An interesting contest.

Conditions went belly-up later on, but the runs earlier were good.

I think the guys in the UK on a "unique" multiplier have a distinct
advantage when it comes to volume of Qs - it got fairly slow towards the end
on boring old EU005.

Some extreme "rubber-clocking" at the end of the contest by some. QSOs
taking place 5 minutes after the contest ended !

Usual stuff here - 2 x FT1000MP + linears
10 ele force 12 (40-10) at 80ft
A3S at 60ft
90ft vertical (160/80)
Dipoles for LF
K9AY
