It still gives a good account of itself and wasn't so easily overloaded by the Pack of QRM on 300! I heard UR5WCE quite early on and he called me again after a few minutes. The event was really quite patchy, with few signals lasting more than a minute or so before disappearing into the noise or being overtaken by stronger signals. Also heard were, SP7TEE and 9A2SB. SP8WJW didn't rx my callsign correctly, so too with LZ2PG in KN23. Thanks to all for the QSO's and fun. 73, David	G4KUX, Nick - IO94BP Rig: K3 +TVT+LDMOS 4x8ele I0JXX ODX: YO3FOU 2294klm Log: 17:43 SP6KEP JO90CK 1430K 17:48 SP9DNO JO90NE 1500K 17:49 SP8WJW KN09SR 1677K 18:06 YO3FOU KN34BK 2294K Gotaways YO4GJH Comment: Missed the first 10mins of the opening, some very strong signals from SP.
