Soapbox: A good turn out of operators meant we operated for the full 48 Hours of the contest. It was the first time we actually used 2 radios for a M/Single and the Multi Station worked lots of good Multis over the weekend. Tough going on 40 but we will have our 3 element tribander up for next year. We had some overseas visitors and it was a pleasure to welcome PA3BAG on Saturday night and also 9A2BD on Sunday. He did some operating and I'm sure found it a bit different working from Zone 29. A total of 98 DXCC countries worked during the contest. Logs are printed and I'm sure Neil VK6NE will be busy with qsling.
