[UK-CONTEST] 21/28 MHZ - C4Z

[Dave Sergeant]

I didn't participate in this event as I was out most of the morning, so 
only had a few QSOs. Activity didn't seem very high to me and apart 
from a small number of W and UA stations there seemed little support 
outside the UK. After all, 150-200 QSOs is not much for a 12 hour 
event!

Peter, I heard you right at the end of the contest calling CQ and then 
being challenged that the contest had finished. Correct, it had. Your 
five second countdown ended precisely at 1901z!
