Comments:  Wow!  HAM HEAVEN.  Terrific propagation and loud signals.  I did 
not know that KP2 was so rare (based on the number of Europeans calling!).   
Outstanding equipment set-up tnx to Larry, KE2VB -- FT-1000, Ameritron amp, 
and a F-12 C-4.  I also worked another 825 Qs before/after the 'test as 
W6XK/KP2.   Karen (KA6REN) and I also enjoyed the island life -- food, drink, 
beaches, culture, and those sunsets!!  I was extremely pleased with 7.7M (The 
North America SOSB/10 record is 4.7M, set by J68AX in 1992).
