>> Thanks to the organisers and to everyone for the Q's
>> I just didn't seem to have the enthusiasm this weekend
>> and was content with CQ'ing into the ether and watching
>> sport and films on the TV, this lack of interest resulted
>> in a third less Q's than last year.
>> I even tried a few PSK31 Q's to try to get myself motivated
>> but to no avail.
>> Hope that I can regenerate my enthusiasm b4 the CQWW 160
>> and BARTG Sprint weekend!!
>> Condx were pretty good, although I didn't venture around
>> the bands much.
>> Best hour was 76.
>> Highlight of the contest was being apprehended and cautioned
>> by a CW Band policeman {who was using RTTY} when I strayed
>> onto 7032 in the hopes of working some JA's.
>> He said that the police were out in force and that any
>> transgressors would be entered into his little black book
>> and their names and callsigns would later be published on
>> a ''page of shame'' in Radcom.
>> So, if you also strayed be prepared to see your name and
>> callsign published on the shameless page.
>> Lucky for me my call starts with a Z so I shud be at the
>> bottom of the list of possibly hundreds of shameless ones,
>> and people will have got bored reading it by the time they
>> reach me.
>> The police as he said were out in force and were using RTTY
>> to send a load of gibberish between 7030 and 7035, presumably
>> to deter contesters. Guess it worked as I moved up band only
>> to find myself among the SSB guys where I couldn't find a clear
>> spot to continue my lacklustre CQ'ing.
>> Surely with a band stretching from 7000 to 7200 we could make
>> a bit more provision for CW and especially RTTY in the Bandplans.
>>
>> 73 and hope to cu on the unfeasibly narrow RTTY bands. Steve.
