GW7X - Multi Single (at GW4BLE) -------------------------------   With my main antennas off the tower for maintenance, and the possible re-occurrence of PLA QRM ever present (coincidence or not, it did rear its ugly head again over the weekend), any entry in this year’s contest was going to be low key.   Thanks to Ian G3WVG, who kindly offered loan of the beam used at MW5A in CQWW-CW, and with agreement of the Contest Cambria team, I thought it would be a good idea to air GW7X and invite some aspiring local contesters around for some experience. As it worked out, only Andy MW0MWZ was able to make it and then for just Saturday afternoon – a sore throat (too much shouting?) and flu put paid to any operation on Sunday thus leaving a void of some three hours+ on the second day with no-one in the chair...      If you worked us, audio playback and log search (plus a Youtube video (!) is available here (it's a shortened 'tiny URL') :   http://goo.gl/Y1tOU     73,     Steve GW4BLE    -- GW4BLE
