I will be returning to the Falkland Islands in 2013 and I will be active between the 25th November 2013 and the 25th May 2014.
Please send all QSL cards via my home call G1EUZ. However, please note that you will not receive a return card until after the end of my trip, as I am my own QSL manager.
My logbook will be uploaded to LOTW on my arrival back in the UK.
Previous use of the callsign VP8BTU in the Falkland Islands was in 1988 and 2002.
Hope to hear you on the bands.

I was introduced to radio at the age of 9, when my father brought a college text on basic radio theory home to satisfy my curiosity. The theory was a challenge, but with the radio text and an early ARRL handbook, I learned the basics, and was fixing tube type radios through age 14 when I met John Davidson, now K8JD. John, was not just receiving signals, he was transmitting them. He had a simple crystal controlled tube type transmitter, built on an RG Dunn cigar box.
Not long after, I was reviewing the morse code which I had learned from an instructor at Boy Scout Troop 2 in Southfield, Michigan. The code came back and I was soon sitting in the FCC office in Detroit, Michigan writing a novice examination.
John and I studied while I waited for my Novice license to arrive. By the time I held WN8CAL in my young hand, we were ready to take our general class examinations. As WA8CAL and WA8AFS, we both began study for our Extra class examinations, and were ready at the earliest testing we could arrange after our minimum time was up. We both passed and received nothing for our efforts, except a certificate. (There were no added privelages back then for taking the 20 wpm code test or Extra Theory.)
The recession in 1974 Detroit, found me as a non-working man with a family. I had been unemployed for 13 months, and besides driving my lovely wife, Ann, nuts by just being around too much, I was beginning to loose my self esteem. I had to do something. I followed work to Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada where I worked as an electrician, and later an instructor at Saskathewan Technical Institute, while Ann and I developed a 54 head dairy farm. I became an electrical contractor and ran a backhoe and trenching service. You would think with a name like Success Electric that VE5DB had it made, but a strain of mastitis hit our herd that would not respond to antibiotics. We lost it all, and started over in Alberta, call VE6DN. I worked for a really excellent contractor, RD Electric. When the owner,Clarence, ran out of work, I had to tell him to lay me off. He just did not have the heart to do it. I finally got the pink slip, filled it out and gave it to him to sign. People like him are hard to find. From there, I found work with Alberta Power, the local power utility.
Eventually I took a transfer to Yukon and VY1JA was on the air. Retired for 3 years but now un-retired an commuting for work in northern Alberta, there is no looking back for Ann and me. We love Yukon for its fine people and beautiful setting.
IF you are or know an old timer who operated in the early 60's on 80 or 40 meter CW and can find a contact in your log from WN8CAL or WA8CAL in your log please send me a QSL for the wall.  I do not collect cards, but that card would be special.

I live in a very small town in south-central New Jersey, about 40 miles west of the Atlantic coast. My QTH is in an ecologically sensitive area with strict State requirements such that absolutely no heavy industry is permitted anywhere in the township.All public utilities are underground. This makes my noise level almost zero except during thunderstorms.
Presently I am working in education teaching mathematics at the high school and university levels. My station consists of an IC756Pro, Alpha 76PA and TS-930s, Alpha 78. All antennas are on 4 towers.
402CD 40m yagi @ 35m
204BA 4el monoband antena for 20m @30m, 5el 105BA monoband antenna @ 20m
155BA 5el monoband antenna for 15m @30m
105BA 5el monoband antenna for 10m @33m
Th6DXX 6el tribander at 17m
Delta loop for 80m
Inverted L for 160m
I have 9-Band DXCC (339/340.still hoping for P5), 6-Band WAS, Triple Play Award, 5-Band WAZ (almost.still need zones 23 and 24 on 80m).

I am active on all bands, CW,SSB,RTTY,PSK, 160-10m and some 6m. In addition to chasing DX, I am very active in all major contests as well as QSO parties. Previous DX-peditions include 6Y5YL and the original 9Y4W.

I can no longer answer qsl requests for contest qsos via the bureau. Please, if you work me in a contest, do not send me your qsl via the bureau. All qsos are on LOTW! Direct qsl are still ok.

As of November 1,2013, all qsls for P40W received from the bureau have been answered. No further requests for P40W via the bureau will be honored. All P40Wconfirmations will only be via LOTW or direct.

I do prefer CW (Radio Telegraphy) as means of communication on HF and have been fascinated by the sound of short-wave ever since my parents gave me a SW-Receiver when I was 12 years of age. Nowadays I do also enjoy to combine travelling and radio whenever possible.

Above is the latest upgrade to my rig: The fantastic "Chrome Lambic", handcrafted by I1QOD. Serial No. 06/2013

Above you can see the "Scheunemann Einhebel 2", probably one of best Single-Lever Keys in the world!

This is the world-famous and legendary "Schurr Profi 2" Keyer

and I am more than glad that I finally found this one: the "Schurr Hand Key"

Holder of:

• 8Band DXCC Award
• WAE TOP
• ARRL "Worked All States" (CW)
• Worked all Zones (CQ WAZ)

Thank you very much for looking me up on QRZ.com! I look forward to meeting you soon again!
