Ray kinda neat seeing this after few years! Thanks! WD4KXB is now W4DC living down in FL, Also part of the team is Cliff W4CE now in the area of Raleigh NC, and myself at the time KJ4VG now K5OF living here near the southern outer banks of of NC, active PVRC member and former member of the now dismantled W4RM contest efforts/team, soon to join some of NR4M's effort.





It was a great time and MYA and FU were tremendous! Bob has some great stories of getting a AMP Supply amplifier up and running by cutting cap plates and la oud bang coming from the Amp while working with the crazy Montserrat line voltage that had us all jumping out of our skin when it happened cause wem were all busy inside the rental villa getting things set up, sounded like a gunshot! We just about had to change our drawers!

LOL! . Had a great location up on the hill above the golf course that was below us beaming to NA.





I have a copy of the original video (VHS Tape) that Denis W4DC put together after our return. Also a fun fact upon leaving we met KK9A John and friend who I believe is now his spouse at the old airport who was also operating on the island Single Band (unbenownst to us). John is a fantastic op and living here in NC also just south of my QTH.





It was fun times and some great stories of the effort can be told by Bob and Jeff!





73! Ed K5OF in NC
