[UK-CONTEST] IOTA Contest and RSGB Birthday Celebrations

[G3SJJ]

Looks like they've scored a double whammy then Dave. Mind you as as the
Commercial Manager said to me shortly after he commenced employment "You
don't need to know the product to be able to sell it" or words to that
effect. Now, which can of beans shall I buy? One nice touch I saw though was
that a CD of GB50 is on sale. I will certainly have 10 Euros worth of that.

This came as news to me too. As part of the Cray Valley RS team
that organised the highly successful M2000A and GB50 operations
I'm also a little surprised we haven't been approached to help with
a special event station.
