Radio 1: Kenwood TS-850SAT 100W
Radio 2: Kenwood TS-440S   100W
Antennas:  - 20/15/10m: Force 12 C3 @ 45' (in poor shape, not resonant anywhere,
used tuner)
           - 40m:  Dipole @ 65'
           - 80m:  Dipole @ 75'
           - 160m: Wilted ground plane, elevated radials not elevated


Notes: 

- First ever SOAB from outside the USA...great fun
- Took 10 minutes off Saturday afternoon to hook up second radio, was doing too
much 
  antenna work prior to the contest to set up SO2R
- Had to sleep each night, too exhausted from doing antenna work in the sun to
put in a
  100% effort and get anywhere close to 48 hours in the chair
- Had an excellent QTH...it was amazing how I could run stations on 40 with a
dipole and 100W
- All QSLs via K2PF (cards will be ready in a few weeks)

Thanks for all the Qs and QSYs!
