[3830] VP5Y WAE CW 2000 SO HP - Preliminary

[Elza Bud Foster]

Ugh!  I wanted to quit Saturday morning.  Thunderstorms forced an hour =
off early, then conditions
were so bad I took a five hour break.  Very loud on 80 and 40.  I =
thought I'd try to make that up
with more time on 20/15 at a much better rate.  This was a mistake!  I =
probably lost about
80 Q's on 20...

I woke up to rates of 5-15/hour.  Last year I was running EU at =
100/hour.  Saturday remained dreadful.  At least Sunday was pretty good.

Down 600 QSO's and 450,000 points from last year at WP2Z.   Multipliers =
were up...I concentrated
on moving EVERYBODY I could for the entire contest.  The Alpha 87A here =
at K4ISV's
rental on North Caicos Island makes band changes quick!

I haven't checked the QTC's and log.  This may change slightly.
