[UK-CONTEST] 80M CC tonight - jamming

[Callum M0MCX]

86? Gee Whizz Dave, it makes me wonder what I need to do sometimes. Quite
remarkable how conditions can be so different depending where you are,
sometimes only 50-100 miles away. I'm amazed. I could most often hear the EU
guy making his call into the G stations, but literally no trace at all of
the G stations making the running(s). 

So the bottom line is that I worked either the locals - or - Jersey, France,
Netherlands, Germany etc. Bit like a 2m contest with a slight lift!

I had someone come up on frequency and make a couple of remarks. He had 
an English accent and was quite loud. Either extremely local (G1WKS 
three miles away was about S6!) or quite a long way away. Anyway, I 
pointed out that he was contravening his licence by not identifying, and 
I asked him what his callsign was. Had no more trouble from him.

Struggled hard for my 86 QSOs. Isn't propagation fascinating?
