08/26/2002 | J75KG This was our third IARU contest from J75KG. This year's operation was by George, J75KG/K5KG and Fred, J79MM/NA2U. We used a two radio setup with the second radio (FT890) being used to spot mults for the main station (IC756ProII/AL572). The two rigs' laptops were networked, and WriteLog was used for logging. Antennas were a C3@20' plus full wave loops on 40 and 80.

The 10-day operation went off without a hitch, thanks in part to assistance from Lambert, J73LC, our resident prime-minister-of-how-to-get-things-done-in-an-island-way! The most memorable happenings were finding a very angry land crab with my toe, and a experiencing a violent wind-rain-thunder-lightning storm during the wee hours of the contest. We had to shut down due to the lightning for about an hour. The crab met his Maker!

Qsls for J75KG go to Steve, KU9C, to whom we are forever greatful for his efforts in keeping the wall paper moving.
