Me encanta esto! (I love this!) 

Many thanks to Bonnie (my XYL) who let me leave on Valentine's Day. 
Also a big thank you to wonderful hosts Octavio and Martha.

I think my Spanish is getting somewhat better with these trips to Central Am. 

Now if I can just learn to send CW, type, and not sleep I'll be ready for the
next contest, hah.

Huge pileups on 15m from 18-22z Day 1...Wow! On Day 2 it was mentioned that my
15m signal had a spur about 1 to 2 kcs up...so maybe time for the shop? 

15 hours of 100+ rate (13 on Day 1...two on Day 2). 

10m was dead...although I see the V3 gang made some Qs...umm must of missed
something there! Had a bandpass filter in place but couldn't have the 817 on
when I was on 15m so I need to rethink that approach. 

Downloaded getscores about ten mins before the contest started, hah! Would be
nice to see more participants post their scores though. 

It was great to defrost from the Chicago winter...we got a lot of snow this yr.
