[UK-CONTEST] GB5HQ

[G3WPH]

Dave,

Being located just a few miles from your QTH you might be interested that I
didn't hear them on 15 SSB until about 0700 Sunday - they were on approx
21.290. The signal wasn't strong, about RS 43 here in Wargrave (Berks) and I
had to put the linear on to work them - it would have been hard going with
your QRP.

I did manage all band/slots for a full house two years in a row.

Thanks for the QSO & 73

Mike
