Came on 160 initially to have a listen to the OE event but then remembered  
the RSGB event so thought I'd have a bash. Was amazed to make 102 QSOs with 
100w  from the IC756ProIII and a bent 30m inverted V, top at 10m and ends about a 
 metre off the ground.
 
No W/VE worked although I did hear some very weak signals quite early on in  
the period. A mix of running and S&P - was amazed to be able to make some  
reasonable runs. Best DX OH/LY/EW/LZ sort of radius.
 
Nice to work a number of the CC regulars as well.
 
A nice little contest and one in which the pipsqueak station can make a  
decent number of Qs!
