[UK-CONTEST] Don't Forget - GB5HQ

[G3SJJ]

So I know bugger all about football, I think footballers are a load of
over-paid wallies but I just can't understand why I haven't been asked to
play for Manchester United in the European Cup. Never mind, I am sure the
British Olympic Fencing Team will invite me to join them in 7 years time,
after all, I put up 17 panels of the stuff last autumn.

Same Radio Club mentality as we had on here a few weeks ago. They probably
wouldn't work us even if the whole team was B, Fd, Int etc.  Chris G3SJJ

Hi Dave
Errr well, I know a number of guys who won't be working you, because of a
comment that came up at this Tuesday's club meeting.

Apparently (and don't shoot the messanger!) but...an observant member of our
club pointed out that although the GB5HQ team wants as many UK licensed
amateurs to work them, there isn't one former Class B licence holder in the
team, nor are there any Foundation or Intermediate licence holders.

The comment was aling the lines of "thats a bit rich, isn't it".

Anyway, have fun.

Adrian (M1LCR)

Hello uk-contesters

A reminder that the IARU contest starts at 12.00z tomorrow, and we need
you to work GB5HQ on all six HF contest bands, phone and CW. Please ask
your locals and fellow club members to work us as well.

Our main competitor, DA0HQ, gets an incredible number of DL hams to work
their headquarters station and in order to compete, we need Gs to turn
out in similar numbers.

Each station's logging computer will be linked via the Internet (using
G3WGV's Starlog) so we can tell you the run frequency on the remaining
band/modes that you need.

The GB5HQ team will be most grateful for the contacts. Full details on
the revamped web site www.gb5hq.com

Many thanks

Dave G4BUO
GB5HQ Coordinator
