[UK-CONTEST] G4FNL RSGB 80m CC CW score

[Steve Knell]

I haven't been on the air much over the past couple of years, but decided to 
give this one a go to evaluate the Win-Test logging software.

I had to switch my 160M inv vee for a 80M inv vee a few hours before the 
contest - my contest station was looking a bit neglected with 
brambles/stingers up around head height!

Win-Test was great.  But 30 mins into the contest it shutdown because it was 
an un-registered version.  Initially, I thought "game over", but I restarted 
the software and all the contacts were present and it performed flawlessly 
for the rest of the contest.

I did switch to the 80M vertical a few times, but mostly stuck to the inv 
vee.  YL3DX obviously wasn't hearing me too well on the inv vee as he came 
back a minute later for a second bite at his serial number!

Good to hear/work a few M3s and 2E0s.

122 Qs - ft1mp mkII running @ 50% o/p



*Baltic contest this evening (Sat 20/5) 80M cw/ssb 21-02z if anyone is 
interested.
