>Hi Everyone
>
>I really enjoyed this weekend and I thought that conditions were generally
>good on 80M. I found that running LP was an issue when S+P for the rarer
>stations. I spent 30-40 mins calling stations in the Carribean - several to
>no avail. I was really hoping to make it with A45XR and the 3X boys, but
>again no joy. However, when I was spotted, the floodgates opened and
>sometimes the EU PU's were very challenging. Highlights for me were being
>called by a VR2 station for Z24 and a sigle JA for Z25. Was delighted to be
>called by a ZL at Sunday SR for Z32. My first night run to the US was really
>great, I think I must have put hundreds in the log....
>
>I fell asleep for 2 hours on Sunday morning when it became quiet about 3 ish
>and I as pretty shattered after a busy week working up to Friday night. I
>kept drifting off first night.
>
>The weather was very kind to us this time in GU, contrary to MZ5D in
>Shetland - (See the great www.G3TXF.com website for pics)thanks for the
>double mult Ian - you were very strong here, and you put a smile on my face.
>Also a happy memory of our NFD night out at Crabby Jacks with the GU and AAA
>teams came to mind!
>
>I ran an Inverted V at 65' and Beverages/ loop for receive. The trusty
>FT1KMP MkV was the radio.
>
>I missed my commercial radio slot on Saturday  explaining I was busy. I
>don't think that they would have believed what I was really doing!
>
>SD was flawless and a double scrren arrangement allowed space for Ionoprobe
>and DX Atlas as well.
>
>I was called by MU0A who was strong with me but turned out to be a pirate
>according to latest reports...
>
>The driver to keep going as I approached sunrise was the fabulous smell of
>grilled egg and bacon, on both mornings with all the trimmings coming into
>the shack at 08.30 ish from the kitchen. Great!
