Thanks Wolf, its really nice to know I was getting out OK.  I only have
a small station - 80 Watts and a low dipole on 40/15 and 20 and an
inverted L (actually more like an end fed V!) on 80.

I take your point.  I have a complete txt file of the whole contest and
I will go through it to see how often when I received 3 of something
only one was corrupt.  I do have quite a strong feeling that this was
quite often the case - i.e only one wrong and 2 right, but I should
produce some proper statistics.

It's true.  and I do feel bad sending 3 of things to S9+ stations, but
on balance I always assume I'm going to be quite weak with anyone I
work!

Yes me too - and it gets quite a lot of use!
