[UK-CONTEST] WAE Rtty

[Andy swiffin]

Hi,

Do we get a rebate on our licence fees when conditions are that bad?

WAE Rtty fell, unfortunately, after a week of very nice visual auroras
here in GM.  I expected high HF to be a 'bit surpressed' but even 80 was
poor here.  I guess with one of the simpler (est) stations I'd be worst
hit!!   What signals there were on the higher bands were often very weak
with me, I still had a sackload of QTCs to give by the end but no-one to
give them to!

Rig Ts830, max 100watts + wire dipoles for 40/20/15 and Inv L long wire
plus ATU for 80 and 10.

Still, I beat my score from last year and had fun so that's the most
important thing.   Gm8oeg motto: "If you aren't enjoying it you're doing

Class: Single Op Low Power
QTH: Dundee Scotland
Operating Time (hrs): ~22 hours
Radios: Just the one ol' 830
