Geolocation..... In my case it shows High Wycombe and Glasgow, no sign 
of Bracknell. O2 IP addresses normally resolve to Slough, so it got it 
wrong. I don't have geolocation enabled in my browser, and since I have 
wireless turned off in the router there will be nothing in Google's 
data to identify my exact locations. Those who get it spot on should be 
a bit concerned.

I would comment on the results that that I could see no mention 
anywhere of the QRP certificate (rule 9(f)). A quick look indicates 
that G3LHJ won this this year with myself in second place - under the 
conditions we QRP boys need particular praise!
