03/13/2009 | PJ7B Have been doing this contest from St. Maarten for over 10 years. Very little activity on 15 and 10 meters this year. For one of the first times there was another PJ7 on the air in the contest so that really cut down the qso's on 20 meters. Did have some fun on 40 meters with a short run at the end of the contest on Sunday.

I am using the IC-7000 rig with the LDG AT-7000 tuner into a 124 ft long wire running up the outside of the 10 story condo building, I have about 250 ft of mini 8 coax that has to suck up a lot of rf. Generally the shack table is an ironing board but this year it was a small table.

But even with the bad conditions still had a lot of fun. -- W8EB
