[UK-CONTEST] RSGB 1st 1.8 MHz Contest

[Steef PA2A]

Hi,

Tnx fer all contacts on 1.8 MHz during the PACC Contest. For us it is always nice to have the UK activity on topband during our PACC contest. Without the WPX RTTY taking place the scores would be even higher. After the contest the RTTY segments were crowded with many missing multipliers. In South America. CE, LU and PY provide us with ten multipliers each.

I created a log and generated the Cabrillo file. I can 't test it but maybe it will be accepted by the robot. As from 2011 a Dutch station may be worked on different modes on one band so please use a new version of the contest software. Many foreign hams have used old software and were sending QSOB4 after changing the mode.

This is the Cabrillo header Win-test generates for DX stations:

  I liked the way it shoe-horned with the PACC to give a bit more action

  It would have been nice if a few of those non PAs in the PA contest
  calling CQ would have been prepared to give a 59 73 to provide
  a mult rather than PA only, particularly those getting no other
  replies.

  ... and yes it would have been very quiet on the SSB end if the PAs
  were not there.
