Comments:

Peter, W2CDO and I again teamed up for this year's running. Our goal was 1000
Q's, which we barely missed last year. 

We were well on our track  until the rotor died on Saturday morning with the
yagi facing south. Not good timing. It took most of the day to get it moving
again. Unfortunately, the inv-L was no substitute. 

On the plus side, everything inside worked -- new radio/amp combination and K9AY
rx antenna. And my CW skills were not as rusty as I had feared. 

We managed to work 7 on all bands, all in the Caribbean 

In the end, while we had a good time, the results were almost exactly the same
as last year, although it took 25% more time. The big difference was on 15
meters, where our numbers were *way* lower. 

The on-line scoreboard made it that much more interesting. I hope more folks
will be using it in the future. 

See you in the next one! 

73,
