Comments:

It's been a long time since we tried any sort of serious cw contest, so it was
nice to give this one a go :)

Firstly, congratulations to the eastern European guys for their grand scores!

It seems the two solar impacts on Saturday were perfectly timed to ruin any
chance for us to to do well: The early one killed our LF runs on Saturday
morning, and the later one closed HF for us on Saturday afternoon. With our
perennial problem of working mults from this far west in Europe (we worked
almost all we could hear), we had no chance to compensate with greater qso
numbers. Luckily, Sunday was a lot better and proved to us we can do ok if
conditions allow! As the French say, "c'est la vie" - the important things are
that we had fun, we did as well as we could this time around, and we learnt a
lot for an improvement next year...

Thanks to Dave, G3WGN, for traveling over and the great craic, to our cw team,
to Neil '3JE for a huge amount of preparation work, and to John '8IR for
hosting us.

Mark. '3KD
