using CW, SSB, possibly PSK, and the June VHF Contest. QSL via KB4CRT,
direct (w/SASE or DX 2GS). LoTW is "OK".
VP5, TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS
Dave, W5CW, is once again active as VP5/W5CW
from the VP5JM Hamlet on the Island of Providenciales (NA-002, WLOTA 1476)
until June 14th. Activity will be on 160-6 meters using CW and SSB. Dave
also plans to be in the CQWW WPX CW Contest (May 28-29th) and ARRL June
VHF QSO Party (June 11-12th) as VP5CW. QSL direct to his home callsign
((QRZ.com) address) at: PO Box 88, Morris, OK 74445-0088 U.S.A.
VP9, BERMUDA
Doug, KF4VTT, will once again be active as VP9/KF4VTT from
VP9GE's QTH between June 10-17th. Since Doug will be there with his wife
and son, activity will be limited. Look for him on 160-6 meters using CW,
SSB, RTTY and possibly PSK31. As a personal goal, he hopes to finish DXCC
and VUCC from VP9. Any help with this endeavor would be appreciated.
Look for Doug to be active on 6 meters during the ARRL June VHF QSO
Party on June 11-13th. QSL via KF4VTT, by the Bureau, direct or LoTW.
