As you can see, the main band was 20m. The low bands were not very
productive, this probably caused by poor antennas.
Beeing the only JW on the bands, and almost the only zone 40 gave us
some nice pile- ups on 20/15. It is _really_ fun running
pile-ups at 5 qso/min. We had some really great runs into the US and EU,
and a couple into JA as well. We had a great time,
something we find most important, even though the score could have been
much higher with better antennas. We lost a lot of
multipliers due to our low activity on the lower bands. This time the
antennas for 80/40 had blown down before we arrived, so
we were only using some kind of longwire for 80/160, and a (to short)
delta-loop for 40m.
Once again, we had a great time,and this was certainly not our last
DX'Pedition effort. Thanks for calling us in the contest.
QSL for JW1BJA and JW5VK is via LA5VK, direct or bureau.
