Well  if Quentin is 'middle ranking' then I am definitely in the lower 
quartile.... 146 QSOs, slightly up on last year, running my normal K2 
QRP into a low 65ft longwire.

First hour was great with 62 QSOs, next hour 40 then it really started 
to drop off - mainly because I had worked all the big boys and doing 
mainly S&P picked up very few of the other S&P chaps. CQ is always hard 
going on QRP, but I did get a few contacts that way. And yes, loads of 
GMs, but no GI, GU, GJ...

But not a big turnout from the Bracknell club despite a publicity 
drive. Only Bill G7PVZ came on to support us, and he made a very useful 
70 QSOs on QRP from a much lousier QTH than mine.
