Comments:

At this stage it looks like we have beaten the 3.9 M score that we achieved 
last year.

Conditions on the low bands were terrible although we did manage to work a 
string of USA stations on 80m during the early hours of Sunday morning.

The high bands were excellent. We had a more QSOs on 10m than last year - this 
is the main reason for the improved score.
 
Our highest run rate (3 stations combined) was 157 per hour - in the first and 
last hours of the contest. It ended up being a real sprint to the finish.
 
Unfortunately a cold Southerly storm hit us on Sunday afternoon and caused a 
problem with one of the Vee beam feeders. It was NOT fun fixing that problem in 
horizontal hail - but then that is all part of the contesting game!

Thanks to everyone for the QSOs and supporting the contest
