[UK-CONTEST] GM4AFF 80m CC

[David L Sharred]

Thanks for the nice report, Stewart; I must be entering the big league, but
you wouldn't believe it if you saw my antenna !

Stewart was also loud here; but some G's seemed awesomely loud - hope your
amps were not on ?  :-)

Forgot to say - I slowed my sending towards the end, and always tried to
match the speed of the caller, when giving the report exchange

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.
