[UK-CONTEST] 21/28MHz Contest

[Darren G0TSM]

This was a very disappointing day for me. I felt like I was another 
Eurovision song contest 'Nil Point'!
On both bands 9++ W's were all around me and no one called. Those that 
did only gave a report or a very low serial number. To be really honest 
I actually get a higher QSO rate by calling CQ and chatting. I got about 
half way through the day and wondered if I should bother carrying on, I 
actually felt really gutted considering the strength of my 'skimmed 
SNRs' when CQing on CW. Adding RSGB to the CQ helped a little but not 
that much. If this contest does run next year I think I would like to 
try it from the DX end.

Mixed mode with cluster hindrance so multi-op
313 QSOs with lots of dupes. One station must have called me a dozen or 
more times.
69 mults - I think! the log didnt work well...
