I had a typo in the operator calls in the original post. Operator was
K1XX, not K1ZZ as originally listed. 3 QSO penalty :-(

Comments:
Thanks to CO8DM and CO8ZZ for inviting us down to operate CQWW with them in
Cuba. We had a great time and learned a lot about Cuba while we were there.
Our operation was field day style, with seven antennas setup at the beach
near
Playa Blanca in Holguin, Cuba. We had a 160M inverted J (inverted L that
was
bent by the constant and strong winds), an 80M inverted J, 40M ground
plane, 20
vertical dipole array (VDA), 15M VDA, 10M VDA, and a short tribander for the
mult station. We had two amplifiers that gave us around 300 to 400W out.
Conditions weren't the best and we did not have a spotting network or
internet.
We needed to improve our 160M antenna situation, as others had difficulty
hearing us. We did great on 15M with the VDA and probably would have done
the
same on 10M, but there wasn't that much propagation. We noticed that we
were
constantly spotted incorrectly as something like T40K, T480, or something
like
that, even though we IDd after every Q. About 4% of our Qs were dupes.
