M0TDG: CQWW CW 2006
Tim Grant · 31 December 2006For some years now, whilst CUWS has been regularly fielding teams for the major phone contests in the amateur radio contesting calendar, there has been little representation in CW contests.

Heimaey is the largest and the only populated island of the Westman Islands which all count for EU-071. The group of...
IARU HF World Championships 2005
Thomas Wootten · 21 October 2006After a strong start and, rather unusually, having been ready for the contest before it began, our entry into the HF World championships ended with a disappointingly low score. Software and equipment problems (apologies to those who heard our morse software doing an impression of a heart monitor monitoring someone...
ARRL DX Phone 2005
Thomas Wootten · 21 October 2006We were lacking a multiplier station due to lack of operators for this contest so there was no chance of putting up a competitive score but we still put in a Multi/Single entry. Conditions were very poor this year and this further reduced our score with a final claimed score...
