'Twas ever thus. I distinctly remember being hoiked out of the 2m tent
on Robin-a-Tiptoe (IO92NP) one year in the early 1990s, told to bring
my key and report immediately to the 23cm station (across the other
side of the hilltop) where there was a weak DL station patiently
waiting for CW capability to show up...

Oh, and you should try going to IN79JX. Huge scope for mis-logging and
'huh??' reactions.
