Notwithstanding the gazillion EU stations in the contest, turn those beams
to the Caribbean now and then. Will be SOLP from VP5 again (Turks & Caicos)
trying to stay in the radio chair and not a pool/beach chair with temps in
the 80’s and sunny. Spots appreciated.

Station: Kenwood TS-590S; Icom IC-7300

Antennas: 20-6M SteppIR; Myantennas 40-10 OCF dipole; Unadilla 80-40 trap
dipole; 160M inverted L with two elevated radials. All about 28’ AGL, 125’
AMSL on north facing ridge steep slope down to ocean about ¼ mile away.
(About half mile from VP5JM). GL and 73,

Jim, K4QPL / VP5M
