used tuner)

- 80m: Dipole @ 75'

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!
