Only 102?  I managed a dismal 80odd in the whole 4 hours, I guess I
could have found a few more by S&P a bit more but I wanted to see how I
could do mainly running - not very well!   

Activity seemed much lower than for the FOC event the previous weekend
which I listened to for a bit, but maybe that was because conditions
were much worse with lower signal levels this weekend?  

Still - it's all good practice!
