A fun packed session! The band was really good for all distances of 
inter-G working and was very busy. I was going like the clappers with 39 
Qs in 19 minutes, then keying locked up. I've just returned to N1MM and 
it looks as though the latest version has some new CW features like 
erratic changes of speed and complete lock up. Lost 6 minutes rebooting 
computer, opening Router and N1MM which at my Q rate was a loss of 12 
QSOs for starters. Run freq lost of course so went S&P with a couple of 
short run sessions.

In between all that the jammer was active again and I actually caught 
him working someone using my callsign. Several people said Dupe to me, 
which it wasn't so had to ask for another QSO. This guy is now getting 
persistent, I think he was using other callsigns as well, and he also 
sent "Weekend" and "QRP" to me early one.

Apart from the increasing proliferation once again of His Call, 
Exchange, my main observation was two really bad sounding signals. G3YHV 
was modulated and G3XVR was very rough. Difficult to comment on any clix 
because most of the time I ran with the 250Hz filter in.

FT1kMP, dipole apex at 57ft high, ends up at 45ft high over water logged 
heavy clay soil.

Bottom line is 114 QS.    Chris G3SJJ
