Hi Roger,
Topband propagation to Europe was about as good as it gets this weekend,
except Sunday night when it was significantly depressed. I compared
your signal to the three other UK stations who were calling CQ at the
end of the contest The strongest were GM5X and GW5R, both
consistently about one S-unit stronger than you and G5W who was
consistently just a few dB stronger. Your signals was about 569
during the entire time, good easy copy on clear frequencies.

I had forgotten it was a multiband contest, so I now appreciate that's why
less NA stations are on calling CQ.
Well I came on for a total of about 4 hours over the weekend . . . managed
to work a total of 128 NA stations, so was pretty pleased with that.
Apologies to any of you I couldn't copy . . . but bear in mind that - like
many British stations - I only live in an ordinary street in a City, with a
normal size garden (yard), with many houses within one wavelength. So I
have a high noise level, and no room for Beverages or anything (just my
homebrew Receiving Loop in the loft.)
