[UK-CONTEST] 1.8 MHz Contest G3BJ

[Don Beattie]

Rather a poor effort here this time, I'm afraid. Whether it was because I 
didn't bother to raise the tower (winds), so the dipole was only at about 
45ft (I thought I could rely on the 90ft vertical) I will never know. There 
were times of absolute silence during the contest, with no takers and a 
"dead" sounding band. Also suffered severe key clicks from a G3 who was 
mighty near my frequency (and moved closer during the contest) I guess he 
wasn't getting clix from me !

Some nice runs to the US/VE toward the end, and a better score than last 
year, but there are others WAY ahead ! Well done to them. I would be 
interested to hear what antennas the leaders were using.

Anyway:
