[UK-CONTEST] 2m Backpackers Contest

[Richard Newstead]

The recent rule changes to incorporate a real Backpackers section is 
very welcome - thanks VHFcc.

Several SOTA stations were on and I have suggested that they submit 
entries although I suspect that they will not because they will only 
have been on for short time. That being said, the contest may well have 
been the thing that encouraged them to take 2m SSB so that's no bad thing.

Must be contest-alley where I was as I could see two more contest 
stations from my spot. One was strong enough to overload my "parrot" by 
direct pick-up from the headset lead (not RF coming down the feeder). 
That was surprising as it does not overload with RF at home or when I 
use a 100W 2m SSB system in the car.
