No panics, no dramas, no trouble keeping a run freq. - can't believe 
it!  Tried a low dipole (30ft) after the comments on this reflector - 
seemed to do the job from the reports I was given.  Seemed to get out much 
better than the inv L I used last weekend.

266 Q's - rates of  97 / 76 / 46 / 47 which seem to buck the last hour 
propagation noted elsewhere. 10 of the last hour QSO's were GM's but then I 
worked my first GM at 14.49 and as I'm on the south coast, perhaps that is 
more surprising than working them in the last hour (as I usually do).

Agree Jonathan's comments about obscene language from unidentified QRM'ers 
- let's hope they find something better to do with themselves before next 
year's running of the contest!

FT1000 MkV - roofing filter (which helps a lot) + linear + dipole at 
30ft.  Location JO00

Roll on 80m CC's
