Hi All,
I am trying to collect some information about the past contest activity
that has taken place from
Bonaire. This is for a webpage I am putting together. I will be also giving a
presentation about our
contest trips to PJ4, along with K4BAI to the SEDXC club this month.
I pretty much know about about all the operations that have taken place from
the PJ4G/K2NG house
since about 2000.
Here is a list I have compiled :
PJ4G 2000 ARRL DX SSB
PJ4G 2001 ARRL DX SSB
PJ4G 2002 ARRL DX SSB
PJ4W 2002 CQWW CW
PJ4G 2003 ARRL DX CW
PJ4G 2004 ARRL DX SSB
PJ4R 2004 ARRL DX CW
PJ4P 2004 WPX SSB
PJ4M 2004 CQWW CW
PJ4Z 2004 ARRL TEN
PJ4R 2005 ARRL DX CW
PJ4G 2005 ARRL DX SSB
PJ4Y 2005 WPX SSB
PJ4W 2005 CQWW SSB
PJ4R 2006 ARRL DX CW
PJ4G 2006 ARRL DX SSB
PJ4E 2006 CQWW SSB
PJ4A 2007 ARRL DX CW
PJ4/KU8E 2007 ARRL DX CW
PJ4G 2007 ARRL DX SSB
If you have operated a contest at the K2NG QTH and I left you off the list
please email me.
I am especially interested in finding out about the operations from PJ1B/PJ4B
that took place
in the 1980 - 1990's. Any recollections, pictures, comments about what you
remember would
appreciated. I would also be interested in finding out about any pre-PJ4B
operations from Bonaire as well.
>From what I have been able to find out on the internet is that Chet Brandon

>parts of some antennas on the grounds. There was also a shipping container
>which probably had stuff in it as well.
I have now been going to Bonaire for the past 4 years and really like the
place. I plan to take future
trips at least once a year....
