Comments:
PS2T is usually operated in one of the multi-categories by its regular team of
5-6 Brazilian members, often completed by a foreign Star.
During the ARRL-CW-2017 weekend, all of the regular ops had life commitments
other than radio. So, the Old Man was left alone to keep PS2T going in this
important contest.
After 50 years of serious contesting, I decided to now make a semi-serious
effort, which would be more appropriate for the Old Man. This included sleeping
for 4-5 hours both days, decent lunches and dinners with some red wine, and a
15-30 min. break every 2-3 hours for a walk and some gymnastics.
I am grateful to my host Atilano, PY5EG, and his team for this opportunity.
The station worked fine without any technical problems. The only problem was a
thunderstorm with some lightning; I had to disconnect the antennas for 2-3
hours.
