[UK-CONTEST] AFS - operating out of band

I'd abandoned yesterday's contest to family duties but in the end found I was able to steal into the shack for a few short periods and give away some casual points.

I'd 'read' the rules and noticed they differed with CC in that there was no gap in the frequency allocation but failed to spot the difference in the upper limit (3.750 instead of 3.775 MHz). So on one visit I spent a few minutes running on 3.752 before someone pointed out my mistake...G3VIP I think it was - thanks. Apologies to the half dozen stations I worked and who may/will lose the points; I suppose they're not totally blameless for replying to a caller who is clearly out of band?

Casual participation is no excuse for not reading the rules carefully.....

73,

Stewart, GW0ETF
