A VERY casual participation this year - only managed to get on for 16 hours
in total due to other commitments!
Operated only 16 hours in total! - Friday night (0000-0200), Saturday
evening (1900-0000) and Sunday day/evening spread from 0900 - 2359. Location
8km NW of Swindon Wiltshire.

Equipment: FT1000MP mkV with Inrad roofing filter, Quadra amp, TB3 tribander
@60ft, quarter wave vertical for 40m, and 140 ft doublet @35ft for 80 &
160m.
Used Wintest for 2nd time in anger - found it great for chasing mults -
really like it overall.
Doublet useless on 80m&160m outside W.Eu!- will have to find something
better for my limited garden! but qtr wave on 40m went well.
