What an enjoyable, fun contest!.  I thought that having to send the grid
square would be too complex, but not so.  It adds another dimension.

I only managed 7 contacts, but it's a start.

Some observations from here.

	Most consistent signals from Eu - GM3POI, followed by HA8BE.

	First audible NA - K0HA, at 2346z.

	All the stations I worked either answered my CQ, or came back to me first
time.  I called many others, who never heard me at all, not even a ??.

	There was no sunrise lift at all.  Was this the same globally?

This is definitely one to put in my diary for next year.

Greg, ZS5K
