Comments:

The Southern UK was hit by storm force winds over the weekend, reaching 100 MPH
in parts, several people were killed and there was many $1000s of damage.
So this was *NOT* a good time for serious contesting!!!!!!

Here I use a crank-up tower, so was fortunate to be able to lower it during late
Saturday evening before the storm reached us. However, this meant that my
antennas were only around 7.5 metres above ground level and they remained there
from around 20:00 Saturday through to the end of the contest :-((

I also lost my 80m sloper and 160m antenna (the tower is shunt-fed for topband
band). A temporary 80m dipole in a nearby tree survived the storm, although the
tree itself lost some branches!

Rig: FT1000MP + Alpha78 (tnx GW3NJW)
Ant: TH7 / 402-CD / 80m dipole @ 18m
