[UK-CONTEST] Fwd: GB5HQ

[Mike Farmer (G3VAO)]

In your posting YOU stated that "we didn't man the station from maybe 0000
to 0300" the way I understood was that in that period of time one of the
GB5HQ slots was missing.  Pse correct me if I am wrong but do it politely.

I am further confused by your statement that "GB5HQ had 10 stations on the
air and QSOs were made during the whole 24 hours"  If there are 6 bands and
2 modes per bands should there not be 12 stations on the air?

PS remember that I was complimentary about the way the GB5HQ team was able
and willing to give info re- the rest of the effort.
