I was interested to read Ray, GM4CXM's post on the subject of the 2m contest
that took place this weekend. Splitting my 6-hour single op entry between
Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, I enjoyed the event despite never
being overly busy. I also felt that postcode mults helped to promote
inter-UK activity, although there were some East Coast portables who were
relying more on working Continents than beaming towards the UK and working
more mults.
I didn't go on FM to elicit local QSOs, because such people would be very
unlikely to work anyone else in the contest and I would be concerned about
having too many unique calls in my log. Maybe the Contest Committee could
comment on whether they consider working locals on FM as within the spirit
of the contest, if these people don't work anyone else.
QSOs: 98
Countries: 6
Postcode mults: 61
Claimed score: 1,516,545
Best DX: GM8OEG in IO86NM, 639km
