Charlie, <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>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!<br><br>

Comments:<br><br>
I spent several hours getting setup for the contest and the night before
everything was good.<br><br>
I was all ready to contest as SO SSB HP. That changed
quickly. First test call about 5 mins before<br><br>
the start and my amp failed. After about 30 minutes of trying to
find out what happened and trying<br><br>
to get the amp working (being on an Island resources are short). I gave
up and decided SO SSB LP <br><br>
would be my class. Late start and lost of HP but at least I am
contesting. That was short lived. <br><br>
Everyone here on the Island AC lost power. Hasn't happened for
months. The power would come on <br><br>
and go off in about 15 minute spans. That lasted for 5 hours!
Sometime shortly after noon the <br><br>
power stayed on. I was able to work until about 1am when a large
electrical storm started. One of<br><br>
those where you don't need your lights to see. This lasted until
about 5am. Of course bands<br><br>
had closed down from here and I just worked hard for the last few
contacts. I had a great run<br><br>
on 20 meters so I just stayed there for most of the time. But I had
a great time and made contacts<br><br>
with several club members and a tuff day contesting is better than a good
day at the beach.<br><br>
Well that may be stretching it a bit. 73... Keith,
