[UK-CONTEST] The first 144MHz UKAC of 2010

[Ian Burns]

For the first time in many months I had no power line noise to contend 
with so could hear some of the weaker stuff to the east that I'm sure 
that I normally miss. Listening around before the start of the contest 
conditions seemed below average with all of the beacons down on usual. 
Ran for the first hour then S&P for most of the next hour. Stopped 
before 22:00 due to site access restrictions.

Only one GM this time despite the antenna pointing up country for much 
of the time. One EI, GD, GW, two GI's, two ON's, four PA's, 10 DL's. All 
the rest G's. Some of the DL's were surprisingly strong.

Worked nothing in IO82,84,93, or 94, perhaps they were all beaming north 
looking for GM's.

Finished up with 95 Q's in 22 locators.

FT1000MP, JavornikII, 400W, 2x17.

Happy New Year.
