This is why I was happy to leave -30 C behind, and trade it in for +30 for
a few days!

CCC,

We've been so crazy busy here that we haven't had time to stop and pat
ourselves on the backs. But we should. Hopefully you have seen the claimed
scores at http://3830scores.com/currecscores.php?arg=58cqsEzHifyi2 . PJ2T
posted the highest score in the world, any category, both DX and US/VE
sides, and also made the largest number of QSOs in the world. This comes on
the heels of winning CQWW CW last November as well as the Stew Perry
(K8ND), and the ARRL10 Meter Contest (KB7Q) in our category.

I attached the photo of the entire team. Caption's not included because I'm
sure you know everyone by now.

A HUGE THANKS to all of our CCCers for making this kind of achievement
possible. All of the seemingly endless maintenance, organizational work,
logistics coordination, financial accounting, practice and preparation all
add up to bring us some great successes.

That said, the BIGGEST success is the fun and fellowship. I thank you all
for your friendship -- it's a privilege to know you.

     Thanks, 73,

             - Geoff / Curacao
