ARRL DX is a fun contest for a "little pistol" station like mine in
Turks & Caicos. We're close to W/VE and LP can put in a decent signal. It
also means that most LP home stations in North America can get our attention.
High location over water helps and the call sign adds some more Db. This was the
first year we have had a good 160M antenna which made a huge difference in
mults. Special thanks to Guy, K2AV, who designed the FoldedCounterPoise which is
perfect for the rocky terrain and limited space at our QTH. Guy also coached me
on the installation and spent several hours on the phone before my trip and
while I was working here to get everything up and tuned to best possible
performance. I must say it played very well as the LP results show
