Comments   : Hasty rethink on Friday evening resulted in the crazy decision
                     to go SO/LP on 80m!!  Vic G4BYG was guest op with M2D
                    SO HP 160m from my QTH. A good move we kept each other
                    motivated through the rough patches..except for 2.5hrs
watching
                   the Ashes Test Match!
                   Great fun but 99.9% S&P cracking  the DX pile-ups.

             Rx advantage of 4-sq improved the situation when condx got
             really bad during Sat Nite. QRN and General Noise from dense
            fog added to the overall drama..even the odd major static
crash...
             Only 62 NA so Pts/QSO well down at 1.42  Lots worked not
            audible on Dipole or at best ESP Mode.
             Found most productive was to have Main VFO (Left Ear) and
            Sub-VFO (Right Ear) then go HF>LF on Main VFO and LF>HF
           on Sub VFO.
             Add in a bit of Rt Hand Index Finger on "Split" and was like
             having 2 Txvr's. Meant lots of concentration but things never
             got too dramatic and more so as the contest progressed due to
             lack of new stations. It also relieved the boredom factor..mine
             is very low..
             Hrd only 2-JA's and ZL6QH at 339 but my flea-power not enough.
             Highlight probably HC8N (0154z) and XT2DX (0225z)given the
             massive  pileups from both EU and NA.
