Greetings from Central America:

We are Missionaries serving the Lord here in the country of Nicaragua which is said to be the 2nd or 3rd poorest country in all of the Americas. This is a country where you feel like you are needed and the national people are wonderful when you get to know them. We are a church plant ministry based out of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, CA, USA which is a Bible believing and non-denominational Christian church.

Amateur radio is important to us because it helps us to stay in touch with family and friends in the USA and all over the world. We really appreciate it when we can make a QSO. Thank you for the Contact.

We get real busy here but when there is free time I like to operate CW on the HF bands. If you would like a QSL card, please send via my QSL manager W0MM - do not forget to include SASE if you want a direct response otherwise it will be sent via bureau.

Saint Barthélemy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Barthélemy (French: Saint-Barthélemy, French pronunciation: ​[sɛ̃baʁtelemi]), officially theTerritorial collectivity of Saint Barthélemy (French: Collectivité territoriale de Saint-Barthélemy), is an overseas collectivity of France.^[3] Often abbreviated to Saint-Barth in French, or St. Barts or St. Barths in English, the indigenous people called the islandOuanalao.^[4] St. Barts lies about 35 km (21.75 mi) southeast of Sint Maarten/Saint Martin, and north of St. Kitts. Puerto Rico is 240 km (149.1 mi) to its west in the Lesser Antilles.^[5]

The collectivity is one of four territories among the Leeward Islands in the northeasternCaribbean that comprise the French West Indies, along with Saint Martin, Guadeloupe(200 km southeast) and Martinique. Saint Barthélemy was for many years a French commune forming part of Guadeloupe, which is an overseas région and département of France and is therefore in the European Union.

Saint Barthélemy, a volcanic island fully encircled by shallow reefs, has an area of 22.1 km² (8.5 mi²) and a population of 8,902 (Jan. 2009 census).^[2] Its capital is Gustavia, which also contains the main harbour to the island. It is the only Caribbean island which was a Swedish colony for any significant length of time; Guadeloupe was under Swedish rule only briefly, at the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Symbolism from the Swedish national arms, the Three Crowns, still appears in the island's coat of arms. The language, cuisine and culture, however, are distinctly French. The island is a popular tourist destination during the winter holiday season, especially the rich and famous during the Christmas and New Year period.

My son Erik & I will be active from FJ - Saint Barthelemy as FJ/K5WE and FJ/N5WR beginning 3Jun13. Operation will be all bands, mostly CW, maybe some RTTY and SSB. We will check 6 meters for openings using a small yagi, but our emphasis will be CW on the HF bands. QSL to home callsigns. Local QTH is Colombier, Grid Square is FK87.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I operated from KP2, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, as KP2/K5WE from 18Sept12 until 26Sep12. Logged 9,326 QSOs. One day was spent on RTTY (675 QSOs), all the rest on CW. Thanks for the QSOs. QSL via home call. All KP2/K5WE QSOs uploaded to LOTW on 27Jan13.

Erik & I operated from Bonaire as PJ4/K5WE and PJ4/N5WR from 3Jul2011 to 11Jul2011. QSL via home calls.

Aruba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aruba (/əˈruːbə/ ə-roo-bə; Dutch pronunciation: [aˈruba]) is a 33-kilometer-long (20 mi) island of the Lesser Antilles in the southern Caribbean Sea, located 27 km (17 mi) north of the coast ofVenezuela. Together with Bonaire and Curaçao, it forms a group referred to as the ABC islands of the Leeward Antilles, the southern island chain of the Lesser Antilles. Collectively, Aruba and the other Dutch islands in the Antilles are commonly referred to as the Netherlands Antilles or the Dutch Antilles.

Furthermore, Aruba is one of the four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands, along with the Netherlands, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. The citizens of these countries all share a single nationality: Dutch. Aruba has no administrative subdivisions, but, for census purposes, is divided into eight regions. Its capital is Oranjestad.

Unlike much of the Caribbean region, Aruba has a dry climate and an arid, cactus-strewn landscape. This climate has helped tourism as visitors to the island can reliably expect warm, sunny weather. It has a land area of 179 square kilometres (69.1 sq mi) and is densely populated, with a total of 101,484 inhabitants at the 2010 Census. It lies outside the hurricane belt.
