Yep I lost 15-mins at the start then went 72
(short hr) 57 49 41 but was either S&P or up
on 3573 until 1530 finally moving  to 3517 at
1540 and stayed put until 1755 then found
3-more in last 5-mins.. GM's aplenty finished
with 30 of em, 1-GU, 3-GW, 1-GD. Bob 5B4AGN
was a cracking signal as ever but few EU's..
Finally enjoyed a CW session with the 5000 ,
antenna droopy dipole at 45ft with ends up
around 20+ feet but in open country except
for a large steel clad building SE/S 100ft
from tower. Would have liked to raise tower
but paddock is under about 6-9" of water,
getting worried if it blows and the tower
goes walkabout.

Good fun as ever..
