279, no dupes. Hourly rates were 110,76, 53 and 40.
Everything went really well so the only excuse I can come up with is
lack of antenna height as usual. I got one end up to 60ft and the other
at about 50ft, but with the centre just at 57ft it is not competitive,
even more so in the SSB leg. (Thought I would get my excuse in early!)
Even the jammer who appeared at the end of the first hour didn't worry
me. He started by sending a few dashes, then a long string and then
something that I presume was a data mode. I had the 250Hz filter in
anyway so just moved slightly and got rid of him. He came back later but
again no prob. Coincidentally I heard the station who I think is the
jammer on Friday in QSO on 80 CW!
Key clix were noticeable from a couple of stations, one with a very high
score and one GM station. Only non EU was 5B4AGN and a UA0. Inter UK
propagation seemed very good. N1MM worked a treat, very smooth, no
keying probs or speed changes. Only the occasional c---k up when using
the paddle.
