Great effort Gareth! 10m and 15m were good to NA but EU signals were weak. Had a couple of runs of 100 per hour to NA which was fun. Great 80m opening on day 1.

Good luck Gareth. I'll be on in some form. Probably 10m only if conditions are good or failing that 15m. 10m was open to EU last night ZL time.
