Greg.. nice to hear from you. I very much appreciate your comments 
regarding the FP/VE7SV website -- it was a true labor of love for me.
 
Great news that you'll be traveling to the Maxotel for CQWW (CW) this 
fall -- I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. Like everything concerned 
with a DXpedition, planning is the key that separates truly successful 
from mediocre operations.  To help you in your upcoming endeavors, I  
have posted a new link off the website 
 http://www.bcdxc.org/fpve7sv_dxpedition_story.htm  to the complete 
*FP/VE7SV story* as it was published earlier this year. I think it will 
give you tremendous insight into what it took for our operation to be 
the monumental success that it was on the world stage.
 
If after reading the story you still have questions, please contact 
Dale, VE7SV at dale.green at aircanada.ca <mailto:dale.green at aircanada.ca>  
He would be pleased to offer whatever assistance you require.

Paul:
 
You have a wonderful web site, with good info  on your FP trip.
 
A group of MI hams are planning on going to the Maxotel for CQWW CW in 
November.  So far we have K8AQM, K8DD, AC8W, W8IQ (all of them have 
operated from St Pierre) K8MM and myself (K8GL). 
 
Congrats on the third place in M/M in the contest!
 
I have some questions about your trip.  I'd appreciate your help:
1. How did you ship all of the antennas?
2. Was power adequate for your m/m?
3.  Did you leave any antennas?
4.  What were your antennas on each band?
 
Thanks for your help!
