I had three that got away - a GW heard right in the noise, and stations in
JO00 and IO90 which were heard but not worked.  I also had about 45 minutes
without a single contact - all I could hear were the strong local stations.
 I even went and checked my antenna was still up :-)  There did seem to be
plenty of activity though - a number of stations I'd not worked before were
nice strong signals.

I did manage to grab a multiplier in IO92 (I think from memory) in the
closing minutes of the contest.  Whether his entry will be accepted for
entering as /A remains to be seen, but it was logged as worked for me so I
will be disappointed if it doesn't count.
