[CQ-Contest] CQ-Contest Digest, Vol 141, Issue 25

[Marvin Bloomquist]

Ed,

 From a contesting standpoint the place having been activated recently 
is not all bad. N6ZZ and I went to 3C back in 1996. It had not been 
activated for some time and the pileups were horrendous - so bad they 
kept our rates down. Good luck - sounds like a fun trip. Hope to work 
you in the contest.

73, Marv N5AW

On the upside, there have been several big name ops that have activated this DXCC in the last several months so they should have some first hand experience to share.
