[CQ-Contest] W3LPL and K3LR in CQWW 2020

[Jeff Clarke]

John,

I know for Bonaire they won't let anyone in who holds a US passport in 
PERIOD. For an American It would be a waste of time to go to either the 
Netherlands or Aruba for two weeks beforehand to quarantine. Yesterday 
they had their first COVID-19 death in Bonaire.

Knowing how cautious they are down there they will probably tighten up 
the rules even more they what they're doing now.

I know they have remote capability at PJ2T. I think the rules for remote 
operation in Curacao are stricter than they are in Bonaire because they 
have to have someone physically on-site at the station. This isn't 
required when someone operates PJ4A remotely. I guess if they had one of 
the locals hams go over to the station they could probably have someone 
do a single-operator or a one radio multi-single.
