Comments:

David, OK1DTP visited me for a week during his two week Miami holiday.  Somehow
he convinced me to do a M/S even though my station is poorly arranged for such
an effort (I would normally do single-band 10M).  I know David had a blast, and
it was a new experience for me - using the OH2AQ Cluster and working split on
40M.
The station: FT-1000MP, AL-811A (600W), N1MM Logger.
Antennas: TH7-DXX @ 65ft, 40M dipole @ 35ft, 80/160 dipoles @ 60ft.
My 80M dipole had to be re-tuned for 75M with the understanding that David would
do all operating there (bad experience years ago caused me to decide never again
to venture there).  I was surprised to collect 71 countries on 40M with just the
little 66ft wire on a 35ft push-up mast.  Fifteen, as expected, was the work
horse.  Ten yielded almost 100% Caribbean and SA, although somehow one EA7 made
it to the log.  All in all, a fun and successful operation.
