[50mhz] [Magic Band EME] PJ2/W8WTS EME from Curacao.

[Lance Collister]

TNX again Jim!  I couldn't listen to your moonset on Friday because right after 
our contact on Thursday, I pulled the motor housing off my prop pitch motor and 
was out of commission until Saturday night :-(  I hope you get a chance to 
activate PJ2 again on 6m EME!

I can't wait to see the antenna photos when you get home!  GL and VY 73, Lance
