STATION

Home

The station has the needed essentials for day-to-day operation.  Very simple, but reliable, and I often use it for contesting.

STATION

  • Yaesu FT-1000 MP, Kenwood TS-840, Alpha 87A. 
  • Tower 1 (45ft): TH7DX
  • Tower 2 (70ft): Mosley PRO-67-C3. (currently not operational)

RENTAL

On occasion, I get requests whether I rent out my station.  My station is not available for rent, however take a look at www.p49v.com (new QTH) or www.arubaqth.com.  It is the perfect option if you are interested in doing a contest, or if you want to be the DX.  Currently these are the only P4 rentals available.

BACKGROUND

Even though Aruba nowadays is known as a tourist destination, some of us actually do live here year round, and I am one of the "lucky" ones.   Except for my college years when I attended the University of Miami in Coral Gables, FL, I have always lived here.  In 1996, after completing my Masters in International Business and Computer Information Systems, I returned back to Aruba.  At present, I am working in the private sector for a local construction company.
