Yes - you're right. We did work and swapped the numbers you stated (is this
an eQSL??) I guess the other Graham (M5AAV) got a bit confused with the
e-mail reply to *Graham* as he had posted something in a similar vein
earlier.

For the record, I was running 100W (no amp in shack here sorry to say) and
the ant is 132 ft dipole which is bent around to fit into the back garden.
Max height is 35ft.

Looks like I had a *good* freq when the contest started (although I had S9
noise level from various signals around from the start). No great skill in
sitting on one frequency and calling CQ - but it seemed to work for me for
the first hour or so! It went a bit downhill when I had to QSY and S&P.
Anyway, it was good fun for 90mins. No QRM from XYL/kids/phone - always a
bonus.

Hope to see you and everyone else in the CW / SSB events next month

73 Graham G4FNL

Confused.. Hang on, I really did work G4FNL at 20:13 local time, I don't see
your point because I also worked G6PZ (Paul) at 20:01 (local). I gave him 7,
he gave me 1.

>>> I am his QSL Manager up in Soggy Lancashire

And you are..? (not being stupid but you didn't sign the message?)

Regards,

Callum.

Quoting from the message of Wed, 12 Apr 2006 23:27:51 +0100 from "Callum

Just to correct that Callum.

G6PZ is Paul down in Weston-super-Mare - I am his QSL Manager up in
Soggy Lancashire.

The 'PZ Contest Group is not a bad setup <smile> check them out via qrz.com
