[UK-CONTEST] Re the 80m CC's

[cris at gm4fam.plus.com]

Apologies to anyone I might have QRMd trying to get TJ9PF on 80 rtty last
nite - I did try and stick to one calling frequency but the RTTY portion
of the band resembled CQWW RTTY at its busiest ):

Thankfully I got through after only a few calls but the pileup must have
been challenging for CC contesters later on when it was full of loud EU
callers trying to get that elusive DX contact.
