Propagation seemed favourable from Lincolnshire, as my score increased 
considerably over last year's, using exactly the same set-up.
I can't remember an AFS with so many Eastern European stations 
available, obviously another test running as well as ours and the 
Hungarian one.
I see I worked 29 Countries. Signals from most UK stations took a dive 
in the last 90 minutes, to be replaced by the Eu traffic.

Final number was 394 QSOs, with 9 dupes - one a double dupe from an old 
G3 call with numbers below 100!

Hourly rates were 133-105-81-75.  Never heard G3BJ or G3SJJ! No problems 
with jamming or deliberate QRM for a change.

Station (SO2V) FT1000MP, 400w amp and dipole at 70 feet. Logging with 
N1MM, didn't bother with DVK for just 4 hours. I have only used it when 
doing ARRL SSB for 48 hours.
