Comments:
36 hours on air from GD this year. As usual I spent most of my time
searching and pouncing, but did enjoy some nice pileups, including one
to the States at 150 per 100 qsos and peaking 240 at one point per 10
qsos.

Where was the station that signed EM1HO giving zone 13?. Either I
misread his call several times or my country file is not up to date. EM
is allocated to Ukraine, is it not ?

Am I the only one that looses my cool over ops that keep on sending TU
and only giving their calls every 5 mins or so, if your lucky...and even
then at some stupid speed ?!

Club Affiliation: 
CHILTERN DX CLUB

BTW The dxpedition went very well with over 7200 qsos being made. Once I
catch up I will send details to 425 DX News and will update my web site
within the next few weeks. Thanks for the qso in the contest and look
forward to the 98 event...maybe by then 10m will be alive and kicking
again in GD land :))
