[UK-CONTEST] Question on Cumalatives - and SDV

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Thanks for all the answers-  I used Minos, on 6/2/70 (don't have 4m) with 3 separate logs running at once - it works really well and switching about is real easy too.

Thanks to those that worked me and hope to do so again tomorrow (today?) and perhaps some new ones too.
