[UK-CONTEST] CQ160 SSB date

[Roger G3SXW]

Hello Don,
No, I don't do this contest. But in CQWWCW our 160m per band UBN rate is 
normally about double compared to the other five bands, around two point 
something percent compared to one point something.

As for Dupes, maybe there is more potential on this band compared to others 
for partial QSOs remaining unlogged when QRM/QRN/QSB/Deliberate 
Jamming/Continuous Callers get in the way: if they don't hear the TU reply 
perhaps they don't log it.
73 de Roger/G3SXW.
