[UK-CONTEST] QSO times CC

[G3SJJ]

Nope. If I start a QSO at 21:29:59 I will finish it. So if Andy GM8OEG 
calls me we could be another couple of minutes, eh Andy? If only you 
had, I'd have got the ton! It is a Radio Sport after all. Not a Sunday 
afternoon cricket match!!

SJJ (and I wasn't going to bother with this one cos it is is so futile.)

(Anyway the CNdP that Dick GU4CHY gave us was pleasant, yes, it lasted 
the long on the rack!!)
