[UK-CONTEST] 1st 1.8 CW - G3BJ

[Don Beattie]

What a strange contest. Long skip from the start, and many of the "regulars" absent.

I assume the A index at 18 did not help, but conditions were not up to much here in the Shropshire Hills. Lots of Ws/VEs and of course the PAs. But after a good start things really slowed, and even S&P produced limited success. Not a JA in sight.

Managed to keep my freq (1824.20) all evening, but then there did not seem too much about to put it at risk.

End result was 208 Qs with 41 districts and 25 DXCC. Score (according to WinTest - as yet unchecked manually) is 954. Sounds pretty poor to me.

Hope others had more success.
