[UK-CONTEST] Guest op looking for a station

[paul]

Hi Lee and and all, here at the G6PZ C.G  I welcome WWYC members. We already 
have Simon M0CLW and  Mark M0DXR in our ranks and their contribution to the 
group has been invaluable. During WPX SSB Simon Treacher M3CVN  only 17 yrs. 
amazed me with his knowledge and skill.
Of course there is no substitute for experience but these guys certainly 
know what their doing behind a radio and their enthusiasm is unbelievable as 
they travel hundred's of miles on a bank holiday to operate here. Sergie 
M0SDX also on our team think's nothing of driving down here after being 
elbowed in the face and kicked in the leg just to contest ( he looked so bad 
he frightened the dogs)  I feel very excited by all this and whole heartedly 
support young contesters. 73Paul G6PZ.      ----- Original Message -----
