Thanks for the information on that contest Dave. Although I remember 
seeing something about it recently, it does not appear in any of the 
usual contest calendars. I was a bit puzzled to listen down on 20m this 
morning and find it full of contest stations, my reaction was 
immediately 'another of these damn WSEM things...'. It is perhaps a 
pity they had not managed to publicise it more.

By the way, the reason I was looking at 20m was because G0IAY, a friend 
of one of our club members, is apparently operating BT1OB at the 
Olympics special station today. I gather they are on 14033/14047/14190. 
Those of you with beams may have a look, but guess there will be little 
path to the G3YMC...
