[UK-CONTEST] 50MHz UKAC - 23 Feb

[Alex GM3ZBE]

Looks like I maybe picked a bad evening - I might give it a go again on 
the next AC.
Thanks for the qso's I did get.

I know that 23 QSOs and 7 squares isn't considered a lot compared to some but we're in a very poor condition for 50MHz, even though we're in what might be thought of as a prime location in JO01 by the seaside but it's really awful for six.
