A superb, challenging puzzle; one which was difficult to walk away from.

Clues were generally excellent (I thought 22 was a tad weak), a nice PDM and a novel endgame.

Many thanks, Rebel. Well done!

Don't think there will be many complaints about this puzzle being too easy, though I'm not totally convinced by the final step.

Thanks, Rebel, and welcome back. It's been a while since your last Listener, nearly 16 years, and I see that was an Ascot Gold Cup winner.
No complaints from me, even though I have had to walk away (reluctantly) from the endgame.

Thanks Rebel for a very challenging and enjoyable gridfill.
I guess this is the beast we were all expecting. I enjoyed the challenge - thanks Rebel.

This one hinges on those messages in the dropped letters, and it's quite a tough one to crack if you've made a couple of errors (as I did) or have a couple of gaps. One or two of of the answers were quite obscure, too.
So helpful to read the preamble. Just taken on board that there's 180-degree symmetry. Certainly speeds things up a bit...
Can't do the endgame, but posting to support the site.
Brilliant composition and very good clues. Still 18 days to go.   
Thanks Rebel
A la Cruncher, I completed this forgetting the 180 symmetry, but at least it resolved a couple of unknowns when I remembered it. Lovely puzzle. I have an alternative, equally valid I think, answer to one clue which held up my endgame a bit, but even so I wouldn't have said this was the hardest this year. Thanks Rebel!
