[UK-CONTEST] 2nd 160m Contest

[Peter Hobbs]

Thanks Roger - you were the first in with an excellent signal, but as 
you say propagation was disappointing  and fell away soon after your 
sunset.  We had some sharp showers which cut everything out from time to 
time, so your "misses" might have been due to that.  The highlight was a 
15 minute dawn opening to JA with some very good signals at the peak, 
which was (at least for me) unusual in this event.  Been thinking of 
another SB 160 bash in WW so - next week.

As always, many thanks to you, VE3CUI and some other VEs for your 
regular support of a far away domestic event.
73, Peter G3LET

A few of the G signals were very loud indeed at times - GM3POI, G3XTT, G4TSH, G3OLB, G3TBK, G3BJ and some others.
