[UK-CONTEST] CQWW CW...SOAB...G3TXF

[Nigel G3TXF]

Hullo UK Contesters,

G3TXF scrapped about 3.8m points from 3,665 Q's in CQWW CW. 

Although the number of QSOs was higher than in any previous SOAB entry, overall Mults were well down despite the excellent 160m/80m conditions.. 

High-light of the contest was working TZ5A on six bands. I'm too embarrassed to say here what the low-light of the contest was, but all is revealed in the web-page write-up.

There are a few notes and photos from the 2005 CQWW CW effort on:

If the Claimed Scores on 3830 are anything to go by, there's no chance of G3TXF even being at the bottom of the Top-EU SOAB Box. The SOAB (HP) EU ranking based on 3830 so far reads : 

6.8m CT8T 
6.5m ER4DX [The UK's very own Sergei M0SDX no less!]
5.4m S50A
4.4m TM6X [Dennis G3MXJ]
4.2m MW5A [Ian G3WVG]
3.8m ES5TV
3.8m G3TXF
3.3m OL8R
2.7m GM0F [Stewart GM4AFF]

The 2005 CQWW CW Contest was the 35th such contest entered in the past 38 years. Yes, I can't believe it, but I actually missed CQWW CW on three years!

A summary of G3TXF's last 38 years of CQ WW Contesting is on:
