Re: WAP - Worked all Postcodes
Yes. Lets sked.
Its an interesting challenge. Glad you answered my unasked question, what makes a postcode. The first two letters.
Does the event have an end point or is it running in perpetuity?

Re: WAP - Worked all Postcodes
I wonder why theres a max power of 10 watts? Good luck with THAT on 1296 (or any of them). Still, I shall have a bash. A REAL cards too!! This isnt a wind up from 1982 is it??

Re: WAP - Worked all Postcodes
As I am sure there is not going to be an active amateur, willing to participate in the venture, in every available post code. I can only assume the "gaps" an will be filled by yet another batch of "have a go mobiles" meticulously driving around from rare post code to rare post code, calling in as they arrive, (to some "cherry picked frequency", they end up sort of thinking they own), "net controller", who religiously passes interested souls round the "call the mobile, worked all post codes net", one at a time? All of course completely oblivious to the totally unnecessary increase in car derived air pollution, just for the sake of the latest must get the award on the shelf offering. Just resulting in some sad fart ticking off one more of the 1.7 million of them! I am sure it will attract many, these sorts of often pointless side avenues of the hobby, often do!

WAB is ok to a point, but the waffle is better. the ones that have interesting subjects.and of course DX chasing. 73 mark.
