[UK-CONTEST] 80m CC CW Tonight - any reports?

[MM0BQI]

Hi Stewart
Conditions and activity seemed good from here in the centre of Edinburgh.
I worked almost everyone I could hear with signals getting louder towards 
the end.
51 Qs on my loaded 'garden special' dipole is not too bad for me!
I tried a quick experiment (in the snow) with a short vertical and a couple 
of radials located at the bottom of the garden and this seemed to pick up 
less local QRM so I may think about developing that over the next week or 
so.  My main problem is hearing signals above the local noise so this may be 
a good way to improve things.
