Comments:

There have been single op, MS and M2 entries on CW from M6T but this was
the first time we've done multi-multi on CW. Just like 28 days ago,
conditions were very poor indeed. Our QSO total on 10m is only 40% of
the total we made a month ago on phone, and that was very poor!

On the plus side, everything worked well and with a highly experienced
team of operators we made the most of the very bad conditions.
Opportunities for passing mults were limited because often, the adjacent
band wasn't open! ZL7 on topband was probably the highlight, at the
other end we didn't work anything in the Caribbean on 10m all weekend,
and certainly no USA. We worked just one solitary JA on 15m, and only a
handful on 20.

Most of the team were able to stay behind on Monday to help take
everything down, aided by a superb breakfast cooked for us by Andrew
G4ADM. Thanks to Ian G4IIY who did the 6-hour drive all the way down
from Cumbria, and Dave G3WGN who opted to fly from Exeter to Norwich to
avoid a similar length car journey. Several others had 3-hour or longer
journeys to get to the station.

We learned a lot and feel we did as well as possible in the disturbed
conditions. Once again this entry was in memory of Bob G4BAH and we're
very sad he wasn't here to see the first CW multi-multi at the station
he built.
