Comments:

The Cambridge University Wireless Society (G6UW / M4A) joined forces with 
the
Granta Contest Group (M0CAM / M4R) for this multi-single operation.  For 
once we
were reasonably well prepared but Murphy still struck by occasionally
disconnecting our local node from the rest of the DX Cluster network.  It 
was
especially hard to make full use of the multiplier station with no spots for 
a
total of about 12 hours, including 1900 UTC on the Sunday through to the end 
of
the contest.  We ought to have been able to reach 5 million points with a
constant connection.  Apart from that, we found conditions were a lot better
than expected, especially on 10m, and run rates were often quite high. 
Thanks
to everyone who worked us.

Equipment (run): FT-1000MP, TL-922, TH5, Dunestar filters
Equipment (mult): FT-1000MP, Quadra, A3S, Dunestar filters
Equipment (shared): 2el 40m beam, array of 3 80m dipoles, 160m dipole.
