[UK-CONTEST] GM4AFF 80m CC

[Cooper, Stewart]

Had to retune the dipole so missed the first 20 mins. Seems like a really
good format for a contest. Doesn't start too early, so I can do the family
stuff. Doesn't finish too late. There are also still stations to be worked
at the end, which is good. I worked about 75. I gave one station 015 then
forgot his call so I don't know who that was! He had gone when I tried to
re-call him. It pays to get the call into the field before pressing the
other keys!! I wonder how G stations find working other G's. I find that
GM's with me are very weak, but central G is very loud. SJJ & NKC = 40db
over. I was suprised to see that G3KKQ was 'QRP' - you were loud up here.
FT1000MP barefoot to a dipole at 25ft or so. I stopped at 2126 after I got
pounced upon by commercial (I think?) RTTY.
