[UK-CONTEST] OX5AA CQWW CW ..long blurb.

[Steve Jones]

Well done Ian and Nigel for a great effort!

and thanks for working the two of us (GW0ETF and myself)  at GW0GEI on some 
of the bands (its a blur at present after two days back at work and havnt 
checked the log yet!) - but from what I recall you were a big signal.

I will put together a short report on our prep and fun weekend here on 
Anglesey later in the week - but some brief comments on what has been posted 
so far:

Well done Don and team - despite the ice and furry friends eating habbits

Well done to Andy and M6T team - enjoyed reading the report as always and 
nice to see a huge multi single score from the UK :-)   Would be interested 
to see photos of the 160m antenna!  I for one would really welcome an 
article (radcom/web whatever) on how you plan and execute a decent multi 
single operation.

Thanks to everyone who called us in the contest.

Like most people have commented I found the packet cluster spots / pileups 
horrendous at times - dropped my rate most time we got spotted on the lower 
bands, with a lot of the stations just not listening to who I was going back 
to or taking notice of my timing. Good experience and practice though for 
someone like me who isnt a regular cw operator outside of the big contests.

Nice to hear of a number of stations trying cw contest for the first time 
and liking it. Bodes well for the future of uk cw contesting.

Will put up a report on our (fairly) laid back M2 operation from here later 
in the week.
