December on the radio

G4UDU Phil
 

Here is something to keep you occupied on the radio

Its all in the UK but harder than it first looks due to the daily changing propagation - work all the stations on each of the modes - or just choose to do maybe one mode.

I am starting with CW & SSB and I may do data depending on the RTTY and PSK activity

Bronze award is not to challenging - I am up to 22 slots and we are still on day 2 and we have till the end of December
