Due to an illness cancellation, we have an available bed for the 6Y6L
entry in the CQ WW SSB plus time before and after.  Our plans include
three or four complete stations with mid power amps with beams,
verticals and wire antennae.

Approximate cost:
Airfare - check this yourself 10/23 to and 10/30 back - MBJ is airport
code-you could come a day later and leave earlier if desired.
Villa rental share - $350
Van rental share - $100
Meals - $30-35/day plus beverages other than served
Share of group expense - $60 (likely high, lots of contingency built in)

Airport exit fee - around $25

NOTE - the villa bedrooms are air conditioned.  The living area has a
large portion of opening to outside.  By the way, several of the planned
operating positions are just a few feet from a good size pool.   NO
SMOKING   My wife and I stopped over and visited the villa in July
during our trip to Grenada.  Very impressed.

The villa furnishes housekeeper, cook and caretaker.  The van includes
driver and full time availability (except late evenings).

EXPERIENCE NEEDED - as we are replacing a non amateur, experience is not
needed although we would like a skilled individual for a better contest
result.  We will try to match skills with the contest needs.  You would
have selection of time on a rotation basis in the non-contest times.
Logging will be on computer (CT) in the contest.

If you have strong interest, please call me at 937-434-9616 or 434-1616
after about 2PM EDST Wed.  I'll be leaving for my part time work shortly
after launching this message.
I expect to be home most of Thursday.

LATE NOTE - I just had a call that Air Jamaica will have a major cut
back about the middle of the month.  In working up a flight schedule
check for backup possibilities.
