[UK-CONTEST] 80M CC G3SJJ

[G3SJJ]

Interesting. I made a note of 3 Eu callsigns during ARRL. T96Q had wide 
noise sidebands as Dave mentioned. 4O1A had clix and parasitic such that 
I  had to tune across 40KHz to find the main signal, HG9N was a rough 
note also. I noted YZ1U as well but not sure why!

Like Alan says most W signals were adequate in comparison, probably with 
the exception of some older TenTec users.

The other thing that was very noticeable was the absence of the missing 
callsigns and speeded up stuff from the NA side. Worst Eu for that was 
OE4A whose TST & ENNK was sent at 40+ wpm whilst his actually Q rate was 
about half that!

Mind you I do like the idea of ENN NN when we get our increased power 
limit!! Nice one.
