[UK-CONTEST] ROPOCO G3YHV

[Colin Chidgey]

Well that was interesting !
My first attempt at ROPOCO and I enjoyed it.
I decided to use my homebrew  crystal controlled valve TX.
I only had crystals for 3548 and 3536 so was unable to s&p
however that seemed to work to my advantage - forcing me to use
a run frequency !
The TX used a 6V6 oscillator driving an EL37 PA - about 20 Watts out.
The main parts in the TX are older than me, and I am 58 !
If anybody has any old cw crystals in the junk box don't bung them out
but let me have them, at BS11 9TX !

I made 39 Qso's and will definitely be doing ROPOCO again.
