160 Ops:

The Signal Point station on Curacao, operated by the Caribbean 
Contesting Consortium (CCC) as PJ2T, is available to rent for 
the CQ 160 Meter CW Contest, January 24 - 25, 2004. 

This was the site of the PJ2X operation in the 2003 CQ 160 CW
Contest, which finished second in high claimed scores to only 
VY2ZM. 

The station consists of four full-power stations, equipped with 
FT1000MP, FT-1000MP Mk V, Ten Tec Omni 6, and TS-930
transceivers. Description of the stations can be found at
http://asgard.kent.edu/ccc/pj2t.station.home.page.htm

160 meter transmit antenna is an inv-L with a 75-foot vertical 
component and approximately 60 radials. It works very well!

Two Beverages are now available, one 650-feet long for the 
USA/JA and one 1000-feet long for Europe (new since the 
PJ2X operation). A set of K9AY loops are available for 
temporary installation for the contest, and we expect to 
have a pair of phased pennants available, also for temporary 
deployment for the contest. 

For additional rental information, including other weeks the
house and station are available, see the CCC web site at:

Direct questions or reservation requests to Geoff Howard 
W0CG / PJ2DX at ghoward at kent.edu.
