First Contest of 2008

Yesterday a few of our members took part in the Affiliated Societies Team Contest. This was a short 4 hour contest on 80m and a nice way to ease back into contesting for 2008. For once this was not a serious effort to compete with other clubs but a chance to get back in the swing and also to give one of the intermediate students chance to get a feel for what contesting is all about. It was a good contest and conditions were reasonable with plenty of stations taking part!
