Press release



 





The
Sint Maarten 2010 team is proud to announce that they are in high gear with the
planning for the celebration of the new country status on 10-10-10. 





 





They
have a 12 member international team assembled, including:  Franz DJ9ZB,
Max I8NHJ, John K6MM, Dave K4SV, Kevin K6TD, Craig K9CT, Ralph K9ZO, Bill N2WB,
Charlie NF4A, Charlie K6KK, Bruce W6OSP, and Joe W8GEX.  This is a team of
highly experienced, hard workers and some of the nicest people you could meet. 





 





In
addition to the operators, Tom Harrell N4XP is the team treasurer and Janet
Pater W8CAA is helping in the organization.  John K6MM has done an
outstanding job as web master.





 





The
website, which is nearly complete, can be viewed at www.stmaarten2010.  The website will feature oqsl and accept donations by PayPal.





 





The
group plans to have four stations on the air 24/7, and will have two additional
stations that can be activated if needed. They will work all bands, and on CW,
SSB and RTTY.  





 





Equipment
sponsors are ICOM, Alpha, Tennadyne, DX Engineering, Acer and M2.  





 





Leaders
Joe W8GEX and Craig K9CT were on the Sint Maarten for a week and have secured
two operating locations on opposite ends of the island. They were very happy
with all of the cooperation received from local residents.





 





Below
is our frequency plan for the operation.
