Comments:
24 Hours before the contest, I was at the Thanksgiving night football game in
New Your with my wife and kids. Got back to the hotel at 1AM and up at 5:30 AM
to catch an 8AM flight to Barbados. Got to the station at 3:15PM (1915Z)to do a
checkout and debugged a bad connection in an amp keying line. With station
ready, I rested for 90 minutes (but could not sleep), ate dinner and then
operated 48 hours straight through.
Fell about 15 mults behind last year in the early going and struggled all
weekend to make them up. Ended up within 1.5% of last year's score.
The pileups were intense all weekend and overwhelming at times, particularly
with limited rest. 80 was tremendous the first night and had a great, but
brief, 160 opening to EU the second night.
Overall great contest and congratulations to the winners
QSL via NN1N and LoTW
Thanks to my wife Kathleen for her priceless help
Happy 46th year of Independence for Barbados.
73, Tom W2SC
