Comments:

Last minute plans meant I ended up doing SOSB15M instead of SOAB, sorry to those
who thought I was doing AB and asked me to move. 

Started off good on Saturday morning with a nice run to EU before it opened to
NA in the afternoon. Finished early on Saturday due to feeling unwell, I headed
back to the hotel for some rest hoping to feel better on Sunday. 

Back on Sunday morning feeling a bit better but the band was packed from an
early stage. Getting a frequency in ther afternoon after doing some S+P was very
hard, it seemed everyone was on the band at the same time.

Didn't work much from the pacific or africa - hence lack of zones. Heard 5I3A a
few times calling other stations but not CQing himself. Late on Sunday evening a
few SA stations calling - OA, ZP, CX5 etc(all news one's), but they couldn't
hear me so I missed out on some what should have been easy DXCC's.

Last QSO was @ 20:40 so not too bad considering it had been dark for about 2
hours.

Lots of DX around, nice to be thanked for a new one by some more rarer stations
too!

Thanks to all that called, story and pictures will be on www.qsl.net/m5ric
soon.
