[UK-CONTEST] UKAC Contests.

[Dave Sergeant]

I have not done any of the UKACs for quite a while, being really an HF 
CW man and with only a vertical and FT290 for 2m it is not really worth 
the effort. But when I did do them, I thought the 10.30pm finish time 
far too late - with my set up I had worked everybody I was going to 
work in the first hour. The 80m CCs manage quite well with a 90 minute 
slot and the sprints are now just 60 minutes which has gone down well 
with many entrants.
