[Corkradioclub] Directions for CW Field Day

[Timothy McKnight]

Hi Cormac,

I think we actually did halfway say goodbye but I had to nip to the house
right after so missed you leaving.  Also thanks for your nice comments.  It
worked out to be an ideal location with most of the things we
need--shelter, cooking facility, toilet and space nearby to erect a tent
and antenna.  And yes, I'm happy to make it an annual event if we all want
to do it again.

In the end we had 913 QSOs--not bad considering poor band conditions--very
much a respectable showing made by Cork Radio Club.  I'll try to put
together some statistics but I think your long graveyard shift may have put
you in the lead.

Also, several of us were taking pictures during the weekend and I know Dave
4BZ is collecting them.  If you've got any nice shots, email them directly
to Dave.

Thanks to you and everyone else for making it a good weekend.
