Quite spooky...

With my 10W, also from "leafy Berkshire" I could plagiarise Dave's (G3YMC) 
report as my own.

Unusually, I found it more productive to run higher up the band with QRP (1 
Q per 5 mins instead of zero!) while the skip was long. Once the skip 
changed, it also paid to run (lower down the band) as presumably all the big 
guns had already managed to work each other so were seeking me out.

All the same, 37 QSOs is not great. These conditions really show my 80m 
antenna for what it is (expletive deleted).

73, Rob
