Comments:

A great opportunity to operate a station in one of the best DX/Contest locations
of the world!  The result made the 65 hour round trip travel worth it!

The first 3000 QSOs came easy at just more than halfway in the contest but the
last 20 hours felt as if I was doing something wrong with less callers and a
subsequent lower QSO rate. A quick search of the band showed that most stations
were in the log already.  I asked P40G during the latter part of contest and he
said it was slow on his end too. Maybe I missed a good opening but I felt that
I did not really get a good 2nd tier caller wave at all.

The Yaesu FT5000DX radios at CR2X are a pleasure to work with.  A lot of work
has gone into the station and antenna setup at CR2X.  Many hams do not
appreciate the effort that it requires to maintain a station like CR2X to a
competing standard.  Well done to the Arcala team and thanks for the
opportunity to use the station during it's first CQWW RTTY entry!

The N1MM and MMVARI combination worked perfectly for me during this software
driven contest.  

Thanks for all the QSO's !

Bernie, ZS4TX
