A thoroughly enjoyable weekend again.  Even the torrential rain, thunder and
lightning during Sunday did not dampen our spirits, even if we were soaked
through after striking the station.

We had a S9 noise level for prolonged periods, which we put down to charged
rain.  Apologies to those who we simply did not hear calling, particularly
on 160m.  Did anybody else experience high noise levels on the bands, or was
it a Cumbrian phenomenon?
