[UK-CONTEST] 160m Club Calls

Sorry to bring this old chestnut up again, it's just that someone has
recently asked in the CDXC Yahoo reflector about getting in touch with
Reading Radio Club. I did a search on Google just to be inquisitive and I
noticed that there's a Reading Radio Club -AND- a Reading and District
Amateur Radio Club.

 

Now I realise why my contest log wasn't "accurate enough" for scrutinizers
after its submission for the Club Calls contest. I had marked too many of my
READING club entries,  "READING" when in fact I should have been more
specific (eg Radio Club or DARC).

 

It's the first time I entered that contest - with a compromise "estate"
antenna (in other words, bloody difficult conditions!) and now the penny has
really dropped; the aims of the contest -vs- the difficulty of 160m -vs- the
pedantically scrutinised exchange = I'll not be entering that one again.
