[UK-CONTEST] Alpha 91b

[Clive Whelan]

Thanks Paul, and to all the others who replied off-list. It might be 
helpful to summarise the findings.

The consensus was substantially as you report, with only one user( out 
of 7 or 8) reporting reliability issues. This confirms my previous 
impression, but it's nice to have a U.K. perspective.

btw G6PZ was tricky to copy in the RTTY RU here, clearly because of 
fluttery " back scatter" reflections from the Welsh hills, with my 
antenna cranked down and pointed West because of the gales. Don't tell 
anybody I was on RTTY will you ;-)
