They're on a tiny island in the tropics, and they're having REALLY rough 
WX. While working through simultaneous 10M pileups on both CW and SSB, 
they had to break several times for lightning storms, horizontal rain, 
and high winds. And when it isn't doing that, it's 110 degrees!  There 
are some really good operators on the air, and often the better ones are 
running 2-3 Q's minute.
