[UK-CONTEST] AFS.

[Dave Sergeant]

Stewart is correct, AFS unlike the CCs allows full legal power (400W).

Working real DX in this event adds another aspect to it. The average 
entrant with wire antennas will largely work inter-G as that is the aim 

of the contest, and the majority worked 150 or so, with the leaders 
around 250. There is no incentive to work DX until you run out of G 
stations as there are no multipliers. Only the bigger stations with 
antennas most of us can only dream about will work the DX. I gather 
G3PIQ worked 9M6XRO in the bedlam pileup around 3510 - very nice DX and 

congrats, but he could have worked another G across the road for the 
same points!

Anyway, here at G3YMC I managed 139, but the only one outside of the UK 

was Paul EI5DI - sorry it took so long Paul but conditions did not seem 

that brilliant. Good fun and I never really ran out of stations to 
work.
