Graham,

My first Ropoco was last April and I found it different and 
entertaining; I managed 52 QSOs then and yesterday squeezed out 49. 
Painfully slow in the second hour which is probably a combination of low 
activity and propagation from over here in the far west.

Thanks for the contact - ft990 here with 100w to a g5rv sized doublet. 
Used N1MM for logging but as has been noted here there is no means of 
sending computer cw for this one with 'MM so sent everything with the 
paddle - need the practice anyway. Had my postcode back (intact) right 
at the start and again later on when the final R had become J (!). 
Wouldn't it be fun if you could track the progress of one's postcode 
through the contest and see the mutations unfolding..?

Typically, after many months of social drought a neighbour threw a party 
on Saturday night which wasn't great for my motivation on Sunday morning!
