Hello all
Thanks to everyone for the QSOs in CQ WW CW - I enjoyed this contest much
more than the SSB leg, despite poorer conditions. If interested, see my
3830 posting for GM7V SOAB HP Unassisted :

Great to hear so much activity from Iceland - used to be difficult to work
TF/Zone 40 but very easy on most bands last weekend.
Jim MM0BQI asked - do people want to be spotted ? Yes please - every 10
minutes throughout the contest if possible - nowadays a lot of people seem
to have forgotten what their 'tuning' dial is for - you turn it and surprise
surprise you find a new station or new mult that you have not worked before
! If you do this regularly, you start finding mults which have *not* been
spotted so you can work them much more easily and quickly.
As GM7V was 100% unassisted last weekend, you really notice who the good
operators are and who the duds are - top marks to e.g. PJ4A for identifying
after every QSO almost - zero marks to V5/DJ4SO - I wasted 5 minutes waiting
for him to ID despite an eventual barrage of ??? from myself and many
others. Arrogant and counter-productive operating at its worst. OK - rant
over.
