[UK-CONTEST] 7 mhz Contest.

[Steve Rawlings]

A bit off topic, but...  if anyone is looking for a very different kind 
of 7 MHz operating event, you could always have a go at the new 'eXtreme 
CW World-Wide Challenge'.  This certainly isn't a rate contest, and it's 
up to each operator to set their own challenge.

For details see:

After nearly 40 years of keying, my right hand is slowly giving out, so 
I will be using my left hand to key throughout this event.  I will be 
using a German WW2 'T1' straight key; manual logging & checklist -- and 
no automatic senders of any kind!

I'll certainly be jolly pleased if I make 5 QSOs in any one hour!


Regards to all,
Steve GW4ALG
