[UK-CONTEST] RSGB CC SDR

[Jonathan G0DVJ]

Geoff you have my sympathies. At least the SDR helps with that problem.

I was having QSOs just below 3527 for half an hour before too and as  
soon as I switched to CQ Contest at 1900 utc I had an anonymous  
spoiler/jammer sending a carrier and a very slow T E S T on top of  
me ... he was obviously happy to waste 40 odd minutes of his evening  
doing that.  Not sure if he attacked anyone else after I went S&P or  
whether it was just me he wanted to victimise.
No point in the SDR recording for my problem since there was no ID of  
course!

Apologies to those that called me at the start and with whom I needed  
a couple of goes on average to copy you through this idiot.
When I moved, he moved with me.  And he checked back occasionally to  
check I wasn't back there.

I noticed there was more anti-contest jamming and talk in general  
recently both during CQ WPX SSB last weekend and during the SP DX  
contest this last weekend.   Seems to be an increasing problem.

Oh well... I expect whatever they do on the bands is far more important!

So only 66 Qs for me this time and I suspect a few of those were  
miscopies ... Thanks to those who tried to work me and persevered.
