Hi,

I had a wee play in the ukdx too, I did rather more than I intended but
I don't have the log here in work so will follow up with that later.  I
found LF conditions not bad though.  I went on 80 between about 0015 and
0140 and was quite surprised to be called by 3 or 4 Ws and VEs (may have
been more can't remember), I usually have to go and find them!  In fact
80 seemed quite lively, I only intended to go on for an hour max but
couldn't get away.

Yes I was the victim of that too, firstly he/she was netted on a
station I called then he/she came and sat on me.
