Yay! - and someone else suggested it - so its not my fault.

Lets have a contest with an exchage of serial + locator, that way everybody (UK and EU) has something they can send and how about a multiplier on the squares (IO86 etc)?

(got my tin hat on already, Alex).

p.s.  Enjoyed the contest - only 34 worked which was just about all I could hear on my bit of wire.  Thanks for the QSOs.
I'm not convinced about the complicated QSY rule, 2khz for this - 5 for that - ehhh???  And what do I do if I QSY and then can't find anyone else to work except near to where I was before?
