Not bad, Lloyd for the short time you were on the air!

My standard practice when doing S and P is to move down the band, so that's 
probably how you missed me.

I did mainly S and P during the contest.

Wanted to do much more cq ing, but just never got there.

I bet if I had done more cq ing, my score would have been higher.


Oh well, "Live and learn", as they say.
