Hi Guys,
In case you haven't seen this yet, here's a pretty good bunch of pix
of the place you'll be operating from ( I think?). You can see that
it's right on the pebble beach, with no real obstructions in any
direction. This is a mixed blessing, of course... no RF
obstructions, no WX obstructions. Bring your foul weather gear!

This was really a first class outfit to operate from when we went,
and at that time of year we had it pretty much to ourselves, other
than the locals who stopped by the restaurant for dinner and drinks.
Verticals that close to the salt water will bring pileups that will
tax your stamina on all bands. For those of you who have operated
from inland on St. Pierre, there is NO comparison. W8MC said it
best: "It sounds like a Beehive!"
You're gonna have FUN!
73, Jeff
