Comments:

Topband at the bottom of the sunspot cycle was the place to be! 

High winds at the Devon field-day contest site on the Friday prevented the 20m
antennas being installed for the orginally planned SOSB/20 entry. Instead a
160m inv-vee dipole was wound up to 95ft and three 160m listening antennas were
stretched out around the garden. These latter made all the difference.

Excellent 160m conditions produced 349 W (and 29 VE), 256 DL, 121 UA, 88 OK and
64 (zero-point!) G. 25% of the 1,588 Q's were with North America and 72% with
Europe.

Being called by several Caribbean stations really helped the Multiplier total.
Additional mults heard that did not make it into the log were UA0YAY in z23,
HS0ZDJ in z26 (called several times but no reply even with no-one else
calling), LU8YE in z13 and 9Y4AA. Apart from these, every Mult heard was
worked.

Was QRV in the shack for 34 hours. Most of the daylight hours on the Saturday
were spent outside setting up temporary 160m receive antennas.

A weekend to be remembered on Topband!
