Saint Barthélemy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
