[UK-CONTEST] SO or is it SO

[Steve GW4BLE]

Just dabbling a bit here in the EUHFC yesterday, oblivious to any 'assisted' category. My only concern being the restriction on band changes, not ideal for SO2R, which was the main reason for getting on.

My activity was SSB so a 'phone' RBN will hopefully be some time away yet !
