That's funny; we said the same thing after the 2m Trophy contest that ran at
the same time. We assumed they'd all gone to SSB FD.........

Hiya Guys

First the positives..

1)The weather was good.
2)Nothing broke
3)G3TXF remembered to bring the kettle.
4)We had lots of laughs.
5)The voice keyer worked, thus saving a lot of sore throats.


On the not so positive side
1) Poor levels of UK participation compared to EU.
2) Flat conditions with little propagation on 21/28.
2) Slow QSO rate .. our 100W to a simple doublet antenna didn't give us much
punch.
4) Our performance was improved compared with 2006 but worse than some of
our near competitors.  

We ended up with a little over 800 QSOs and around 100 mults.  So on balance
I guess the school report would read.."A good attempt but could do better" 

You can see us on G3TXFs website...
