[UK-CONTEST] 80m CC Feb SSB

[Dave Sharred]

And very difficult conditions from here - only 51 QSO's.

Band was full of strange noises and very strong continentals

Had to S&P most of the contest - CQing was ridiculous.

Took time out to move a few people out of the disallowed 50KHz - quite a few
people still operate here.

Personally, I think this rule is a bit silly - in AFS , anything goes; in
these short 1.5 hour blasts, we can't use it; and we still have the SSTV
people protecting their frequency allocation like crazy - one station took
to recording G3ORY's exchanges and QRMming him by playing them back !!

If there's a section of the band worth disallowing, surely it is this 20
KHz - at least for the sake of harmony between modes????  Hate to give in ,
BTW, but we hear it in every 80m SSB contest....
