I remember when Chip Margelli, K7JA visited me in the Virgin Islands 
bringing along his FT-101EE. Using my call running 100 watts Chip won 
first place in both ARRL Phone and CW
sweepstakes the same year.  This was a feat never ever accomplished 
before.   He won with a good combination of circumstances, great op, 
great location, and then a rare multiplier.  Chip used paper logs, paper 
dupe sheets, and good antennas from my shack out on a peninsula with the 
ocean 50'  below a cliff where the beams were on a tower.  Everything 
helped Chip out but not as much as his determination to get the job done.
