After 40 years in the UK, we now live on the South coast 60 miles West of Kingston near Malvern. At just over 2250ft ASL and 3 air miles inland of the beach, we enjoy a near panoramic view of the surrounding lowlands looking out to the sea horizon.
Our location is ideal for 6Y5WJ but vulnerable to the elements, especially during the hurricane season.
The station includes Kenwood/Yaesu equipment, a 5 band quad, a 160M inverted "L" with elevated radials, an 80M inverted "L", a 40M vertical and Beverages for Europe and USA.
I operate 99% CW and I'm a member of various CW clubs. I do operate other modes, but much prefer the challenge of CW. I've adopted the code of conduct, so if you hear me, do likewise and I WILL "eventually" answer your call...:)!
First licensed in 1982 as G6RXC and soon after, under the mentorship of G0FOC (Mick) achieved the “A” class license and subsequent callsign G0NAN.
We currently offer accommodation at our annex and my shack is also available to licensed hams who are interested in operating from "the other side of the pile-up",send an email to: joshwalkr@gmail.com for details.
Our visitors have included, the well known duo, Lali (VE3NE) and George (VE3NZ) who operated 6Y3M in CQWWCW.
George (6Y3M) again in one of the 160M contest, also the revered and well known Yuri (VE3DZ) operating SOAB HP as 6Y2T in the 2012 ARRL CW contest and crossing the finish line in second place with a score of 6.8M. The maestro returned the following year to take the title in the same contest. Allen (N2KW) has also put in an appearances for BERU and came back the following year for more of the same.

 



We also welcomed our European visitors to participate in the 2013 CQ WW DX CW contest 23-24 Nov. There were 5 operators from the Ural Contest Group, led by Igor UA9CDC with 





Vlad UP0L, Valery UN7LZ, Serge UA8DX and Vitaly RN4WA. Special callsign for this contest was 6Y7W operating in the Multi Single category and crossing the finishing line in 5th place with 13M+
