[UK-CONTEST] AFS-SSB ... 3As... G3TXF, G3WVG

[QUENTIN COLLIER]

So I guess you could say you were not flushed with success in this one Peter ?!

I do sympathise as a fellow middle aged male (was going to say "gentleman", but must be realistic about these things)......personally for the SSB event from the home QTH, in which I am not competitive (97 QSOs, all S&P), I don't mind taking a break. But for the CW leg, for which I operate from a better QTH and which I do take seriously, I keep a suitable container to hand......but so far I have not found it necessary to use it (yet).

73,




Quin G3WRR

I'm always in awe of you blokes who can sit for four hours in single 
op contests and work  over 100 an hour with apparently no need of one 
or two toilet stops!!!

Maybe it's my age (just inside the "twilight zone" now") but those 
cups of tea and biscuits my dear wife brings me during contests only 
serve to lose me valuable points as I run from my basement shack up to 
the loo at least once an hour :-) What's the secret chaps... a tube 
and a plastic bag :-)  ?

Only 257 by the way .. I made the fatal mistake of leaving the run 
freq at 3pm for a toilet stop only to finds it taken by another G when 
I got back!
