The annual IRTS 80m Counties Contest on New Years Day seemed to be pretty busy this year with lots of EI stations on the band. I'm not all that interested in contests but anything that gets EI stations on the air and communicating with each other is a good thing.
The highest contact number I heard was around 100 which is well up up on 78 which was the highest last year.
I didn't bother calling CQ and just went up and down the band giving away points. All said and done, I worked 26 stations and 6 of these were on CW.
It's been ages since I have used morse but it was nice to give the key a rattle again. I'm as rusty as anything but it's something I must get back into again.
