I guess this is my final claimed score.

I've gone through the original log and deleted a few mults (eg Writelog
initially insisted on scoring NL7AU/4 as Alaska which of course he isn't. ).
I'm still not at all fluent with WL and although I used it, I much prefer
CT.

Very many thanks to Steve GW4BLE for letting me use his excellent QTH.
Equipment TH7 + 402BA + 80M dipole + loaded tower for 160M
FT1000MP with Alpha 86 amp

It was an SO2R set up, but I'm afraid I only ever succeeded in successfully
using the left hand rig.  My brain has more than enough trouble trying to
use one radio let alone two at the same time.

Excellent Fun with good conditions ..As ever I  made a lot of strategic
errors ...mostly the same ones that I made in 2002 and vowed not to repeat.
Mainly revolving around optimum times to S and P.

High Point ..being called in the middle of a USA pile up by T32WW.
Low Points ..The half a dozen or so Mults I asked to QSY and then
lost....Doh!
