[UK-CONTEST] Gonna write me a letter

[QUENTIN COLLIER]

Oh but of course Geoff. Sadly I can't tell you the callsign or the IOTA 
reference or I would be guilty of soliciting contacts - but look for a beer 
related callsign from the Deep South (of the UK)....

Actually it's our first crack at a trip away for IOTA so it will be interesting!

73,




Quin G3WRR

I hope all you guys are going to practice what you preach and come on for
IOTA next weekend.
