   Probably a contest station--that area is popular with Stateside contesters   
   looking for a contest vacation.  Back when I played in contests, there   
   were some of those clubs I'd work every year from various places around   
   the Caribbean and SA.  Some of them are great QSLers and some aren't--but   
   if it was a club, it may take a while to reply to your card.   
      
   QSL information will appear after the contest, online.  One easy way to   
   look is to pop the callsign into Google and see what you find--many of   
   these folks put up a little website with QSL info, etc.  If you do much of   
   this, subscribe to "QRZ DX" published by N4AA--a great resource for DXing!   
      
   If it's a club station, there will often be a US QSL address.  I usually   
   send a SASE with my own QSL, and if it was a club contesting effort, about   
   half the time I add a 'green stamp' to help with their printing and other   
   QSLing costs.   
      
   GL and hope you had fun in the contest!
