Conditions were the best I can remember, with 7MHz exceptional.  Thanks to
all the DX and special activity stations that helped to make this Diamond
Jubilee event memorable, including 9G5VJ, VP2EJT, S79MAD, VS97BG,
V2/GM0GAV, 5X1P, 3DA0CA not forgetting the many HQ stations.  I'm sure
there were others that  I couldn't hear without a beam.

The station at G3LET ran 400w to a 260 ft sloping wire from 25ft high
(chestnut tree in back garden) to 130 ft high (sequoia in front garden),
fed with open line 1/3 of the way up, from the loft shack.  This feed
method was developed through trial and error and  totally avoids RFII, even
though the feeder passes within a couple of feet of the TV antenna. 
Feeding the wire against ground causes several local alarm systems and
telephones to complain loudly !

Claimed scores are as follows:

Band           80           40           20           15           10

See you all next year.
