[UK-CONTEST] IARU Contest

[Mike Farmer (G3VAO)]

Hi all

Had a play during the IARU Contest and my log shows that both XX9A and ER7HQ were giving "ARM" as their section. Did I c**k up the exchange or did any one else notice this?

Started play time at about 20:00 last night, with the intention of giving GB5HQ 6 band SSB QSOs during those 6 QSOs (10m to 160m in order!!)  I realized all was not well with my 40m dipole!! so after some kip at just after 06:00 this morning I stuffed up a 40m Inverted Vee - and hey presto there was activity on 40m and my 100w could be heard.

During the day I asked a number of HQ stations for freq of other team members but (other than GB5HQ) none could say exactly where they were - Congrats to the GB5HQ team (and the software writer!!)

Lastly hows this for fast work on Friday I got a certificate from TM0HQ for 6 QSOs during the 2004 event (yes 2004)
