[UK-CONTEST] Gonna write me a letter

[Ken Chandler]

Hi Quin
I have not been on iow for years.
I tend to run solo iota from home. I like the unassisted category.
Having been dead against skimmer, I'm now learning and using the technology though limited resources at the mo.
I would like to do an exotic location for Iota contest so I'm open if anyone wants a CW op.
