60 meter update 2-05-11

 

With the bad winter we are all experiencing, this certainly a good time to get on 60 meters. There is a lot of DX activity. Last night J79FF and 9Z4AMA were on.

 

 Dominica: J79FF Budd W3FF has had a good signal on the band. He's always on at his sunset at 2200z looking for Europe and then the USA.

 

Trinidad: 9Z4AMA Andy has been active with a big signal.

 

Guantanamo: N4SIA and group will be at Gitmo doing a lot of antenna work during their stay. Thanks to Gary K4AVC who donated the inverted vee to be installed at Gitmo. It will stay up for future operations.

 

Antigua: Tom W9AEB reports:  we will definitely be on the 60 meter band as V25TP. The operation starts June 14 to 28. We will check with the Antigua authorities to verify that we have privileges on that band.  We will be using a full size G5RV for 40 and 80 and expect we can get a decent match on 60 meters with a tuner. 

 

Antigua: Allen N3AD will be V26AM March 5-6 weekend.  QSL via W3HNK.  

St. Kitts: Mike W1USN will be in St Kitts from Feb 12 -22. Call should be V4/W1USN.
