[UK-CONTEST] RE: [FOC] Club Championship Contest 16th June

[Dave Sergeant]

Well I had no experience of these funnies here, but there were quite 
a few big scores about. At 2031 (not 2131, that was after the 
contest..) I got 053 when I was on 028 from Dave G4BUO and as 
adjudicator I assume that was legit...(and yes Dave like last time 
you sent me 569 to make sure I was on my toes...). 067 then might be 
a bit optimistic.

I must say I was pleased with my QSO rate running QRP and achieved 
75Q/hour in the first 15 minutes. Nice to be giving the big boys 
bigger serial numbers than I received. It slowed down somewhat later 
and I ended up on 064 - and a pileup suddenly appeared just after 
2130....

Reading the mails here it seems the strange thing is that there are 
always twice as many stations on than you actually hear and everybody 
seems to work a different subset of them. I even failed to hear one 
of our own members... And I see Roger G3SXW has been converted to 
QRP!
