What a weekend! The station was set up in our holiday caravan right beside
the beach 35 miles east of Edinburgh.
Band conditions were perfect and it was wall to wall RTTY in the lower parts
of the bands. I managed about 24 hours operating time with the off times
split between sleep, putting up verticals in the (very cold) sea and testing
N1MMLogging program.  The intention was to work SO2R but events overtook me
and I settled for using the MP running 150 watts to verticals in  and beside
the sea.  What a difference a couple of feet of sea water makes under an
antenna!
High points were working HC8N on five bands and being called by FK8HN.
Next year the master plan is to have everything set up and working on the
Friday then not move until midnight Sunday!  Great to work so many G and GW
stations, + 1 GU (thanks Phil) but alas nothing heard from the rest of the
UK
