Comments:

First I want to thank my GF Ana CR7ADN for standing this radio contesting
madness and helping out laying the coaxes and radials :)

Secondly my good friend Kamal N3KS for inviting me to operate as Single Op from
his fantastic station in Bijagua, Costa Rica. 

Also need to mention my friend Freddy for all he his done for us during our
stay in Costa Rica, "no pressure" :)

Amazingly we setup the station on Tuesday in just about 5 hours with almost
everything working at first! Only some tuning on the 80m vertical and also some
config with Win-Test and the radio K3 was needed to eliminate the strange CW
sound it is produced at speeds above 36 WPM. BTW if anyone has this issue here
is a good hint (tnx to Bob N6TV it fixed my issue):

Unfortunately I had no SO2R box but I can imagine that the score could be much
much higher with the endeless CQs without answer that I had. Conditions were
very good but just noone called... was a bit stressing.

Tried desperately to move a BC, ND and MT to 160m but it was simple not
possible! Either the VE7 had no 160m or I just couldn't hear both MT stations I
tried to move! Well, I might to call CQ a bit more next time on 160m (Alternate
CQ might help!)

Congratulations to all the SOAB operators, it was really nice competition.


Thanks to all for the QSOs and cu on the next one.
