Comments:
The log contains a fair chunk of non EU contacts since I was working everyone
and not going for the score. Sorry for not being able to fulfill request for
band changes and for handling only a limited number of QTCs.
This was actually a mind boggling experience for me having been in the
Caribbean for the first time myself. The noise was non-existent (except some
atmospheric noise on 80) and I could hear quite well. The antenna was situated
about 60 feet from the shoreline and it worked great.
Big thanks to Lali, VE3NE for loaning me his Chushcraft vertical which I have
used for 80 meters and all the time he had spent testing the same with me.
I have also used the same antenna base for 40-10 meters by installing
pre-marked aluminum sections and extending / collapsing them as needed for each
band.
Also thank-you goes to VE3FF, VE3EK, VE3TA and VE3UTT for all their invaluable
help preparing for the trip.
Equipment used: Elecraft K3, TL-922 amp and a home made 1/4 Lambda ground
plane vertical.
