Well done John. I tried a couple at lunchtime yesterday but lost out to other operators. I did get back to a French station on 12m, but then had a couple of minutes wasted of my break whilst he put me on hold because he had a telephone call But I did the polite thing and waited for him, and he did come back. I made a couple of DX in the evening, but nil points...
EA8DO - Canary Islands LU3MAM - Argentina
Radio time will be minimal for me today and tomorrow which is a shame as the SFI looks to remain in good shape. Hopefully the predictions are accurate and you all manage to nab a point or two...

I was so lucky to be sitting on 28480 when he first called, so got in first shout before the Big Boys knew he was there
