[UK-CONTEST] IARU G3PSM SOAB CW Low

[Colin G3PSM]

Likewise I  had a few hours to spend S & P ing this year but as Dave 
said conditions were not that inspiring although it was nice to hear 10 
metres fairly open.

191 Qs with a FT1000MP on it's own into an apparently intermittent DX77 
vertical and a 132 long wire up 30 foot.

Worked GB5HQ on most bands CW but didn't hear them on 20M.   I was 
suprised at the problem I had working them on 160M ?   Cracking signal 
with me but they obviously had problems with my signal.

Worked 4N9HQ and SN0HQ on all bands but not DA0HQ!

The highlight (?) was the ease with which I appear to have worked the 
majority of the PW5 and PT5 stations on 40 metres.
