Comments:
This was a fun five week vacation in Aruba. After doing some antenna and house
work, I did the usual tourist things such as riding ATVs, snorkeling, shopping,
going to the beach and dining out with my wife. It was also nice to visit
fellow contesters W2GD / P40W and AE6Y / P49Y. The CQWW contests are major
events where the best operators compete. The CW contest in particular really
attracts the most talented operators in the world. I am happy that I was able
to participate in both modes. I operated QRP for this contest and I was able to
run stations for nearly the entire period, which is not bad for the bottom of
the solar cycle. I had so much fun running stations that I spent too little
time chasing multipliers. My 10m openings were very limited, however
conditions were great on the other bands, especially 40m. I worked only one
station on all six bands - HC8N. I did work a number of stations on four and
five bands. I had a great time in the contest and it was the perfect way to
end my vacation. A description and picture of my antennas are on
http://www.qrz.com/p40a . I would like to thank everyone for the QSOs. Please
