Lots of work before the contest setting up stations, running beverages,
redoing AC wiring, making antenna phasing lines, laying down radials,
struggling with helium balloons -- we strung 1000's of feet of cable and
wire everywhere.  We all sat down to operate the contest VERY tired but made
up for it in enthusiasm and had a great time.  Propagation not good from
S.A. this year, rates disappointing, too much dead time on 15 and 20, low
bands were poor despite our extra effort to put out a good signal (but we
heard well!).  Superb location overlooking the Atlantic Ocean to Europe and
the U.S. -- Fernando de Noronha is a beautiful island!  Special thanks to
PY5EG and the Araucaria DX Group for organizing this multinational
multi-multi.
