[UK-CONTEST] Serials and call not copied

[Chris G3SJJ]

Probably was SO2V Alex. If you detect the slightest carrier on your run 
freq you have to abort the 2nd vfo QSO, switch to main vfo tx and hit F1 
very quickly. You can always try that station again a little later after 
re-establishing your original freq. Done it numerous times over the last 
10 years or so, very occasionally it doesn't work and you lose your run 
freq! Often the success of a 2nd vfo QSO depends on how slick the other 
operator is. In AFS / 80 CC I tend only to call those I feel confident 
will respond without attaching my call to their exchange or any other 
unnecessary stuff!

I wasn't on last night but saw the Skimmer spots. Seems quite busy. 
Still recuperating after emergency retina detachment surgery and not 
able to look up for any length of time.

73 Squinting SJJ !
