[UK-CONTEST] WPX SSB G0RTN

[philhss at tesco.net]

Gerry,

I heard you working on 40m and gave you a call - but I couldn't break through the Eu wall! I was operating at VK6ANC...

You had a very nice signal into VK and I was sure I could get you into the log - but alas, no.

We were in the M2 category and had a great time.

73,

Phil Smeaton
VK2BAA / G0HSS
