     Hi all,

Scores on the doors for G5W...my first attempt at this from home with 
100w and borrowed Butternut...good fun despite not the full hours (CT 
says 27.4)...some reasonable runs but little heard from outside of EU 
and (to these ears at least) particularly duff to NA...had horrendous 
intermittent noise on 15 and 20 here real S8-S9 stuff which wiped the 
band out for use which was a prize PITA...once I had moped the big boys 
up I could hear no-one else until the noise suddenly dissapeared 
again...then re-appeared later...most odd?

FT1000MP/100w/CT/Butternut with precious few radials, limited 
preparation beforehand and too much distraction during (t'was ever 
thus)...


FB QRP score from G3YMC BTW...
