Comments:
Pileups were huge most of the time during the contest. When I changed bands, it
took only about 3 contacts for the pile to build. I was hampered a bit by my
rig failing to key my amplifier. I rigged up a 'finger' switch to key the amp,
which made it difficult to send using the paddle. As a result, I had to rely on
the computer to do most of the sending, which was awkward when I could only copy
partial callsigns. It was also quite tiring.
Montserrat is a beautiful island with very friendly people, and it was a
pleasure to operate there for a second time. Many thanks to Frankie, VP2MNI,
for his assistance and to David and Clover Lea, proprietors of Gingerbread
Hill. David and Clover are very ham friendly and went out of their way to make
my operation a success. I left behind a transceiver and a triband yagi so that
future ham guests to Gingerbread Hill can get on the air easily during their
vacations. Feel free to contact me for information.
