[UK-CONTEST] ROPOCO2 G3BJ

[David Potter]

Hi Rob

as I was the first to comment = yes I was well aware of your smileys and I
took it in the spirit it was meant.
Unfortunately I didn't put smileys on my reply but it was meant in the same
vein. I haven't been in the game as long as most
but I have come to realise that not all dimensions of contesting appeal to
all. I do the contests that I enjoy and avoid the others, ROPOCO being one
of them.

There are too few of us to be divided. :-))  - there I've managed to do one
of the dang things.

73 Dave (M0VBY)
