[UK-CONTEST] SSB AFS

[G3SJJ]

I thought activity and interest was high. Lots of people who are not 
normally active contesters. No great problems observed. Probably one of 
the best SSB AFSs I have heard. Highlights for me :

- G3UEG going for it, well done Dave and young 2E0CNG also doing very 
well, excellent Mark.
- The trend of leaving out the leading zeros is catching on.

Lowlights - Heil headset mic lead going o/c 30 minutes before the start, 
so had to dismantle it and solder a new cable on, consequently no Run 
freq so did s&p until I lost interest and decided to start re-aligning 
the K2.

Funniest - listening to the pre-contest Cray Valley 3750 net (!) and 
working a guy who didn't know what these things (contests) were called 
but didn't like them and lived near an airport near Hayes Middx but 
couldn't remember what it was called. Was he for real??
