Worked 'em both but G4FKA isn't anything like as far from here (and ever 
present in the CW band - thanks for the support Geoff) and I wasn't sure 
where G3ULT/P was.

Actually, I'd only really count G4BUO (575km according to DX Atlas) and 
M5FUN (592km) as deep South East.  You were at 511km (further than I would 
have thought off the top of my head and definitely worth an honourable 
mention given QRP!) and G4FKA only at 428km from the South Antrim 
countryside and a lot closer than that to, say, Wexford.
