I’d heard them talking about the UKAC Contests so I decided to go to the shack to see what was happening.

On Tuesday it was the 70cms contest and when I got there Steve M5ZZZ and Marc M7DEU were in full swing, Mary M6SWZ arrived a little later. Best dx of the evening was G3UDA at a distance of 166km.

On Thursday it was 6 metres, a band I haven’t worked for over 30 years. Again Mary, Marc and Steve were busy by the time I arrrived. I actually helped with this contest, I was in charge of the rotator. Our best dx on 6m was YL2SM, 1784km.
