Welcome to the WJ2O website

Little by little I've been trying to gather my information regarding the DXpeditions I've been on and get it published on this site. My entire logbook is here and I hope you find that you are in it.

St. Barts, here we come!

We're going to pack up the rig, some wire and an antenna tuner an head for FJ/WJ2O. The flight is Nov 25th returning Dec 3rd. I'll only be barefoot so I expect that I'll be "listening up" often.

I hope I have time to build a real time logging page through this site. You should be able to see if we've worked within a minute or two of logging the QSO. More on that to follow.

I will probably operate 100% CW. Outside the contest I favor the WARC bands. I'm sorry but, I cannot make skeds. This is my vacation after all. Also, I will not leave a pile-up to accomodate somebody who thinks 10 meters will somehow open just because we switch to it. Bandswitching will not be easy with the setup I have. Please QSL my home call.

VP5 for the 6th time and counting . . . My XYL and I are headed to Turks & Caicos for our 6th visit. The first time was in 1997 to North Caicos. The last 3 trips (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008) we stayed at Jody, VP5JM's Hamlet on Providenciales Island. After all the years I've lugged heavy equipment onto the airplane, past customs agents, set up the station and worried that I remembered everything and nothing is broken. It sure is nice to just fly in, sit down, plug in the computer and operate! We are staying for a week again which includes the ARRL DX CW contest in February 2009. VP5DF during the test and VP5/WJ2O outside. Hope to get you in the log!
