[UK-CONTEST] Train of thought leading up to ... 144MHz CW

[Laurence Mason]

David,

According to your claimed score VARC lost 10% through adjudication. When 
the UBN comes out you can see if this is down to errors in which case 
there are things you can do about it without moving site. It was very 
close on claimed scores at the top of 2m.

If you can be that good on 2, then as others have said, 70cms should be 
possible. 6m can be an hf type contest so location is far less critical. 
4m location is traditionally critical - SW or GM has always been 
popular. These days some other countries have 4m so who knows it might 
change.

Don't give up on field day (any of them) if nothing else it is a useful 
training event to show new comers how to put a station together and the 
rest of us will miss the familiar club calls that we work year after 
year and know which club or group they are.
