I also made about 26 QSOs in the Region One and RSGB SSB Field Day 
Contests, all on 20 SSB and probably about the same number in the FISTS 
CW Club G3ZQS Memorial Straight Key Contest.  We were out town for most 
of Sunday and I missed more than two hours of the CW Sprint due to a 
high school alumni society party commemorating the 100th anniversary of 
a local football rivalry.
