[UK-CONTEST] Late BERU Report

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

For me it was a most disagreeable 24 hours.  If it wasn't for the team 
commitment I would have packed it in and carried on with building my new 
garage.

1. Lousy conditions on LF.  Only 2 worked on 80M Sat/Sun before it became 
a wall of S9+20 QRN and stayed that way until daylight.  Only 1 ZL on 40M 
Saturday morning, nothing on Sunday morning.  40M was interesting, heard a 
lot of weak G's and then blasted by the likes of 'POI and 'GAV with S9+

2. A constant and persistent posse of none Commonwealth callers, W's, 
DL's, I's, EA's and PY's who followed me whenever I QSYed.  They called 
and called and called, a complete pain in the butt.  Why when I send GW3H? 
does a DL or an EA keep calling, none stop? One W emailed me and 
apologised for the QRM but he needed VP8/F and another emailed saying he 
was calling me on 10M.  Yer, right.  Next time(?) I will make a note of 
all their calls and mail them an application form to send to the Queen.

More effort, less reward.  However, 10M worked this year so it can't be 
all bad.

Claimed score 2875 but that includes a couple of G's and a ZF2 who 
wouldn't give a serial number.  Logged as 000.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
