[UK-CONTEST] RSGB 80m CC DATA

[Alan Hydes]

Same inability to decode a lot of the signals here.  After looking for
incorrect settings in the software I decided it must be phase distortion.
PSK31 was far better from this point of view with solid copy of virtually
all signals.  But I think lots of people (including me) have given up on
PSK31 as being too slow for contesting.
