Because of the wet weather I could not fly the Helekite  with the 60 metre Vertical so had to use my half wave dipole at 35 feet. 
I only went on for about 7 hours. My wife thought I was mad getting up at 3 o'clock Sunday morning hoping to contact some USA stations, with no luck (I think the dipole is to low) I could not hear any DX never mind working any. The best DX SV and 5B4.

40 Countries and 6 Zones. Not to bad for a low dipole and a 100 watts.

I noticed I had been spotted 4 times on the cluster Sunday morning which helped me allot. I personally like the cluster.

See you in the Club Championships next month.
