[UK-CONTEST] 21/28 MHZ - C4Z

[Peter Hobbs]

Well done - an excellent effort Brian!  10 did sound pretty good between 
5B4 and UK but from a UK viewpoint it still has a good way to go, with 
less than half the QSOs and mults compared to 15 here.

I hope a lesson has been learned in publicising the demise of this event 
- the TRC people clearly saw the upcoming vacant slot and pounced!

Luckily the two aren't entirely incompatible - many QSOs were treated to 
dual exchanges, often both ways and always with good humour.  Later on, 
CQP helped things along for the UK stations, although in most cases you 
had to go looking.  I didn't stray above the CW bandslot, but perhaps 
others can comment on any impact from the Oceania SSB contest.
