[Donald Field]

Guess you score bonus points Phil for the fastest write-up for the 
reflector!

71 QSOs here, all valid. Two stations heard and not worked (they were 
calling others). 55 Qs in the first hour, downhill thereafter!

FT-1000MP MkV, Quadra, inv-vee dipole at 45ft.

Ropoco 1 2nd April 2005 0700z-0900z

68 QSOs with one dupe making 67 QSOs (None UK stations don't count for point 
so my claim is for 660 points).

Rig: FT1000MP + Linear 400w.
Ant: 1/4 wave vertical over 5000 feet radials.

A steady contest with 66 UK stations worked and one PA station. The PA sent 
001 and threw me and G3MA into confusion when I gave my next QSO G3MA 001 as 
my exchange! So I worked G3MA again a little later when I had a post code to 
give him. He was surprisingly then my last QSO and gave me back my own 
Postcode of YO188EE! (Also heard my own code corrupted to YO1ZZEE very near 
the end as well!).

Wierdest postcode copied was 5S20QB - can anybody beat that?

The last half hour was extremely quiet - only 5 QSOs that counted. I enjoy 
this contest - it's just long enough for a Sunday morning.
