Hello Dave BUO, and contesters

I noticed in the pileups that I was lucky to receive, that the stations 
calling after a while were working themselves for points,because the pile 
ups were big.    In the end I had to move 500hz or so to start again - so to 
speak, and leave them to it. You dont get that on Morserunner either 
Hi.(Maybe it could be programed in )

.
Had  almost 1900 QSO's but I dont go chasing dx pileups so the multi,s were 
quite low, Just had over the 1M points, but I had lots of fun, and thats 
what its all about.

Thank you to all those who gave me such enjoyment on my favourite mode.

Dave G3RXP
