[UK-CONTEST] G4FKA BERU stats

[g4fka at aol.com]

Not an entry that will compete for places or silverware but good fun to  
participate all the same. I do it to see what can be worked with a simple set-up  
when the euro noise wall isn't there and of course to try to a little better  
each time, particularly learning to read the conditions on each band. New 
lesson  for next year will be to take more interest in the sunrise hours on 80 and 
 40 which I have neglected so far but clearly deliver some nice DX to those 
who  venture onto the bands at those hours.
 
For those who like to analyse such things the basic stats are as  follows:
    *   Predominantly S&P apart from one or two extremely small runs. However 
 as these micro-runs got P3J, 9M6XRO and VQ5XF on at least one occasion  each 
it can't be an absolute waste of time!  
    *   Already on 3830. 
    *   BCAs: 77 claimed, with the split 80/40/20/15/10 being 12/21/26/15/3. 
As  long as the total ends up >71 that will be fine! 
    *   Hourly rates. Hardly worth analysing for the low numbers but  here 
they are anyway so others can have a quiet snigger!: 7, 5, 15, 7, 3,  7, 7, 8, 
7, 14, 10, 7, 11, 11, 9, 6, 2, 1, 4*0, 1, 1. 
    *   The 28MHz QSOs: 9J2BO, 7Q7BP and VP8NO. Can't remember hearing 
anything  else and certainly nothing to the north.
Voila.
 
Well done to the British team for keeping it going throughout and may your  
trophy cabinets bulge!
