3.5MHz Autumn Series - November CW results

In contrast to the final CW session last year, propagation in the November event was generally much more consistent giving all stations, including those from outside the UK&CD, an even chance of making a good score.  Some good DX was found from North America and Asiatic Russia and there were a total of 27 different countries in the logs with stations from 14 of those submitting an entry.

Thanks to Graham G4FNL for running the bonus station G6XX, he made 163 QSOs from his QTH in Brighton.
