[UK-CONTEST] BERU 2006 - GM3WOJ

[Chris Tran]

Hi all

I missed the first 6 hours due to a family visit, so decided to enter the 
12-hour section - unfortunately I also failed to read the rules carefully 
and assumed the contest had started at 1200z, not 1000z - so when still 
calling 'CQ BERU' at 1006z I was bombarded by stations sending 'QRT' - I of 
course assumed this was a cunning plan to steal my frequency so told them to 
'QSY' - thanks to G4RCG for telling me about my mistake !

My first participation in BERU for a while - conditions and activity seemed 
below average ? - no LP opening to VK/ZL this morning, but some QSOs on that 
path last night. 40m seemed fairly good.  Worked GB5CC (tnx guys) and 4 
other stations on 15m, but have no antenna here for 10m.

123 QSOs in about 7 hrs of operating. Used Writelog (which actually works 
well) in CQ WPX CW mode, so will have to score the log manually - in this 
event you work everything you can hear so real-time mult checking is 
un-necessary.

If we are submitting Cabrillo files for the entry, I assume this means I 
actually don't need to have a claimed score ? (I will work it out anyway)
