2m UKAC activity contest this evening

A reminder that as the first Tuesday of the month, tonight is the 2m leg of the RSGB actvity contest from 2000-2230z. I am about to have a go with 5W and my big-wheel horizontal omni antenna.

UPDATE 2130z:  Five stations worked in 4 QTH locator squares, although I also heard stations in France and Belgium that were not worked. I was active for less than an hour because of my poor voice.  I find working speech modes very hard these days. Best DX was 172km.  Most of the QSOs were at 2.5W,  although the best DX, on the south coast, was with 5W pep.  Antenna was my big-wheel horizontal omni.

Stations worked on 2m this evening with 5W or less to omni antenna
