Steve was participating in the Yeovil Fun Run QRP contest which was 
running concurrently with the CC - the dates of this year's CC were 
published quite late and the dates for the Yeovil event had already 
been defined by then, hence the unfortunate clash.

The Fun Run has different rules. See 
http://www.davesergeant.com/qrp/funrun.htm for details and a link to 
the rules. Basically the exchange is RST, Serial, Power and Name, 
with a catch that the serial starts from >100!

The fact that Steve was able to have QSOs in that contest at the same 
time as the CC was running bears testiment to the QRS coral achieving 
its goals to some extent.

I was not on last night in either event as I had another commitment.
