I've been wondering myself how one postcode could have been propagated
so completely; can't think of any scenario that would result in that
other than sabotage or ignorance. At one point towards the end the whole
of my SD screen was filled with NP263BA, both sent and received - it was
as if I'd been overtaken by a 'Ropoco virus'

Unlike others I didn't receive any other variations of this, very
boring......

As previously I found the last 45 minutes or so painfully slow; casual
ops don't seem to be tempted to jump in for the last half hour which
would make it a bit more interesting.

Still fun though in a funny sort of way. 63 provisional Qs here, K3 and 
amp to 102 ft doublet and SD.

73,
