[LCC] IARU result

[Mark, K5ER]

Charlie,
         You obviously haven't seen pictures of Keith's place and 
surroundings. When you live on an island, you are pretty much surrounded by 
beach. If I remember correctly, Isla Mujeres translates into "Island of 
Women". In the morning, the sun rise over the Caribbean and it sets over 
the bay toward Cancun. He can see both from his house. Its a tough 
life...Oh heck, who are we kidding, the guys in P4 and 8P got nothing on 
him, other than taller towers. Way to go, Keith!

73,
Mark, K5ER
