Are you sure you were on the same band as I was? I managed JN59 and a few  
other DL's over near the OK boarder! Only on for a couple of hours due to 
QRL in  the morning. GM0HTT on Orkney was rock crushing also on 70cms!

Hi,

I thought I would put my 21ele Tonna up on Saturday  afternoon and give 70cm
a go for a change. I have a 20ft push up mast on  the back of the garage
which with a rotator on the top I can just about  manage to push up.

With 20W I had 22 QSO's over a 4 hour period (got  called into work) sat in 
a
rather cold garage, my best DX being LX/PE1ITR/P  at 654km. Conditions were
flat, PI7CIS was a nice S1 and GB3ANG was in and  out of the noise.

To view a map of my Contest QSOs follow this  link:-

I've  left the antenna up so see some of you on Tuesday...

An added bonus is  thanks to the sharpness of the beam I now know from which
direction the  arcing thermostat (?) that plagues my life is coming from....
if anyone has  had a similar problem and resolved it perhaps they could drop
me a  line.

73  Dave
