Comments:

Oh my, that was tough. First I got home late and it took a long time 
to get connected and the remote station working. FSK wasn't working,
(Hurricane damage?) so I scrambled to get AFSK working, not so easy 
when 3,400 mile away. I finally got AFSK working, but I had to operate 
without any monitor feedback, so I don't know how bad my audio was.
Made my first QSO at 0023Z. I thought the worst was over...
Internet into the Caribbean was slow and unreliable. Well, first it 
was slow, then at 0056z it dropped entirely (sorry K6LRN). I checked 
every few minutes, and got back on at 0150Z and reconfigured it all 
again. Then I slow-marched along for the rest of the contest, feeling 
like I had missed the exciting first half! Signals were much weaker 
than I recalled from March, and the noise level was very high on all 
bands. I gradually built up the numbers, and was relieved to make the 
number 70 before the end. Thanks for your patience as I came back slow 
and out-of-sync many times due to the delays. Its hard work being DX!
