Comments:

I think down here conditions were somewhat worse than last year, and so is the
score.  However, 10 was open but there were no stations, or at least it was
more productive to stay on 15.  Had 200 less contacts on 40 this year than last
year, which hurt score a bit.

I arrived back to Sao Paulo on Wednesday before the contest and had to stop in
emergency room due to stomach bug probably caught in Cairo earlier on the week.
 Due to lack of time for preparation and testing everything before the contest I
had multiple problems with FT-2000 radio control, Winkey and N1MM program,
resulting many restarts of the radio and/or N1MM program, that is why I
suddenly dissapeared from the band so many times...

Congratulations to both CW5W and PW2D for great scores from this part of the
world.

And BIG thanks again to my brother PY5EG/PY2OMS for the use of his fine contest
station, it is always so easy to operate from there, and only 3 hours drive from
Sao Paulo city.

This was probably my last contest from Brazil when I have been living here past
6+ years, and we are looking forward to move back to US (California) in couple
months.  There are number of great contest stations here and more seem to be
coming up.  We have very active contesting community here and it has been
priviledge to operate from such great stations as ZW5B, PS2T and ZX5J over
here.  Only regret I have is that there was not more time for this fun,
especially during my earlier years here.  But I hope to be able to come back
often !

Next on the air activity will be from PJ2X in IARU if everything goes according
to schedule and I'm planning to operate CQ WW DX this year from SU and C9, but
not sure yet in which order.
