[UK-CONTEST] ARRL 28MHz

As others have commented, not the best of conditions this weekend! Started  
off well enough on Saturday with a couple of EAs and F, but that's where it  
stopped. After that it was many hours of CQs for little or no return.
 
Sunday was equally dismal and lots of CQs for little return. Lots of  careful 
tuning, listening for those little pings but nothing heard outside of  EU. 
However things did liven up around 1715 with S5 and an IQ4 in the log. Nice  to 
work so many GWs in one weekend!
 
Used 100w to a fixed half wave sloping dipole. With 15 QSOs and 8  mults 
there are times when wet string just isn't enough and this was one of  them!
