[UK-CONTEST] 5NN TU

[terry burbidge]

The recent thread regarding '5NN' instead of a 'meaningful report' was in my
mind this week operating from 5B4. When quiet I did try to give a realistic
report and some station info but during the pile-ups it would have been
totally unproductive. When you have half of Russia and most of Southern and
Eastern Europe calling you and eventually pick one out, nothing more than
'5NN TU' is expected or required. I barely had time to hit the return key
and copy the next station let alone look at the S meter or judge if the
station was S7 or S9. Was it Roger SXW who commented that it sets the rhythm
or was that just for contesting? Well, in a pile-up 5NN TU works a treat.

 

Cheers,
