[UK-CONTEST] VHF exchanges

[Alex Allan]

Me too!
I well remember once when GM8FFX and I were sitting on the Cairn 'O'
Mount in North East Scotland during an EU opening "tuning high to low".
Then deliberately not answering anyone, just for the sheer gratification
of listening to the whole 2M band calling us on AM!!  Naughty eh!

I remember those days too.  In particular, one group who I recall
announcing, "tuning both ends in and inside out"  Still young and wet
behind
the ears, I couldn't fail to be impressed. Though I did wonder what on
earth
they were on about.  Still do.

> I have been doing VHF/UHF contests since the crystal controlled,"
tuning
both ends out" days. Now the sequence (running) is  :-
> "CQ CQ contest.....G3IZD portable contest"
> " G8XYZ"
> " G8XYZ g'day five nine , one zero two,india oscar eight four kilo
delta
QSL"
> " G3IZD roger five nine zero one two , juliet oscar zero zero foxtrot
delta QSL"
> " Roger seven three G3IZD portable contest"
> This surely is the normal minimum for most contests, HF also and would
seem to accord totally with the rules. As ever the less experienced will
usually repeat both callsigns but this is often quite sensible anyway.
