J6/N9AW
St. Lucia (J6) Operation - December 1 - 9, 2013with the Buddies in the Carribean
I am glad to announce that I will be part of the 2013 Buddies in the Carribean operation from St. Lucia in early December, 2013.
My operation will be mostly CW, RTTY and PSK31. There will be eight operators using J6 / homecall. We will be using our Buddipole antennas from the Villa Chateau Devaux on the NE side of the island. I will be using a Ten Tec Eagle (100w) while operating at the villa and an Elecraft K1 (5 watts) if I make it out to any of the beaches for portable operation. Bands will be 80-10 meters but primarily 40m - 10m. We are probably going to make an entry in the ARRL 160 meter contest as well.
QSLs will be available via LOTW, bureau or if you like, direct, with a SAE and funds to cover appropriate return postage. PLEASE NO IRCs.
Direct QSLs should be sent to my QRZ.com address.
