Herewith the score in the LPFD. About the same score as last year,on each band.  By around 1400z (3pm local) both bands seemed dead apart from 2 weak stations I'd already worked, so I went home !! The rules were again incorrectly summarised in July Radcom, 2 stations thought it was 80 am and 40 pm as the table indicated. Even the Contest Supplement only corrects it in the text, the table seeming initially also to say 80am and 40 pm.

                Band        80        40
                QSOs       24        53        =  77
                 Pts          285     610        =  895   
Rig 10W (Ft817) ant 136ft inv-vee @27ft agl with Z-match and 300 ohm feed. My laptop refused to key properly so paddle fully employed. Station in a field at the southern-most tip of Cumbria so close to sea on three sides.
