[UK-CONTEST] BERU 09

[gm4fam at tiscali.co.uk]

Disappointed with the negative GB5CC comments - Steve / Quinn did a 
very fine job - and many thanks guys for trying twice to fill the 
missing 15m bonus gap here.

Another improved score here this year and gradually getting the hang 
of when to take the off times - have now resorted to switching the rig 
off during breaks cos there is nothing worse than hearing a juicy bonus 
halfway thru the enforced down time!

Very disappointing 10 and 15m conditions more than made up for by 
those on 20 thru 80, and some enormous sigs from the usual culprits.
40m was outstanding all day saturday, especially early on and between 
1600-2000z - went very mushy for a couple of hours after that but was 
reliable thru the night.

And I echo the thanks to Dave BUO for his efforts on getting various 
sought-after countries on the air - it was quite an experience to put a 
VU in the log without the bonus claim - just great to hear so many 
Indian stations on.

Was it just me or did others find that Chris's sigs from ZL4CT were 
much louder and more consistent than any other ZL station on 80 and 40?
