Not able to spend the time on this one, pity because my noise level was
lower than it has been for some time on this band.
Seemed increased serious activity UK activity but less general UK interest.
I noted some disturbing aspects:

1 - Some people were sending far too fast for the general level of interest
in this event and I am sure would miss out on some of the casual/slower
speed callers. It is not CQWW.

2 - Several of the leaders were not hearing callers or asking for repeats. I
was surprised. Justin TSH seemed to cope best.

3 - I had forgotten that I had heard there was some kind of feud on Orkney,
can't recall the actual details. Was saddened to hear Clive POI calling CQ
and DZX also calling very close, when Clive moved to another freq, DZX also
moved. Very sad whatever the reasons.

but positively lots of Spots from States as early as 2215. I was initially
hoping to operate from LZQ's so very disappointed. C'est la vie.   Chris
