[SEDXC] FJ

[Keith LaBorde (K4KAL)]

The station I worked was FJ5KH, which is a club station.
  Based on my research it looks like the club participates in more VHF then HF activities, and primarily 6 Meters.
   
  They had a good signal on 17M at the time, but never heard them on any other bands.
  I think they put the station on the air while Marti was on 20M.
  When Marti left, they stopped as well.
   
  I sent an email to the ARRL giving them my 2 cents on this matter.
   
  I don't know about all the politics about visiting these places and getting approval for the operations.  But, I do know Marti has been to a lot of entities, and his operations have helped me aquire DXCC on many bands.  
   
  If there is some kinda of screw-up, I am sure it was an oversite on his part?    
  If this current operation does not go on the air soon, I am going to be suspicious...

  I agree with Keith on the locals. I don't think there are any locals that 
are DXers.. I tried to find every FJ call I could and I am not sure that 
the calls I found actually live on St. Barts. I could only find about 5. 
One of those is a club station. The two people screaming the loudest have 
FJ calls but live somewhere else it would appear. I would like to see a 
list on these acutal locals that were complaing.. I think it is a big smoke 
screen.

Also if immigration laws had been broken as were reported I think Martti 
would have been deported or jailed.
