UKAC contest - 70cms
This evening being the second Tuesday of the month is the first 70cm leg of the monthly UKAC activity contests. The contest runs from 2000z to 2230z However, I have a problem. My antenna (5 el) is stuck aiming SW. I'll give the contest a brief go, but with 5W, being unable turn the antenna and my poor voice I don't think I shall be on too long!
UPDATE 2130z: I was on for only 1 hour (poor voice!) but, at this time of year, most activity was from fixed stations. Even with a beam fixed in a SW direction, I managed to work 5 stations with 5W on 70cms. Best DX this evening was G3MEH (84km) in IO91QS although I was copying further. By next month the beam should be rotatable again and there may be more /P activity I hope. One of the stations heard (but not worked) was my old university colleague G3XBY who was giving a JO02 locator, so I am wondering if Dale has retired not too far from here?

Hi Roger,
I was in the G2XV (CDARC) shack this evening. I was not operating at the time you worked us (that was David G6KWA), but it was good to hear you.

This time it was good to work G2XV! I was considerably handicapped by my low power,fixed beam and poor voice! Nonetheless, fun. I always enjoy my brief UKAC forays.
