J6 St Lucia DXpedition
Inviato: 14 novembre 2012, 18:37The "Buddies in the Caribbean" suitcase mini-DXpedition group which specializes in 100 watt or less low power radios and Buddipole portable antenna systems is back again to St Lucia (J6) on Dec 2– 11, 2012.
The north shore villa location was magnificent on our first visit in Feb 2010 and subsequent visits in December of the following years with a new group of operators. Our goal is to demonstrate “ultralite†DXpeditioning into magnificent "vista" locations, operating a field portable battery-only radio with backpackable, lightweight antennas and most of all “having fun†with a new group of operators who have never experienced the “other side of a pileup!â€
The eight operators this Dec 2012 are: Everett W6ABM , Robert N7QT , Hugh W4VAB , Bryan WB8ISG , Scott KA9P , and Jerry W5TDY , Budd W3FF , and Guy N7UN . There will be 3 villa stations in operation on 160-10m using CW, SSB, and RTTY or PSK. At the same time, several teams will be battery-only, field portable either from St Lucia beaches or scenic mountain tops and will sign call/p. They group will participate in the ARRL 10m contest (callsign: J68UN) on Dec 8-9th.
QSL via LoTW, eQSL or mail to the operator’s home callsign (SASE required).
