[UK-CONTEST] 3rd Jan 80m CC [CW]

[Andy Summers]

Hi Chris,

Actually, I thought there was a real dearth of slower CW. As a fairly slow
op myself, I decided to spend the first hour CQ-ing near the QRS frequency -
at about 15wpm. Not much came back, although that first hour there was
little inter-G propagation from Cambridge.

Most of the activity was much lower down the band, and I presume the faster
ops don't want to waste precious time working the slow ones. I had hoped
that I might solicit calls from other slow ops too scared to call the fast
ops. That didn't happen.

Whilst I absolutely love the 80mCC events, it does worry me a bit that they
replaced the QRS cumulatives, which I think did more for my CW than 80mCC.

73 Andy, G4KNO.
