[UK-CONTEST] AFS CW - G3BJ

[G3SJJ]

SO2R in the SSB leg should be more achievable in th SSB leg, Don, 
particularly if you can get a Run spot on the higher end of the sub 
band. That would give you a frequency separation of 150KHz if you 
started at the low end. Compare that to 40 to 50 KHz for the CW leg.

Watching the space with interest.  Chris G3SJJ

It was dire for part of the contest and used S&P quite a bit whilst trying to hold a good run frequency. Rates in the four hours (inc dupes) were  99 - 76 - 56 - 33.

I'll either get some benefit, drive myself mad, or blow a front-end. Watch this space.
