[UK-CONTEST] Fw: Fw: GB5HQ

[Paul Beecham]

Re: Our initial response to this thread, we wrote why the G6PZ team and 
station was chosen to undertake the role of 15m SSB. Our past results are 
the reason we were selected and a look at our multi-single team results will 
reveal all.

We are one of the leading M/S teams in Europe and indeed are European 
champions currently in one of the largest contests in the calendar: CQ WPX. 
Also #1 EU in e.g. CQWW RTTY, UBA, etc. World #3 ARRL RTTY Roundup, world #6 
in Russian DX (#3 EU with UU7J etc above who will of course always do 
extremely well due to their location and native tongue). There are other 
decent results in major contests such as CQ 160, ARRL DX etc... Also, it is 
worth noting our recent UBN reports; losing only ~6% in CQWW CW 2005.

Working as a team is far different to working as an individual. Consistency 
is a factor of station reliability and operator performance; it's only when 
you get this mix right that you begin winning contests. For GB5HQ the 
pre-planning and preparation of all station hosts and operators isn't just 
decided on the day - it takes months of planning and hard work!

So, to echo what Graham M5AAV has already said, it should have been 
relatively obvious to any serious contester as to why G6PZ and the other 
stations which form(ed) GB5HQ were chosen.

Paul G6PZ & Simon M0CLW
