Comments:
I know.. I must have been crazy to do 160 single band from the Carribean. My
main purpose on this trip was to help my friend K4BAI (PJ4A) prepare for the
contest. I decided at the last minute to do 160 single band since the South
America record seemed to be within easy reach. It took just about 6 hours to
break that record. Thanks to Noah, K2NG, for suggesting the beverage down the
road behind the towers. This road ran down into a valley with cliffs blocking
all directions except for the USA. We ran a 500 foot beverage down it. All I
can say is it was amazing how well this antenna worked. It was by far the best
RCV antenna I have used since I have been coming to this QTH.
I also made about about 1000 more QSO's on the other bands on Sunday. The
rates were high since I was a new station for everyone to work. I am sorry
about my sudden QSY's in the middle of a pileup. PJ4A had priority on which
band to operate and I had to QSY so I would not effect John's effort.
Thanks for the QSO's and to K2NG for the use of his fine station. Hopefully we
will be back next year.
