[UK-CONTEST] Important CQWW Question and Funny Anecdote

[Gerard Lynch]

Now, the really important piece of post-contest analysis...

Does Lee get as many people thinking he's me as I get thinking I'm G0MTN?

Other magic moment:

About 3 o'clock on Sunday, 15 suddenly opens in a big way to the States.  I 
reckon I can probably pile them in as fast sweeping through the dozens of 
unworked, gorgeous, S9++++ three pointers as trying to run.  It's really 
simple.  Hit F4 - stick in the call while copying the exchange - hit F2 - go 
to the next one.

While trying to work K5ZD, I get a bit confused - I hit F2, then stop it 
with Esc, then F5 (send his call), then Escape again and finally manage to 
hit the right button.  I need to work on this computer control thing.

So the QSO goes as follows.

TU K5ZD

G0RTN: dididididit (pause) K5 (pause) G0RTN

Randy shows why he is one of the best operators in the world, by not only 
getting the callsign right first time but knowing WHY I've cocked it all up.

K5ZD: HEE G0RTN 5NN5

G0RTN: SRI HAD BRAIN FART 5NNA4

K5ZD: I KNOW FEELING 73 K5ZD TEST

This has been recorded for posterity along with the rest of the contest site 
and will probably be audible from some point later this week at K5ZD's.
