No big towers, beams or verticals here! Just the usual IC756ProIII  plus 
MFJ993 auto-tuner. This weekend's wet string antenna farm comprised a 30m  
inverted V doublet at 10m and a half wave 12m sloping dipole, top end at  10m.

Great conditions on the higher bands. 15 was something like its old  self. 
Greatest pleasure was 10m which was open for significant time on both  days, 
particularly Saturday.

As you can see from the QSO totals, I  concentrated on the two higher bands 
to take advantage of the conditions. Mainly  S&P, but some useful runs into EU 
on 10m as well. Highlight (and shock!) of  the weekend was being called and 
worked by B4B in Zone 24 on 10m whilst  otherwise working a run of EUs on the 
sloping dipole.

Simple station as  usual but amazing what some good conditions can bring with 
a bit of patience  through the wall of noise. Just keep calling and calling 
and if that doesn't  work call again!

As ever, pleased to give points to the serious entrants  and hope you all do 
well. Hope also that conditions stay up for the CW  leg.
