The 5A7A expedition had an amazing 160 meter QSO total of 7653 for a world
record which I believe still stands...73, de gary

You guys make me feel bad since in 1969 (K4IA/KC4) I was the only 160 
meter op from Navassa and didn't crack 200....but that was with a 170 
foot wire strung rock to rock across Lulu Bay with a pair of Drake Twins 
and a series capacitor against the railroad track that was there as a 
sort of ground.  The good news is that I worked the all of the faithful 
TB stalwarts of that era including W1BB Stew Perry who was chasing TB 
DXCC as others were.
