Speaking of DX-peditions: The rig and key and keyer are packed, just waiting for the fly-away time, 8 April 2006. WB5ZAM is off to J6-St Lucia again. Operating will depend upon location, but I'll try to focus more on 10MHz. 40m is tough with all the broadcast stations and SSB from other hams. Depending on band openings and parties will predict where we operate.
We're hoping for a J68 call this year. The telecom folk in St Lucia have changed the way they are doing things and the process is taking even longer than prior trips (even slower than the usual "Caribbean time" frame). It seems that they have combined their time with the Central American "manana" work time. Support for the DX-pedition is courtesy of my spouse and 48 hours work-weeks. QSLs will be printed once we know what the callsign will be. Local help is provided by St Lucia Super Ham, Tot, J69MV.
