[UK-CONTEST] 1.8 MHz Contest G3SJJ

[Paul Beecham]

    Hi Chris trust your well,   we will be using Wintest again this year, I 
think we can equate the value of WT by the number of stations now using it! 
We were one of the first, now we are amongst the many !!     If any body 
want's more info about Wintest  see Simon M0CLW.
