Comments.
Band seemed good at all distances. Although still a little light on ON's,
worked 22. Missed all UK mults except M.
First few hours were good and as always turned into a real slog towards the
end.
Some of the ON's were great, most were a whisper here and they stuck with me
to the end to complete the qso.

Thanks everyone who called,
Tim-M0BEW.

Comments:
Another 'part time effort' to add to the pile.
I wouldn't mind a serious pop at this contest some time, but not from
home.
Did about 10 hours on Sunday, started at 1200 when I got up and finished at
2200ish. Made a few q's on 15 but didn't have the contest log running.
I spent a lot of time on Saturday listening round and following some of the
UK op's while I relaxed in the shack.
I heard a lot POI on 20m during the day, and a lot of M5X on 15, when I was
listening around.
I think they may have been SB's also.

Good contest.
A little bit annoyed with myself making bad choices with my time off. I took
a large chunk off Saturday night when really I should have took it Sunday.
I'm not quite used to 'having' to take breaks, I would have happily worked
through if I could.

Thanks everyone who called.
