Entry into the CQ WW RTTY contest
FP/W6HGF
Now QRT. I have once again,
traveled to St Pierre - Miquelon Island from 7 February to
18 February 2014, and operated in the CQ WW RTTY WPX
contest over the 7 February Weekend, and also in the ARRL
International DX Contest CW over the 15 February
Weekend. During the rest of the week I operated RTTY
as much as possible, on as many bands as possible for my
antennas. Please Click
Here, or on the above link for more details and
some pictures of previous visits to Miquelon Island. A
previous QSL Card is just below near the bottom, for
example of this very friendly island.
From 11-25 October 2013, I operated as KG4HF from
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This was with Bill, KG4WV
(W4WV) operating from the club station on the base.

more pictures and details on the expedition. Over
8000 QSO's were made mostly on RTTY during the two week
visit to the US Navy Base, Guantanamo Bay.

In March 2011 I traveled to Miquelon Island and operated
as FP/W6HGF. The picture on the QSL card was taken
by my son-in-law Mike, from a small hill near the hotel,
looking down on the beach where my antennas were located,
just about in the center of the beach in this
picture. Mike made a special courier trip to
Miquelon to bring me the RTTY interface cables. Press
here for more information on my 2011 Miquelon Is. trip.
I went back to Miquelon
Island in February 2012 for another experience with the
northern winters, and participated in two back to back
contests. The CQ WPX RTTY contest on the first
weekend, and the ARRL DX CW contest on the second
weekend. The highlight was over 100 QSO's on 160
during the Arrl Contest. The worst was that after a
hard winter storm went through one night, it iced up, and
then blew all my antennas down, and I caught a bad cold
after staying outside to get the antennas back up, which
lasted long after the trip was over. I missed all the deadlines for
getting my contest logs submitted, but I was able to get
everything uploaded to LOTW. Press here for more
information on my 2012 Miquelon Island trip.
