Region 1 NFD 2009

Couldn't commit for a whole weekend, as I was on family duty at a party on  Sunday. I managed to get out of the party set up duties and I strung up an antenna in a field behind my in-laws house and had some fun as G5YC/p for four dry hours with my K2. Although I tested the set up on Saturday with a few  Qs, the laptop refused to play on Sunday, so I was back to a hand key with pen and  paper so the log frequencies were therefore and the serial numbers a bit of a mess. Balancing a key on my knee led to some dodgy sending as well. Conditions seemed Ok - a spot of Es on 10,  but 15 was flat so 20m took the brunt of the work. Club: Imperial College Amateur Radio Society. K2 and V beam 40m per leg, 120 degree apex at 10m agl.
