[UK-CONTEST] GU0SUP 80m CC 5th April CW

[Phil Cooper]

Hi all,

Well, did better than expected, despite a couple of PC problems requiring a
re-boot.
However, I did make the silly mistake of starting at 8pm local, rather than
200UTC, BUT - I wasn't alone!
Just prior to 8pm local, I heard G3RIR getting ready, and then made QSO's
with G3XSV and G3TTB before G3TBK kindly reminded me of the time! Oooopppps!
And no, I did not count those QSO's that took place from 1900UTC!

I was considering calling CQ, so I found a space, called QRL??, waited a
while, then called QRL?? again, and started with CQ TEST DE GU0SUP TEST, but
when I un-keyed, there was someone sending QSY NET FREQ QSY NET FREQ over
and over again. Oh well!

In the end, I made a whole 40 QSO's, some with good CW, others with slightly
"off" fists that made copying the number that bit harder.

It was nice to work Don G3XTT, just fresh back from 3B9C, and in there
despite possible jet lag (well, that was Bob's - YOX - excuse)!

All good fun, and just my bit to keep the good name of GARS going in the
listings!

And Dave G4BUO, I promise not to hassle you about the results this time!

73 all
