Comments:

Strategy compromised somewhat having to fit 36 hrs into 40. Had to QRT early Sunday evening
for the 100 mile drive back to Beds. for work this morning. Consequently missed out on those
frantic last few hours when DX look to offload their surplus QTCs.

Condx seemed odd, 10, 15 and 20 all threatened to open well but never really quite made it.

Great fun though, and the QTC element still make this my favourite contest.

UK participation always seems low for this one, not quite sure why. You're missing out on a lot
of fun guys. Perhaps it's holiday time.

Tnx to the XYL for allowing me the weekend off from changing nappies and also to my OM (Bill)
for the use of his modest station.

Next 'weekend pass' will be CQWW CW, whoo hooo!
