Congratulations on your effort. It was nice to work you on 15m. Appreciate the pictures. It's always cool to see the places you've worked. It's also good to hear that your team was having fun. That's the way all contesters should be.
Well done!

As an op for this V26DX M2 low power effort. I can assure anyone that is considering renting this location that it is excellent for spouse and radio.
I puttered around with CW before the test and made a 100 or so qs to mostly EU station, in about an hour. And what a pile-up! I planned to make more qs after the test but the radios had to fly home with the ops that brought them on Monday after the test. So sorry for no more CW guys.
But we will be back with our radio soon.
The long 160m dipole I put up and left for future ops is fed with ladder line. So bring a balanced line tuner. It has great gain on 80-10 and is a dipole on 160m. EU is loud on it and with the C4 now in place you will be loud on all bands. One time I was running at 350+ an hour on 40m with this dipole.
The height of the antennas and the proximity of a salt water path for all of US, PAC, EU, Asia make it ideal. Even low power is extremely fun.
We will add a low band listening antenna in the future too. But 160 and 80 worked very well on this dipole.
A really nice place to operate, relax, and have fun with hardly any work to make the antennas play.
The hotel management is cool about radio and they have a guy who will help you on the roof. There is also a beach guy who sells alloe who will climb the mountain to put the dipole up too!
Call Doug and do it.....or maybe I should keep it a secret.

We had a blast! But Doug, I think you'll find that operator sign-on wasn't followed. A large chunk of my time was spent on 15 and 20.

Hey Jarvis, quit whining. This could not have been totally about scoring anyway. What a great location! I think I might to try it on without the contest.
You guys did really well, congratulations from the
pea green with envy people who suffered fall, winter, and spring in the lovely northeast megalopolis.

Yo Jarvis...It was not meant to be a band listing of Ops, just a generalized listing...We all know where you operated....I have the UBN report :-)
