[UK-CONTEST] 50MhzAC

[Alex GM3ZBE]

I've just given up on this contest (21:25z) - over two hours to work 10 
stations!  A number of G stations are either very deaf or running huge 
power, I am running 400W  and I can't even get a qrz out of some 
stations, e.g. M0MAT I must have called him 20 times before we 
eventually scraped a qso, he was a genuine Q5 signal here all the time 
here in IO86.

Don't know if I will bother again, don't think I could stand the stress ;-)
