Hard going but a lot of activity. We ate later than I had planned so the
band was already busy when I got to the shack 10 minutes before the start.
Did a fair amount of S&P before I settled on the SSTV slot. Boy, were they
fuming. I dodged around, moving a couple of 2KHz up and then down.
Propagation was such that virtually all the stations that called me
over-rode the QRM. I quite enjoyed myself. "Disgusting behaviour" and "We
know who you are, we will report you to the RSGB" were typical comments. I
am quaking in my boots!! Managed to get my own back on G3YHV who always
calls back to front, ie calls me and gives serial number before establishing
if in fact we are in qso. Guess I was in a devilish mood!   Good to see lots
of ex Class Bs, M3s and M5s.

126 Qs, FT1000MP, 100w, dipole at 50ft. Writelog logging program.

BTW I see that Club Contest results are out with 100 entries, more than 10%
up on last year and the best for over 10 years
