[UK-CONTEST] GB7HQ 160m Ph

[Jim G3RTE]

I was very impressed with the guys Saturday afternoon. They were calling CQ 
and getting no answers.  160 was the last band slot I needed for a full CW 
house.  I thought I would call on ssb and ask them to give me a CW qso. 
Called many times on ssb but got nowhere. I did get a qrz?. Called on CW and 
got an answer. They changed to CW and a 100% qso took place.  Just proves 
CW's advantage over SSB.

Well done to all.
