[UK-CONTEST] Gonna write me a letter

[QUENTIN COLLIER]

I couldn't possibly comment about EU120 Ken....but we will be far enough away 
from Newbury (assuming they are at or near their site from last year) that 
mutual QRM shouldn't be a problem - we'll only be using 100W to a wire antenna.

We won't be using RBN or skimmer - but are still pondering whether or not to try 
a read only link from DX cluster We've never tried assisted before and I fear it 
might change the feel of the contest (as another correspondent has commented): 
but with mults being important (unlike NFD) it's certainly worth thinking about. 


Anyway, hope to work you.

73,



Quin WRR
