After talking to K4BAI at lunch on
Wednesday I understand the contest station on Bonaire is still available
for ARRL DX CW in a couple weeks.
I sure wish I could go but the budget only
allows for the one trip for CQWW DX CW every year. This is a great opportunity
for someone to operate at a first class
contest station and who is looking for something at the last minute. All
the antennas, a good radio and amp (FT1000MP MKV and AL1200) are in place. All
you really need to do is roll out the 160 meter USA beverage, which is maybe a couple hours work and you are ready to
go. See http://my.att.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=330&groupID=352456&folderview=&ck=
for some pictures of the
station.
I just checked today and you could fly to Bonaire
from ATL for about $550 RT. The fare on AA/Delta/Airtran from ATL/MIA is $147.
You could then connect to
puddle jumper over to Bonaire.
Feel free to email with any questions. Noah, K2NG,
would really like to rent out the station for this contest.

P.S. I will be flying up to Ohio for ARRL DX
CW for a reunion with my friends at W8AV. I was a regular at Goose's for ARRL DX
and CQWW DX CW for many years
before moving
to Georgia.
