[UK-CONTEST] 144 UK AC

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Ah now I remember, yes - and even then I thought - I'm challenged  
enough, why would I help the competition - most of the 'runners' are  
in double figures before I've even started, and it’s a logarithmic  
progression for them and a linear one for me - or at least that's what  
it feels like :-(
