The Bahamas Listeni/bəˈhɑːməz/, officially the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, is a country consisting of more than 3,000 islandscays and islets in the Atlantic Ocean, north of Cuba and Hispaniola (the Dominican Republicand Haiti), northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands and southeast of the US state of Florida. Its capital isNassau on the island of New Providence. Geographically, the Bahamas lie in the same island chain as Cuba, Hispaniola and the Turks and Caicos Islands; the designation of "Bahamas" usually refers to the country and not the geographic chain. The country's population, numbering around 354,000, lives on a land area of 13,939 km2(5,382 sq mi).
Originally inhabited by the Lucayans, a branch of the Arawakan-speaking Taino people, the Bahamas were the site of Columbus' first landfall in the New World in 1492. Although the Spanish never colonized the Bahamas, they shipped the native Lucayans to slavery in Hispaniola. The islands were mostly deserted from 1513 until 1648, when English colonists from Bermuda settled on the island of Eleuthera.
The Bahamas became a Crown Colony in 1718 when the British clamped down on piracy. After the American War of Independence, thousands of American Loyalists and enslaved Africans moved to the Bahamas and set up a plantation economy. The slave trade was abolished in the British Empire in 1807 and many Africans liberated from slave ships by the Royal Navy were settled in the Bahamas during the 19th century. Slavery itself was abolished in 1834 and the descendants form the majority of the Bahamas's population today.
In terms of GDP per capita, the Bahamas is one of the richest countries in the Americas (following the United States and Canada).[8]

Hello,
Thanks for looking me up.
Curentlyusing 17el. cushcraft (17B2) for 144MHz, 7 el LFA for 50MHz both 9.5m boom and a 6el DK7ZB for 4m.
For HF: Optibeam OB12-6spec . modified for operation on 30(instead of 40m)to 10m, and FD4 mainly for 40m .
On 80m using an inverted-L.the 160m inverted-L is only 10m vertical and about 30m horizontal
4 RX flags 5x10m for 160-80-40 and 30m
Rig is a K3 with amplifier on HF and 6m, and a TS850s+LT2s and amp. on 144MHz.
4m station is a home made oz2m transverter with home-made PA.
160m DXCC #2029
Due to the number of QSO's I make, I decide to answer all incoming bureau cards, instead of sending out a card for every QSO. If I receive a bureau card I will check if we worked on other bands in the mean time, and add them on the card too.
If you wish to QSL-direct, please don't forget to send an self adressed envelope and sufficient return postage. Normally 2 green stamps(2$) should be enough.
Cards received without return postage or cards received with IRC will be answered via the bureau.
Please NO IRC's!! It is very difficult for me to change them at our postoffice.
sending IRC's is about the same as sending no return postage; they are worthless for me as I can NOT exchange them!!!!!
(for some reason stations from Japan keep sending IRC's instead of $$.sorry but I will answer these cards via the bureau from now on)
At the moment I am not using e-QSL or similair. I prefer the good old PAPER card!
Glad to work you, and see you on other bands

Very short..

QSL Cards -
I do not collect QSL cards, but I will reply to them if you send them to me.
I have not been in the QSL bureau for many years. If you send me a QSL via the bureau you will not get a reply. If you send me an E-QSL, I am not interested in them, and you will not get a reply.
IF YOU DO NOT INCLUDE IRC OR $ WITH YOUR CARD YOU WILL NOT GET A REPLY.
The ***ONLY WAY*** to get a card from GW3YDX is DIRECT
Unfortunately the British Post Office now charges the same for mail to Europe as to the rest of the world
So to get a QSL please - QSL direct with $2 or2 IRC. For Europe and Worldwide.
I do not like IRC's. They are a pain in the ass and it takes up time to change them at the Post Office. If you MUST send IRC's, TWO IRC's are required for QSLing. One IRC is NOT ENOUGH.
History -------
Licenced Feb 69 (G3YDX) Moved to GW in 1978
160m DXCC # 27 (Feb 84), 160m WAS # 348 (Apr 86)
Both well before packet, low-band chat, etc. Done the old hard way.
Contesting
1st EU to win world top CQWW 160 CW. Top EU ARRL Phone contest. World top CQWW CW 80m. Many RSGB contest wins.
I am now more inclined to ragchew on CW on HF, and do some casual DXing from time to time.

Attention:

Operation takes place from 10m down to 160m. I will try to be QRV on 6m (around 50.110 Mhz) again. The grid square will be announced later. Make a PileUp more enjoyable with the DX Code Of ConductPileup recordings are welcome. Pse sent it via email.
=> I'll be a team member of the upcoming TX5K DX-pedition to Clipperton Isl. in Feb./March 2013.

Hello my name is Mathew,
I'm licenced since 1998, with the first callsign DG1MUE. I upgraded my licence in 2002 because I was eager to operate on the shortwave bands and on the upcoming Northcape expedition as well. So I had only 3 month for the CW training to pass the exam. I received my class 1 licence with the callsign DJ2HD on April 18th, 2002 and one day after we started to the North Cape expedition just in time. Ever since I fell in love with the DXpeditioning. I like portable activities, running pileups, contests and experimenting with different types of antennas. I'm active on all shortwave bands and also VHF / UHF. My main operation modes are SSB, CW, RTTY and also from time to time satellite tracking.

The picture above shows my second location with an Optibeam OB12-6 and different antennas for UHF and VHF and also some dishes and wires for the other bands. The mast is located on the terrace of the building.


Due to my activity I encouraged my dad Manfred to apply also for a ham licence. He is listening on
DJ1HD.
I'm the responsible of the conteststation DR2W located at the University of Applied Sciences in the city of Karlsruhe.
I'm a member of the DARC district group A07 Karlsruhe.
Other Calls / Activities: A35DJ, ZL/DJ2HD, 3V8SM, OE/DJ2HD, SV8/DJ2HD, F/DJ2HD, EA7/DJ2HD, EA8/DJ2HD, SM/DJ2HD, SM9/DJ2HD, LA/DJ2HD, LA9/DJ2HD, OH/DJ2HD, OH9/DJ2HD, HB9/DJ2HD, DA2005LH, DA0RM, PA/DJ2HD, DL0DM, DA2006LH, DR06SOCCER, DR2W, W2/DJ2HD, W3/DJ2HD, W4/DJ2HD, W7/DJ2HD, I/DJ2HD, OK/DJ2HD, DA2008LH, DL0KH, DL0IF, SP/DJ2HD, DA2009LH, ZS/DJ2HD, HB0/DJ2HD, DR9A, DL0KHZ, 9M2/DJ2HD, DA0HQ, 7P8DJ, V55V, DA2010LH, DA2011LH, V5/DJ2HD andV55O.
