Sorry too Dave - I did try you.     Band cndx were tough this time, down to a dozen contacts from 22 last month and the  high 30's in Feb, due to the increasing daylight hours I guess. Very ghostlike sigs first 30 minutes, strengths improved slightly thereafter but always marginal.

I haven't studied the scoring rules but I think contintal qso's in this one  do not carry any  kudos in the way of points or mults. For that reason I  call only those  who I can hear clearly as I do not wish to waste  your time needing several takes whilst you could be working several nearer stations in the same length of time in what for you guys is quite a busy event. One or two of the regulars were missing. Strongest sigs were G3LZQ and G3OGP, but I never did hear them cq'ing. Was hearing good support from eu.

73   Brian.
