2m UKAC contest tonight

A reminder that the RSGB's 2m UKAC (activity) contest is tonight from 1900-2130z (i.e it starts at 8pm UK clock time).  Activity levels are good in these contests. Next Tuesday it is the 70cm contest, but I fear I'll miss that as we have visitors next week.

Not sure how long my poor voice will hold out this evening. Last month I managed 90 minutes (10 QSOs) before I had to stop because of my poor, stroke damaged, voice. We'll see this evening. Talking in a contest is very hard for me at present, which is one reason I use WSPR a lot.

I shall be running 5W to my small, hand rotated, 3 element beam from the home QTH (JO02dg). I doubt I shall come other than near the bottom, but it's fun nonetheless.
