K3, 264ft Doublet, N1MM

A 'proper club' effort by OP's G3LVP, G3NKS, G4ENA, G4ENZ, G0NXA & 
M0PCB. Several NFD veterans, one on on his third NFD, one on his second 
and one his first (not all in the above order). We'll try to introduce 
another new operator to NFD next year as well, what are other clubs & 
CG's doing to recruit new operators?

"10m was very productive with lots of short skip, called by VK6LW on 40m 
early on Saturday evening - he was a surprisingly strong signal.
Very heavy QRN on 160 and 80 - can't recall having to ask for so many 
repeats of serial numbers in previous years. A most enjoyable weekend. 
Roll on next year!" (G3NKS)

"Had a great time in my first NFD and will be back for more next year" 
(G4ENZ)

For a change nothing broke down, the heavy showers *just* missed us 
although we could hear thunder in the distance on Sunday afternoon.
We were packed up & heading for the pub half an hour after the end of 
the contest, is this a record?
