Yep, it was me. Nice score from you. We made about 180 QSOs on 23cm,
49.5k points. Of course our km/QSO average is somewhat lower, too
many locals ;-) We worked 3 Gs (G0VHF/P, G5LK/p and of course
G3XDY), a test with G4EAT wasn't successful and we never could get
the attention of G3SDC/p. Other nice DX included IQ1KW, I4LCK/4,
SK7ECM. G3XDY was the ODX with 837km.

We also recorded most of the contest and it's now available as a
870MB MP3-file. I will cut out the best DX QSOs and put them on the
website later, probably after WRTC.

On 23cm no other WWYCers worked, I think, but I saw DD2SMA, DC1RJJ,
DK5TX and probably a few others in the logs on other bands.
