Hello,
Can I echo Ray's comments, great support from the team.
The production of timely results has been very good,usually before the next 
session.

Don't forget Pete G4CLA, who has sorted a few queries for me with the web 
logging system.

I managed to do 36 sessions this year (30 out /P) on 50 - 1296 MHz.
However I only did 3 sessions on 144 MHz, next year I think I'll cut back on 
50 MHz and try and do more on 144 MHz.

All in all an enjoyable year despite the odd sessions with high winds, cold, 
rain, thunder, equipment failures and getting home just before midnight!

Good Luck to all in 2012.
