With 10W SSB and a 2m big-wheel omni I usually struggle in the 70cm UKAC (activity contest), but I usually manage a few contacts. Last night was different.
Firstly, the impression I had was there were fewer people on. This could partly be due to the holiday season and people being away.
Also those that were on I could not work. After about 20 minutes I just gave up having worked nobody! Perhaps the combination of higher local noise and fewer people make all the difference to QRP stations like mine.
I should be on the 70cm UKAC next month. We'll see.
