[UK-CONTEST] CQWW CW activity

[Graeme Caselton]

Sorry Bill/G7PVZ, but the prize for the lowest points scored usually belongs to me!

Only about 2 hours activity here at G6CSY as away the whole weekend on a course. Only played on 40m for an hour each night. 

Managed 64 QSO's amongst the QRN and QRM. Best were PY7ZY [up on 7.090], PJ2T and W0/1/2/3/4/9. Standing out though was VK6LW just after 9pm [up on 7.077], for an all time new.

Stn was IC-7400 @ 20W and a trap vertical. Logging with DXLab.

No GM/GW/EI heard/worked.....

Cheers

Graeme
