Encouraged by the postings on here about setting up for
RAEM, I did the first three hours of the RAEM Contest this
morning (02z-05z), but didn't hear or work a single G. Loads
of UA9s on 80m. Interestingly I was one of the very few
stations I heard that had a Latitude ending in a W (West).
Nearly everyone else taking part had a Latitude ending in O
(Ost=East). Really enjoyable having a CW Contest where you
have to stay alert and copy the exchange. Although once you
got into the swing of it, copying the LONG/LAT exchanges was
pretty straightforward, as they all fall into a nice
pattern.
