Conditions not great up North, nil on 10m and not a single VE on 15. But 
LF was in good shape.
We had some wild winds on Saturday so left my big tower at 40ft, put it 
up to full height at 0500 Sunday. Wise move in the end, so strong that 
even a M2 Orion rotator would not turn the beam on Saturday afternoon. 
Decided to have a sleep 0100 to 0500 as well behind the big boys.

Numbers are:

Band    Q/Bonus
80        73/57
40        99/70
20        126/71
15        15/14
10        0/0

5805 points

Not a single VK3 or VK5, but nice to hear so many VK6's. Thanks to all 
the travellers, 6Y8XF was a HUGE signal.
