[UK-CONTEST] AFS CW 2004

[Jim.kellaway at herts.pnn.police.uk]

Hi All.

Like you Paul (G0WAT) the band was very noisy.  This I put down to the 5 MF
BC stations at Brookmans Park.  Living about 2 to 3 miles south means it's
big trouble here.  I haven't operated from home for some years now in AFS
but thought the noise was much worse than previous years.  

I ended up with 232 qsos.  Well down on previous scores.  Used an inverted
vee dipole at roughly 50 feet.  TS930S + 91b Alpha.  I had no problems in
keeping a frequency just in getting people to come back to me!  I blame it
all on the noise and the weaker signals which I just could pull through the
crud!

See you all next year from a quieter location.

To you Chris SJJ "I'll be back"
