[UK-CONTEST] May 2m Contest

[John Lemay]

Good morning all

Colchester Contest Group will be active for the May 2m contest from the east
coast. Certainly hope to work IO66, and as many other northern squares and
post codes as possible.

We managed to get one array up late yesterday, but got a little distracted
by a search and rescue helicopter landing in the same field, and then
carrying out a cliff-top sortie.

KST? Well, we might be watching. Truth is, it's as much a hindrance as a
benefit. There's self-spotting, incorrect calls or locators, requests for
skeds at ridiculous distances and spots from afar which are of no relevance
at 2m.

Regards

John G4ZTR (G0VHF/P, M1CRO/P)

Further to Ray's message I'll be active in the contest from IO66OM (PA
Postcode).  Square is semi-rare.  Given the tropo forecast, unless things
change dramatically in the next 24hrs I don't expect to work further than
mainland UK, or maybe North West France.  If I can get internet connection
by mobile phone I'll be lurking on DXCluster and ON4KST.

Expect to be QRV for a couple of hours on Saturday evening and about four
hours from 0600local on Sunday.  Not expecting to have a competitive entry
from that far north (South Coast G is 750-800Km) hence my KST use and
checklog only.

Hope to give the square away to as many as possible.

TR751, 400w, CC 17B2, Landwehr pre-amp (if I can get sequencer reset in
time).  144.233ish.
