Soapbox :

The only significant oversight was a shortage of beer on the Sunday! (G0IVZ/P)

For once everything worked - no equipment problems at all for the entire weekend! We even had resonant antennas on all bands (G3GHN/P)

Just two of us doing everything! (G3GLL/P)

We think this is our best ever QSO total, despite poor conditions on 10 and 15m (G3GRS/P)

Remind me never to use an end fed wire again. Matching is a nightmare (G3PJT/P)

Last year bothered by people dog training..moved this year and people setting-up clay pidgeon shooting...as it goes probably doing NFD 2005 from a central reservation on M25 as it may be safer!...still enjoyed it and an increased score to boot. (G3SAD/P)

First entry for several years (G3TRF/P)

A 3 course salad lunch served on the sunday which brought 20+ on site to make it a social event. (G4ARN/P)

The QRP section suits the smaller 2-3 man teams like ours (G4OBK/P)

Very good weather over the weekend. Sunburn on the Isle of Man is unheard of! (GD0EMG/P)

An enjoyable contest. As three of the group were NFD regulars in the 1960's it was in a sense, a re-union to activate N.Ireland using its oldest callsign. (GI6YM/P)

It was probably the only location in the UK that had no sunshine the entire weekend. Just cloud and drizzle. (GM0AAA/P)

A late solo entry due to circumstances. 18 hours was my limit. (GM3JKS/P)
