comments:
we definitely experienced the disturbed conditions - this score is about 10
million points below our last m/m which was two years ago. we had two new ops
this trip - dave, n3rd who got his fill of shoveling on 40 meters and did a
fine job of it; and lee, ky7m who swapped africa for galapagos and, being the
new guy, got 10 meters as a bonus. he stuck it out on 10, did a great job
there, and did some relief operating on 80 as well. dave, w6nl was at the helm
on 80 doing a masterful job again this year, with needed help from barb, k6bl.
the gator (n5rz) was in charge of getting a sweep and keeping lids under
control on 20. george, w2vjn returned for 160m duties and did a great job
there. k6aw was on 15 and n5ko filled in wherever and whenever needed, for as
long as necessary.
we used five k3´s this trip 160-15 and everyone was very pleased with the
radio´s performance.
secial thanks to our hosts guido, hc8gr and chelita, hc8fr and their family for
their warm hospitality and friendship. thanks to the expeditions who make it
out to less-traveled places to put on rare mults, and thanks to everyone for
the qso´s.
73, steve k6aw/hc1
