This puts me of mind back when Albania had no ham operators for years.  Then when they allowed hams to come over and run their country for a dxpedition as a ZA1 prefix, the bands went nuts.  I tried to work them a few times but gave up.  I sold my TH6 tri band antenna and for awhile, the only antenna I had left was a TH2 which was an old 2 element tri bander.  I put it on a tripod on my roof about 20 feet height one late afternoon.  Eventually I tuned it up and saw it was ok on 20 so I tuned around.  a ZA1 came on and called CQ and I was the first to work him running 100 watts and the little beam.  I guess I'll do the same with these new Caribbean countries.
