Pretty lame score, but considering I don't do CW, it's not that bad.

CT says op time was something like 20 hours.  I S&P'ed almost the entire
time, except for
1 hour each morning on 20M....and it shows in the line score.  I was such
fresh meat when
I did CQ that the pile was so huge I could hardly pick anything out.  I felt
like DX.  It
was a solid roar of CW and was a half a KC wide.  Unbelievable.  I can't
imagine listening
to that for 48 hours from some island.

HiLites:
42 Total new band/mode/countries, 18 new band countries, (0 all-time new ones)
Worked YV0, Aves and PY0TI, Trindade on 20M SSB for all time new ones!

CU from FS in 3 days...YIPEE!!!!

(Watch for FS5PL multi-op in CQ WW 160 SSB and ARRL DX SSB)
