[UK-CONTEST] GM4AFF BERU 2003

[Cooper Stewart]

I'm not sure that partial and part-time logs are worth putting on here, but
for what it's worth here's my BERU part-time result. It was the first time
I've taken an interest in this contest, and I liked it. I only did 6 hours
of search and pounce. CQ'ing was unproductive of itself, but would have been
worthwhile if I was serious, as it allowed some productive s and p on the
second radio. I agree with Andy that it resembles UK 2m contesting. This
included the north of Scotland effect! I was able to listen to southern G's
working stuff I couldn't hear!!
I heard (and followed out of curiousity) some very slick band hopping by
PIQ/P and BUO, as they pulled the more casual VE ops from (even 40) to 20 to
15 to 10m. As long as no one plays with the format, this British Empire
thing might catch on ;-)
