          Soapbox : Good to see PVRC out in force for this one.

    Thanks to YS1MAE, YS1MS and Club de Radioaficianados de El Salvador (CRAS) for making this happen. 
    These folks are some of the nicest I have ever met in my ham travels. El Salvador is a beautiful country, yet off 
    the beaten path for most tourists. It is politically stable now, unlike the situation in neighboring Nicaragua. 
    I'll probably never return there unless things drastically change. 

    Mucho fun in the sun playing radio. SO1R operation 
    running wide open, so I missed a few mults that should have been pretty easy. 
    Despite my contributions to a local shaman, 10 meters never opened at all. Everything worked perfectly except for the operator. 
    I had planned to sleep 3 hours per night, but overslept by 3 hours on Sunday. My station is very simple. 
    All my equipment fits in one suitcase (with wire antennas and clothes for a month) and a carry on Pelican case for the K3. 
    The antennas were provided by YS1YS. Thanks for all the Qs. I leave here for Belize in a few days. 

    See you as V31NC in ARRL DX SSB from the beach at Placencia!
