Things were going ok here for 25 minutes and then propagation pulled a 
switch. All UK signals simply disappeared and only non contest europeans 
could be heard. It was as if the contest had just been called off and I 
even wondered if I'd missed changing the clocks..:-)

I persisted and a few uk sigs did reappear after about 15 mins but all 
except a GJ were weak. Even stations less than 10 miles away were barely 
readable here.

Re jamming - just had a SM tut tutting about contests on Monday night 
towards the end but he moved off when I mentioned only 10 minutes to go.....
