Comments:

Well, looks like plan worked this time.
 I have started contest back in Missouri as KU1CW and
after 10 
hours/950 QSO's
into it-packed up, jumped on the plane and chased the
sun on my way to
Maui(KH6).
 Unpacked, hooked everything together, under cover of
darkness hanged 
130FT of
wire on the palm tree and went into contest, second
day of it as 
KH6/KU1CW.
 95% of the people I've called did not hear me and the
rest was 
slightly
confused.
 Contest is over now and hotel security noticed
antenna (hazard), so 
there are
no antenna and I'm ready to work and have some fun
(Golf), when I can.

 Some notes: AC6DD was the best TX/RX from US West
W4AN(W8JI) is the 
best from
anywhere with W4MYA right behind. WS4Y and K9CT were
the best TX/RX 
from the
Midwest. A lot of 'Big Guns' are quite unbalanced in
link budgeting-I 
had them
59+ and have tried to connect for 15-20min with no
luck at all...
 Had a surprising KH8Q QSO-and have heard him few
times after, hope to 
work him
from MO later.
 Thanks everyone and 73.
 Alex KH6/KU1CW (for a week...)
