2nd 50MHz Contest 2010

Es openings into Italy benefited some stations further north but otherwise there was fairly universal agreement that this contest suffered from poor conditions and low activity, leading one to wonder where all the Tuesday night 6m UKAC stations were.

G4FJK/P mentioned this, but clearly had some compensation; "An early start on site, listening to stags calling across Exmoor before dawn while I set up, then glorious sunshine."

Congratulations to GM4ZUK/P and G0EHV/P heading section O and G4KUX and G3ZVW in section SF, who all earn certificates.

Thanks to G7TXC for a checklog.
