[UK-CONTEST] 21/28MHz similar to 70MHz

[Roger Cooke]

Hi. 

  I had to smile at some of the comments. It reminded me of one VHF NFD when I was asked to "man" the 70Mhz station on the Sunday. I started at around 10 a.m.   I had a visit from one of the ops at around 4 p.m. He casually asked how I was doing. He must have missed the hair on the grass, my weird behaviour somewhat resembling a fit, the foam coming from my mouth plus one or two other things. I told him I had worked one new station. He was over the moon with delight!  It wasn't exactly how I felt!  Needless to say I have never volunteered for that band again.

  I do hope the 21/28 contest stays however, not that I took part, butit does serve a purpose in that sometimes those bands do have some propagation but nobody calls. Everybody just listens. Congrats to those with the stamina who stayed the course.
