[UK-CONTEST] 2nd 1.8 - Keep your ears open!

[Peter Hobbs]

Certainly will Roger!  Also look out for VE3CUI who usually takes the 
trouble to come up for these events but has sometimes been a marginal 
signal in the past, running modest power.  He tends to call in rather 
than spending a lot of time CQing and hears well, so give it a go!

73, Peter G3LET.

I am certainly likely to hear better than the average G station - but one the other hand I am allowed a lot more power and I have a big transmit antenna so it should be fairly reciprocal!
