V26B: 21 Consecutive Years of CQ WW (and One Tragic Fire)

摘要

It was a little more than a year ago, and we were feeling pretty good about our 2012 CQ WW DX SSB Contest score from V26B. You see, 2012 was our 20th consecutive CQ WW SSB entry, and we had put on a reunion of most of the original Team Antigua members for the occasion. We are really quite proud of possibly being the longest consecutively running multi-op contest expedition station for CQ WW SSB. Conditions were great, and for the most part, the station performed pretty well. We were quite pleased with our score, as a small, three-station multi-multi entry. We had a great time. However, then things turned around for us in an instant.
