Comments:
We had a blast. After several days of hard work putting up what was essentially
a field day style operation and facing numerous "challenges", the station
finally came together and worked nearly faultlessly for the entire 48 hours. We
then spent Monday taking it all down and packing it away for the next one! In
addition to the 8765 contest Qsos, we netted an additional 8600+ Qsos during our
10 day stay. Not bad for two hackers!
Our host, Lambert, J73LC, produced the J75A callsign literally moments before
the contest. Special tnx to Jon, W4IX, for last minute equipment assistance.
Recognition must also be given to our local friend, Don-Ford, for climbing
(barefoot) many tall palm trees and hanging pullies, and for fixing some special
island cuisine. Lambert, also produced his normal miracles, not the least of
which was coming up with an antique A3 and the biggest bamboo pole you have ever
seen!
