Hey John,
I am sure ZF2NT is pulling your leg and just wants to be sure they are
guaranteed a GA mult on 10M. ;)
In last year's contest I did not have a 10M Q with ZF2NT; however, I worked him
on 20 and 40M, ZF1A on 15 and 40M, with my QRP stn and wire antenna.
But, since ZF2NT is specific about 10M Q's, I have worked the Caymans on 10M
(ARRL DX contests): ZF2AH on SSB in 2001 and ZF2NT on CW in 2002. (QRP; wire
antenna)
