[UK-CONTEST] AFS Contest Etiquette

[Chris G3SJJ]

I think I heard that one Dave. Quite amusing. Another smile I had was 
QSO between to ageing G3s (not me!) Numerous repeats of the serial 
number were requested and each time the reply was different. I think the 
correct number was 124, but I heard 122 and 123 as well as 124. Like, 
5nn 124, 5nn 123?, 5nn 122, 5nn 124?, No 5nn 123 etc, I left them to it!
