Love it Al.
I had no working rig last year but still really enjoyed seeing how well everyone did. Have no antennas this year but sure I can sling something up for 10m.
Bound to manage better than the 'nil point' I scored last year! Plus it's all good fun.
Count me in mate.

Will give it a go again. Didn't do too well last year so fingers crossed for this year.

You did better than me last year Alan mate.....so did everyone else!!
The more the merrier is what I say, it's all good fun.
I'm excitedly shopping around for more coax, making measurements and calculations for an EDZ dipole and wondering if it'll fit in the attic on a NNW/SSE firing line!

I think I should also like to commit to this, it will be an incentive to get on the air.
Details on how the competition is run would be appreciated.

A big thanks to you Craig for once again stepping up to organise the 10m summer challenge.
Looking forward to scoring at least more points than last year, (couldn't be worse! ), and hoping everyone who gets involved has some fun with it all remembering that this is what it's all about - An excuse to get on air and simply enjoy yourself.
All the best, Victor

Can't beat a dirty dipole for a bargain antenna. I'm sure you'll have 16ft of wire kicking about somewhere.

That's the plan Conor.
Have the wire, have the coax, have multiple means to check it......just need someone with good legs to put it up for me.
It's that or put some practice into my slingshot/lasso skills.
