I was sorry not to be able to get on for this one,  but would have
echo'd the comments above if I had.   And another thing I would add is
that its fine for you whizo CW ops to hoover up all the workable
stations in 10 minutes and then moan about the duration, but I find that
it takes me the two hours to round everyone up, it's nice to have a
contest where you actually have time to enjoy it.   So have a thought
for those people who are not such hot shot CW ops who might prefer a bit
more time.   If anyone doesn't like the duration they could always come
on for the last half?
