[UK-CONTEST] ROPOCO2 G3KNU

[peter Jackson]

After reading the reports I thought for once I will give mine. Running 100w to a much bent dipole I managed 60 which is the best I have achieved for many a year, maybe my new digital hearing aid is beginning to cut in!  I feel sure that score will be hacked down after adjudication. How  ops get 100% I do not know, I take my hat off to them. Some very strange codes this time, DDD15FN and TT2 take the biscuit. Never received mine (DN17 2EQ) back but then I seldom do. Had a strange thing happen during the contest. I use SD and key the rig from a serial port via Winkey, I normally have the speed set to 22wpm. This time I set the macro so the Post Code was sent 2wpm slower, after several contacts I noticed that the speed indication on the screen was gradually coming down until it showed 18wpm. Twice I had to increase it back to the original speed. Then It settled down and worked perfectly for the rest of the contest. Just one of the strange happenings that's been occurring in my shack over the past 12 months since my old mate went SK, but that's another story!
