If we consider that this expedition was made  just for fun, I must   
admit that it turned out to be very satisfying either from a human   
point of view  and as far as radio was concerned.                    
     First of all I want to stress on the fact that it was a great   
pleasure to meet T77C, Tony,  who always had my best consideration   
for the spirit with which he carries on his long career as a HAM:    
for him it is always as if it was  his first QSO, when he tries to   
make a contact he  has been longing for  so long, when he  hunts a   
rare expedition or when, at last, he succeeds in getting a "NEW ONE".
Our "contest-expedition" consisted of the following OM people:       
IK4IDW, I4PNG, IK4HLO, T77C , IK4DCS, IK4CIE

     Two trasmitting stations and one standing by for listening.     
Very heavy working shifts of each operator allowed us to  attain a   
good contest result: we ended 12th considering whole world and 4th   
in Europe. We carried out 2982 QSOs and 645 multipliers granting us  
something such as 3.668.760 point in total.                          
     It was really a wonderful experience and our success was made   
possible by the exceptional collaboration of Tony who took care of   
logistics.                                                           
     We actually had a great time there and as tourists as well.     
     Really great, but, unfortunately, so far, I could not repeat    
the experience though I wold like to.
