Here is how we finished the ARRL DX contest:
229 QSOs
62 Multipliers
Grand score: 42594
The majority of the activity was on 20 meters with a few on 15 meters. The MUF hovered between 20 and 15 meters over the weekend permitting a few openings on 15 meters. Pretty good considering the solar cycle is so quiet (in our favor we didn't have to content with solar flares/magnetic storms to knock out the bands. The Yeasu FT101ZD and the FL2100 amp got a good workout.

The long awaited activation of Desecheo Island is scheduled February 12 – 26,2009. Desecheo Island is currently ranked # 6 overall, #3 in Europe and #2 in Asia among the most wanted DXCC entities! This 2009 Dxpedition will be led by veteran DXers Dr. Glenn Johnson, W0GK and Bob Allphin, K4UEE. Collectively, both have unmatched experience in DXpeditions to environmentally sensitive areas of the world. The DXpedition team includes members from the US, Puerto Rico and Canada; many are experienced DXpeditioners and some newcomers. SEE: www.kp5.us
