[UK-CONTEST] GB7HQ - Thanks

I think that you and the rest of the GB7HQ team did a fantastic job. The
coordination effort was significant in itself - without the problems with
the prevailing poor propagation. Even better was the operating skill that I
witnessed at first hand.

As a "weak G" it took me some time to work GB7HQ - particularly on the
higher bands. I did just about manage it - but not on 10m CW - but with my
barefoot set-up and wire doublet aerial - all credit goes to the ops who
pulled my pathetic signal out of the noise.

Congratulations to all. Lets hope your blown-up radio and amp(s) weren't in
vain.......

As coordinator for GB7HQ I'd like to thank all the UK reflectorites who
came on and supported us. We had a ball, and were pretty pleased with
the performance given the poor conditions. My station was mainly used
for 15 SSB, and I think I'm right in saying we didn't work JA at all on
the band. HQ stations further east into Europe will have worked plenty.

We're very grateful for all the QSOs, and if you'd like to apply for the
award please see the details on  www.gb7hq.com  - also have a look at
the pictures which will be uploaded over the next day or two.

I can't give even a rough score because although almost all of the
stations were connected over the Internet almost all of the time, we
have a lot of log merging to do. Murphy set up home in west Kent this
year and I lost one rig and three linears, one after another, plus a PC
crash so the 15m log is on three separate machines and in addition Simon
2E0CVN had to log 42 QSOs onto paper. I'm very heartened to know that
someone as young as he is knows how to log on paper!

Thanks again for all the QSOs
