[UK-CONTEST] SSB Club Championships

[Thomas Cannon]

I was very disappointed with my final score last night in the SSB Club Championships. After seeing such big scores in the QRP section in the last few months, I thought I stood a good chance with the set up I have.

I wasted allot of time trying to call CQ with no reply, then went S/P with not much luck. Only 32 contacts.

The rig was an FT897 and 10W into a Full size G5RV at about 30 feet,  also use a Heil Pro Plus head set. The antenna fires North / South so I thought I would get out quite well. 

Thanks for all the comments on the Antenna, next time I will try a dedicated dipole for 80M and see if that helps.
