installing new antennas
         for 40, 20 & 10  meter, under a hot sun and warm temp of 33 =
degrees Celsius (at
         Friday evening my skin turned red as a shrimp) trying to work =
the contest all band,
         3 hours before the contest start, the 20 meter 5 elements yagi's =
rotor stuck NW,
         also the 2 x 10 meter's antennas didn't work very well,  by the =
way, I take a shower,
         a little rest and decide work 15 meter only.... Bad choice, =
nobody in 15 (everybody
         was in 10 meter), bad propagation from SA and heavy lightning =
storm,
         made a contest headache during all the weekend.
         The high point was analyze, all the station's weak point for an =
SO2R AB operations.
        (WPX SSB 2002 maybe)
         The low point, the long delay in the return to my home flight =
(LU1IV's is=20
         900 km from my home), made me a BIG problem with my boss, =
because
         I promise my return on early Monday morning, but appear on my =
