S79YA 1989 Seychelles

Operator: Jim McCook W6YA

Here is the file with the 1989 grapesmash pileups.
It was K6NA on the recording who said, "Jim, you're going down rapidly."
The winner of the SSB grapesmash (1st to break thru the pileup) got a bottle of California wine and was W6MKB (now K6JL).  His 20, 15 and 10m yagis were 10 elements.
The winner of the bottle of California wine on CW was either K6JYO, N6ND or K6TQ.
My rig was a TS-440S and the ground mounted vertical of S79MC.
I was primarily there for the diving. On the way back I stayed with 3B8CF for a few days. He stayed with us in California around 1985.Unfortunately, Jacky died this year (2024).
