[UK-CONTEST] April CC CW contest

Tue Apr 5 03:32:00 EDT 2005

Cut short a prestigious club meeting for this one - our local Assembly 
member was presenting a nice fat grant cheque from 'Awards for All' (see 
April '05 RadCom) which necessitated some tight scheduling.
Conditions seemed decent in NW Wales but noise levels increased in the 
last half hour with strong GM and EU stations appearing and many G sigs 
going 'auroral' as already mentioned. Worked one  2E but no M3s this time.
84  contacts - pretty  good for me.....100w from a FT990 and a poor (for 
80m) doublet; SD/Winkey flawless again. Now sampled all 3 modes and 
totally convinced that CW is the easiest mode to contest with.
