A group from the Amateur Radio Sociaty of Barbados entered the contest this
year, signing 8P2K. We used all Kenwood equipment - TS 850 and TS 690.
Antennas included a KLM KT34XA and a Cushcraft A3, along with a Butternut
HF2V, and wires on 40, 80 and 160m.

Operators: 8P6SH, 8P6GI, 8P6QA & 8P6JB, along with Harriet - 8P6GI's XYL who
kept us watered and fed all week-end.

Station Description:   A:    TS 690s
                                         Cushcraft A4
                                         G5RV

                                 B:     TS 850s
                                          Ameritron AL 811H
                                          40,80,160m slopers
                                          KLM KT34XA
                                          80m Dipole
                                          Butternut HF2V 40/80m vertical

It was a great contest. Next time, we'll have to add an amplifier for both
stations, and ensure that it can run on 40 and 80m at night.

We used complete station control, and the network and Writelog software
performed flawlessly all week-end long.

Thanks to the several ops who travelled over to exotic QTH's to hand out
mults.

See you in the next contest.


73, Dean - 8P6SH
