[UK-CONTEST] G4PIQ SSB AFS

[Andy Cook, G4PIQ]

Hopefuly the first two contests of the year aren't a sign of how the rest of
the year is going to go....

No second Rx - just second VFO on radio - which is actually an OK solution
on SSB. 10 minutes in relays started chattering in the amplifier and smoke
started pouring from the PSU - hopefully just an intermittent on the soft
start relay, bit haven't looked yet. Normally have a spare PA to hand, ut
unfortunately it was elsewhere. Whatever - basically a 100W entry this year.

273 good QSOs. Surprised to manage to more or less hold my frequency 3736 or
so with 100W. Suffered in the last hour from SSTV jamming. Very clear that
QRM both from the SSTVers + other contesters hits the rate for low power
stations much more - blindingly obvious I guess!

Congrats to all for the good scores.
