Finished just short of the existing South America record. Condx proved worse
than expected, especially on Sunday. A few very slow hours both mornings. Best
rates after Europe closed, to be expected.

A lot of work was put into getting all antennas up and running again before the
contest. Thanks to the whole team and especially John, W2GD, for all the hard
work, it really paid off. :-)

Even me as a rather average CWer enjoyed the pileups and rate immensly! Will be
hard to beat when back in Germany. ;-)

Now eager to learn how the competition finished. A pity they didn't post to the
online scoreboard. I'm sure they watched us all the time. ;-)

Thanks for all the calls!

Once renting a Caribbean shack was one of my dreams. As you know dreams come
true if you just work hard enough. ;-) Can only recommend renting from Ben,
DL6RAI, details on www.p49v.com
