[UK-CONTEST] RSGB CC (cw) - 18th Feb

[Alex GM3ZBE]

Snap!  Exactly the same experience from here Stewart, most unusual from 
here to be able to work G's and longer distance EU at the same time.  I 
had much the same country spread as you.  Usually when G's are strong 
with each other we GM's have to squeeze between the cracks where English 
stations are +40dB with each other - but not last night, I was able to 
run G's and EU the whole contest.

For the whole 90 minutes I had good propagation from all over the UK as well as throughout EU from I to SM, DL to UA. All signals were good strengths and I managed to run for the bulk of the contest; there was no sign of the usual later shift from inter-G to longer skip GM/EU.
