[UK-CONTEST] The contest "exchange"....

[Giles Herbert]

Hello

 

You may find some inspiration at Mark's web site  www.g4fph.net.  Here you will find a bit of Amateur Radio History in the form of the worked all CChip Shps Award.  I have also come across someone who was thwarted in their attempt to start the " Worked all Kebab Shops Award" when his oppo predeceased the start.
