Comments:
First and foremost, a very special thanks to N3KS for inviting me to use his
incredible station in Costa Rica. Kam continues to make great additions to the
antenna farm and other station hardware.
This was the first time I managed to go the the distance as a single op in a 48
hour contest. The prep several weeks prior to the contest really paid off -
especially the increased level of exercising.
The bands turned out to be solid. The 10M opening on Saturday lasted about 45
minutes and it was much less and weaker on Sunday. Nonetheless, it was very
productive for some much needed mults.
While 15, 20 and 40 were great producers, I was really thrilled with the low
band performance. Kam has installed a pair of 80M wire yagis (3 elements roughly
100 feet high) in the treetops of the jungle. These antennas were fantastic -
and RX was really nice. Dual pileup was much easier on the low bands this year
because of the antennas and nearly perfectly quiet bands. I really enjoyed the
low bands this time.
Congrats to all of the others out there who put in great scores and to those who
travelled to put some good DX on the air.
On a final note, thanks to everyone who gave me a lot of encouragement and tips
on how to improve (especially KL9A and N3KS) - this really is one awesome
hobby!
73!
