[UK-CONTEST] AFS - fewer key-clickers?

[Nigel G3TXF]

Hello Ian,

Interesting comment on the lack of the much loved
key-clickers during AFS..... G3TXF recently replaced his
clicky un-moded FT-1k-MP with a K3.... no doubt this has
contributed in some small way to the sad demise of those
delightful clix! Sorry about that.

I could only manage a couple of hours but managed 78
contacts.  My CW is getting better and I thoroughly enjoyed
it.  The time just flew by.  The K3 was great and the
signals were just popping out of the band :)  Thanks to all
who worked me.  This was my first real attempt at AFS and I
will be back!  One thing that was noticeable was the lack of
stations with key clicks this time.  Only once did I work a
station and have to ask for the number 3 times because of
bad clicks from an adjacent station.
Thanks once again for a fun afternoon and although I will be
in the SSB leg next week, I can't see it being as much fun!
