Comment:
Used the first major world wide contest from this location
mostly for monitoring of conditions and openings. Interesting
findings (e.g. 10m openings into Caribbean at local midnight).
Nearly lost the voice totally after two third of the contest
(Never SSB without CQ machine again :). Despite the good condx
on 15 and 10 the 20m band was nearly dead the first day.
Next goal: Good antennas for 40..160.

Cu in the CW-part,

73, Joerg, YB1AQS
