[UK-CONTEST] SSB FD Claimed Scores

[Fred Handscombe]

Hi All

Dave (TBK) has really answered his own point.

Its no good preaching the choir on here.

It needs an article in RadCom and PW (are there any others now?) telling 
everyone how much fun you had for minimal effort. Reading para 2 Dave (TBK) 
is the right guy to do it!

We should maybe accept the Germans are just "keener" than some of us in most 
aspects of amateur radio.  We have our major National amateur radio show at 
Donnington in a dirty shed, they have Friedrichshafen!
