[UK-CONTEST] CQ160 SSB date

[Don Beattie]

Well done Dave. I don't envy anyone doing QRP in this one, although I see
from the 3830 post from K9AY that he did, and he was a good signal here.
Thanks for the QSO, BTW.

Your comment about dupes causes me to remember that I meant to comment on
this. Did anyone else notice that, proportionately, the number of dupes was
very high in this contest ? Perhaps it was just me, but I had 2.4% dupes
(i.e. they called me). Surely this can't be due to paper loggers, so I
suspect the callsign error rate must be very high in this contest. Can
anyone of the previous participants comment on what their c/s error rate was
from the UBNs ?

73

Don, G3BJ
