| Nine members of the Bristol
Contest Group travelled to Curacao in July 2001.
We were guests at the super QTH of W0CG and the
Caribbean Contest Consortium from 19th through
31st July.
Operating the IOTA contest from
the other side of the Atlantic was an interesting
experience. As PJ2Y we made 2328 QSOs and scored
about 6 million points in the contest.
Outside the contest over 12,000 QSOs were made by
members of the group signing PJ2/owncall.
