[UK-CONTEST] Reports in 80M Club contest

[Stewart Rolfe]

Try the 80m Sprints starting in August to see if you can break the habit 
of listening for the 599....First time I tried a (EU) sprint the missing 
599 was a real block but I've gradually got used to it now.

Mind you the renegade last night still threw me; the brain must be 
geared up for the 599 *** on the night and the synapses miss a beat when 
it's missing. Just getting old....
