[UK-CONTEST] UK-Contest Digest, Vol 102, Issue 9

[Peter Hobbs]

The event clearly had something going for it, with over 100 entries, 
mostly fielding two separate stations, with even some shirtsleeves in 
evidence (in the provinces of course!). 

I guess many of these guys will have recently returned from a service 
life and so the experience will have been very familiar.  The demise of 
National Service has a lot to answer for . . .
