[UK-CONTEST] 432MHz AFS - How Was It For You?

[David Barber]

For the first time in probably 20 years plus I ventured down to the
terrestrial end of 70cm for the AFS contest today.

Conditions appeared not good with deep QSB and much multi-path propagation
even on a local station.

Happy to say I worked everything I could hear (which was not much!) except
for a PE1 and one other station which I didn't call as I didn't want to end
up with the unlucky number of 13 contacts!

Still at least it was an excuse to elevate the mast and I guess I can
probably claim the lowest number of stations heard / worked.

The range 432.196MHz to 432.209MHz was virtually unusable due to various
nasty data signals and other permanent carriers were noted at 432.164, .227,
.257, and .293 all to the west of me.

Thanks to those I worked.
