologies to those who I couldn't pull through the noise. Lots of choice DX around : KV4, FG, FM, OD5 and a few W's all made an interesting night.

Summary:

203 QSO's 43 Districts 31 Countries (74 Bonuses in total)
Final points tally: 979

I think that different areas of the US are only classed as 3 pointers after the initial contact is made as the country is a bonus and not a multiplier one thinks. Some of my districts also came up as 5 pointers after I had worked them previously, I have amended my score to reflect these anomolies.

FT1000MP MkV + Quadra Linear.
Ant: 1/4 wave Inv. L at 65' with horizontal leg at 300 deg. 2400 ft of radials.   2 Beverages at 290 and 180 deg for Rx.
