Comments:

Thanks to all who participated.  This was mostly a test of a new antenna that I
installed this past summer - a full sized delta loop with it's flat top around
170ft above the ground.  I used a drone that I modified to 'carry and drop'
using a remotely controlled electro-permanent magnet in order to drop the loop
corner lines precisely over the (really high) tree branches.  The antenna
seemed to work well, although I haven't done an RBN analysis yet to confirm.

Conditions seemed quite good both nights of the contest from here, although
there were many nearby storms (the rainy season started and stayed late this
year in northwest Costa Rica) on Friday night which made pulling Q's out of the
noise quite a chore.  The second night of the contest had much less QRN here and
there seemed to be fewer stations that I couldn't pull out of the noise.  Sorry
to those who called and I was not able to hear well enough.

73,
Kam
