  Believe me there are some of us pipsqeak G's who would have been grateful for those 2 points!

    Yes, it was very quiet once we lost any long skip. Heard quite a few UK
    stations who seemed to be going quite well (TXF was always there). I didn't
    often call the "Gs"  (once I had all the mults) as not sure they wanted the
    measly 2 pts.

    Just a few hours on and off here, 57 QSOs.
