Saint Martin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Martin (French: Saint-Martin; Dutch: Sint Maarten) is an island in the northeastCaribbean, approximately 300 km (190 mi) east of Puerto Rico. The 87 km² island is divided roughly 60/40 between France (53 km²)^[1] and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (34 km²);^[2] they are roughly equal in population. It is one of the smallest sea islands divided between two nations, a division dating to 1648. The southern Dutch part comprises Sint Maarten and is one of four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The northern French part comprises the Collectivité de Saint-Martin (Collectivity of St. Martin) and is an overseas collectivity of France.

On January 1, 2009 the population of the entire island was 77,741 inhabitants, with 40,917 living on the Dutch side,^[3] and 36,824 on the French side.^[4]

Collectively, the two territories are known as "St-Martin / St Maarten". Sometimes SXM, theIATA identifier for Princess Juliana International Airport (the island's main airport), is used to refer to the island.

NSC was the first exposure to Morse Code for thousands of Brooklynites. If you tuned your AM radio to the very bottom of the broadcast band, even without a BFO, the rockcrusher signal was there.sending the same text over, and over, and over .

V V V . V V V . V V V . de . NSC NSC . W W W . AR . . . (repeat)

Speculation as to the source of the signal, and it's purpose abounded, but the answer remained an enigma for years, During the Vietnam era, a chance visit to the Naval Air Station, NY (Floyd Bennett Field) solved the mystery. When NASNY had active runways, they ran a pair of navigation beacons, using the assigned call of NSC. There was an "East" and a "West" beacon, but "E" was too low in frequency to tune in on Broadcast band. An airplane would monitor both, and equalize the signals. This was the state of the art in instrument approaches in those days.

Floyd Bennett Field was decomissioned in the Seventies, and is now part of Gateways National Park. It boasts of the only Campgrounds inside NYC, and is a fantastic radio location. (WARNING: It can get buggy at night, don't forget the DEET!) It wouldn't be an exxageration to say that HUNDREDS of telegraphers heard NSC as their very first CW signal.

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the formation of the First Class CW Operators' Club, the callsign W2FOC will be aired by a number of different members during the month of May, 2013. The logs will be uploaded to the ARRL's Log Book of the World(LoTW)at the end of the activitity,

Guyana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guyana (ⁱ/ɡaɪˈænə/ gy-an-ə),^[7] officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana,^[1] is a sovereign state on the northern coast of South America. Culturally Guyana is part of theAnglophone Caribbean. Guyana is one of the few Caribbean countries that is not an island. The Caribbean Community (CARICOM), of which Guyana is a member, has its secretariat's headquarters in Guyana's capital, Georgetown.

Guyana was originally colonized by the Netherlands. Later, it became a British colony and remained so for over 200 years until it achieved independence on 26 May 1966 from the United Kingdom. On 23 February 1970, Guyana officially became a republic. In 2008, the country joined the Union of South American Nations as a founding member.

Guyana, a member state of the Commonwealth of Nations, is the only South American nation whose official language is English.

Historically, the region known as "Guiana" or "Guyana" comprised the large shield landmassnorth of the Amazon River and east of the Orinoco River known as the "Land of many waters". Historical Guyana consists of three Dutch colonies: Essequibo, Demerara, and Berbice. Modern Guyana is bordered by Suriname to the east; by Brazil to the south and southwest; byVenezuela to the west; and by the Atlantic Ocean to the north. At 215,000 square kilometres (83,000 sq mi), Guyana is the third-smallest independent state on the mainland of South America after Uruguay and Suriname. Its population is approximately 770,000.
