Many thanks to EI2IT, EI3ENB, EI8EPB, and EI7IG for activating EI7T/P for the contest. It was good to get up Slievenamon again this year (it was on fire last year), and to hear so many operators on the band.

As the evenings are getting longer, the committee would like to encourage all members to come up on S18 to discuss any experiments they are conducting.
