Notes

ZW5B is not the best CW call in the world. It was funny in pile-ups. You could almost see the other op as he tried to figure out what was calling him. They almost always came back to Z? or ZW? or 7W? Then it would take as many as 10 repeats to get the call correct. I really appreciated the guys who could copy it correctly on the first try.

Oms has an awesome station. There was no interference between Marcelo on 15m and me on 10m. There is no local noise. Running JA on Saturday night I was amazed at how weak signals could be easily copied. One of the quietest places I have ever operated from.

Am I hooked? The experience of operating outside the US is a seductive one. I can't get the thought out of my head that I want to do something like this again!
