Comments:

Heavy work in Saturday, more than made up for by superb conditions at Sunday 
dawn.  The new(ish) Titanex antenna certainly proved its worth, with ZL, VU, 
XT2, HC8 and a pile of other goodies in the log.

The last minutes of the contest were rather spoilt by a vulgar policeman, 
language not repeatable here, who QRMed the end of my last QSO.  It is true 
that as the QSO was concluding it was a few seconds past 0000 but it 
definitely *started* before the finish bell.  I had always understood of 
contests in general that a QSO that started before end-of-time could be 
completed and would count, though interestingly, a check on the CQWW rules 
shows that they are silent on this point.

That last QSO?  No, it's not in the log!  Well, not mine anyway.

73, John
