SAINT BARTHELEMY ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS
Members of the KH8SI group are happy to announce their upcoming activity from the newest DXCC entity, Saint Barthelemy island.
—————–
With the help and support of FJ5DX, FJ5AB and FJ5KH, both Yuichi JR2KDN and Paul F6EXV will sign FJ/F6EXV (callsign used for SSB and CW) and FJ/JR2KDN (callsign used for RTTY), from January 6th till January 20th.
Activity will be on 160-10m, with beam antennas from Cushcraft, vertical and dipole antennas, Yaesu FT2000 and FT857 plus 500W amplifiers.
QSL via respective home calls, OK on qrz.com
————-
Please note the following :
1/ F6EXV will do CW, but is not primarily a CW op. He will do his best, be patient with him.
2/ Several hams have been involved in the preparations. The list would be too long, but let them be thanked already for their help.
3/ A web page will be available for log checking, though access to internet will not be possible from the operating location. Do not use the clusters to ask us to QSY places, it would be a waste of time…Logs will probably be uploaded every 2 or 3 days, depending on internet access. Details to be given soon, as page is being constructed now.
4/ More details will come soon
73 and see you from there

HI Paul,

Hi YUU, Hi Paul,
Best wishes for this activity, the best wishes for the new year and good pile up
Hope it won’t be a ridicolous CW operation as KH8SI. I understand your complains again OH2BH (and you ‘re right) but on the other hand they both managed quite well the pileup. Nothing to blame about OH0XX with super CW skill as usually.
I just hope you will do a decent activity and not just a JA1BK style operation with BAD pileup managing and no clue about openings. Let’s forget CW. It’s sad but with both F6EXV and JR2KDN coming from JA1BK school I’m afraid it will be another shi..y opeation.
73 and hope I’m wrong.
Hi EU1BK…
I will be glad to respond, once you use a real callsign…..
Real callsign or not, he is right… You can respond to me instead! I work only CW so I guess there is nothing for me this time… 160 m QSO would be nice but there will be other operations for sure… Good luck and happy new year!
Dear friend
No, he is not right, and neither are you…
If you read the bulletin correctly, you can read that I will do CW….. I am not an expert, but if you prefer no CW at all rather than an average operation, let me know….
I did not make any complaint about OH2AM, they did a wonderful job…
Why don’t you go there and “teach” us your “school” ??

CU on 160 m CW then! Good pile-ups and happy new year!
Hi Paul,
What is the process to get a license to operate from St. Barths? (I am planning to be there the middle of February.)
TKS,

P.S — My call is real .. Hi Hi …
Gentlepeople: Remember the stations near FJ, example; HI,KP4.KP2,HH and others Caribbean countries that are very close to FJ land. Make sometimes space and call or listen to us, PLEASE. We here the last dxpedition working everybody but it’s very hard to broke Europe or USA pileup using ham courteousness or good ham operation. TNX and SUCCESS. See you in the pileups. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Happy New Year Paul and best wishes for a good operation to both of you.
I know you will do your best.
Very 73
