LU1DZ Crew Soapbox...

Fernando LW2DX - Great time with very nice friends.

Gabriel LU3DAT - (Contest debut) - My first ARRL International DX Contest in CW was a great experience, let me hang with great friends, have fun, to feel excited and adrenaline. Eagerly await the next one.

Alberto Silva LU1DZ - (ARRL DX CW since 1965) - Was a great time QSOing very good operators from the north and with very good friends on my side. Same pleasure since 49 years ago when this contest was 96 hours long...!!!

Marcelino LU7DSU - (Contest debut) - This was my first participation as an operator in a Multioperator's team. Although I'm not a skilled CW operator,being in a team with Al, LU1DZ, Fer LW2DX and Gaby, LU3DAT, really made me enjoy the contest and contribute with some "lower speed" QSOs. -- LU1DZ
