Online log available on  QRZ page  PA3FYC

 

We will publish a timetable very soon so you can see what frequencies will be used during our stay.

 

Basically this is the same setup as we used last year in Guatemala, see video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnxVaHpQ8_g&t=32s

(Results  144: 261 QSO’s  /  432: 42 QSO’s  / 1296;  49 QSO’s)

Only difference is a new and tested 70cm. X-pol. antenna.

 

Fortunately we found an apartment in the quiet north part of this very exclusive ‘touristic’ Caribbean area.

In case of a power failure there is a big generator waiting for us J  Let’s hope for not too much QRM in this place.

 

The total weight of our luggage is over 180 kg. which means a lot of overweight.

This trip is again a big challenge and we hope for some support.

If you like you can make a donation via PayPal to:  post@pa2chr.nl
Please don't forget to mention your call !

All sponsors will receive a direct QSL.

Please spread this info to other active stations on 2 meter, 70cm. and 23cm.  if possible;  many thanks !

 

Best 73’s,

 

Chris, PA2CHR

Jos, PA3FYC
