[UK-CONTEST] SSB FD - G3RCV/P Cray Valley RS

[Dave Lawley]

We lost our great site from last year, but G0VJG found a very good new 
one right next to a pub. The tower needed to be securely guyed, and the 
tent nearly took off a couple of times, but all was well.

We gave some less experienced ops a chance to work the contest, 
including two of our Foundation class successes, Dawn M3WTZ and Sam 
M3NHI. Dawn's YL voice certainly brought a few extra callers.

Conditions were atrocious, though we probably missed a few mults on 15. 
Was amazed to be running on 80m at 5.30pm.

We also had an 11 element 2m yagi on the top of the tower and made 100 
Qs in casual operation in the Trophy contest. Callsign on 2m was G0VJG/P
