This was actually a part time entry.  I was out all day yesterday at the Newark Hamfest so I only managed an hour in the morning and then another couple of hours when I got home.  Today I had a good go from around 05:30z up until 15:30z with a couple of hours break at lunchtime when I went for a five mile walk to get some fresh air.  I stopped operating when I did simply because I was tired and as I've not done any serious attempts for a few months, I was all contested out :-)

I'm not going to win any major prizes but it was fun.  fldigi worked well but today some of the signals on 20m were particularly weak and I had to ask for quite a lot of repeats.  Strangely enough, I had a prime run frequency this morning and when I returned from my lunch I was able to get back onto exactly the same frequency as it was clear.  That doesn't happen very often.

I didn't go out of my way looking for multipliers except for the last twenty minutes or so where I picked up a small handful of new ones.

Thanks to all for the QSOs.
