Comments:

Quasi field-day operation from North Devon QTH. Arrived mid-afternoon Friday.
Assembled and put 4el 20m yagi onto 80ft crank-up tower. Not quite finished
before it gets dark. Wind up tower first thing Saturday morning, just in time to
work the huge early morning signal from VE6WQ (first QSO). 

Operated 20m Single-Band in two 12-hour sessions. 1,042 QSOs were made on the
Saturday, but only 393 Q's on the Sunday. Finding new stations to work on the
Sunday was hard work. 

The four missing Mults were the usual culprits : VO2-LAB, VY1-YT, VY0-NU and
VE8-NWT. OK these places are all pretty cold and grim in February, but how about
someone doing a mini DX-pedition to any of these super-rare Mults for the
ARRL-CW Contest? It'd make a nice change from going to the winter warmth of
Caribbean just to work the W/VE's - instead, it'd give the "DX" a rare mult in
ARRL-CW!

Last QSO 2200z Sunday. First thing Monday morning : wind down tower, dismantle
antenna, clear up station and do the four-hour drive back home. 

Another great ARRL-CW Weekend!
