I am forwarding this message to our reflectors on behalf of my college
roommate at Mercer University in Macon, GA, Jim Jordan, K4QPL. Jim grew
up near Americus/Plain, GA and attended the local ham fests and some
SEDXC meetings many years ago. Some of you will remember him. He is
now a semi-retired corporations/creditor/bankruptcy lawyer in Raleigh,
NC, who is active in contests, the PVRC, and checks into the GA State
Net a few times most weeks.
73, John, K4BAI.
John, FYI. Feel free to circulate to SE friends if you think appropriate.
73,
Jim

Subject: VP5 vacation
While not wanting to be "commercial" on the reflector, PVRC members may
be interested to know that our family partnership has acquired a 4 BR
rental home on Turks and Caicos, B.W.I. (VP5) that is being renovated
and modernized to high quality for weekly rentals during the coming
winter season October-March. The property is close to, and has a similar
view/antenna orientation as that of VP5JM. Jody still has contesters
visiting but is no longer doing casual rentals. She is pleased that
there is an alternative for other hams wanting to operate on the island.
Although antennas and a radio will be available, it will not be a
hardcore contesting station but more for family vacations with the bonus
of ham radio. Check out the islands online and you'll see why we are
there. Send me an e-mail OFFLINE and I'll send more info.
73,
Jim, K4QPL
