YJ0AAY 1994 Vanuatu

Operator: Jim McCook W6YA, K6GLC, VP2GLC, 8P6GA, KC6SZ, S79YA, 5W1YA, KH8/W6YA, ZK2XD, 3D2YA

These were what we called "grapesmash" events. I was using a TS440 and a cable to the input of a small tape recorder.
The plan was to line up W6 stations only to call at a meeting time for 30 seconds.
When I returned home, the recordings were played at the San Diego DX Club meeting where a vote was taken to pick the first station heard in the pileup.
A bottle of wine was given to the winner.
Antenna was a 180' long wire high in the coconut palms, except for ZK2XD where I used a 4BTV vertical on the coast next to the sea.
