Our team of Colorado hams - N0KV, WD0E, W0ZA, and W0ETT - are heading to Montserrat for a DXpedition June 10 - June 19th and plan to operate HF 80m through 10m using the call sign VP2MKV with modes CW, SSB, and RTTY running K3's, 500w, a tribander, spider antenna, and vertical/wire anennas. On 6m, we'll hope for some good Es using CW, SSB, and FSK441 using a K3 and THP 500w amp to a 6M5XHG at 30' on top of Gingerbread Hill Guesthouse 500' above local sea level. Look for our CQ's or 100w beacon (using a FT857) on 50.102 which we will monitor when the band isn't cooperating. 

 

We've requested the call sign VP2MTT for our 6m operation. We plan to check www.on4kst.com periodically for 6m info, and WD0E will check Ping jockey for FSK441 and satellite bulletin board for 2/432 satellite contacts. We're also planning a multi - limited entry in the ARRL June VHF Contest on 6m and 2m. On 2m, we only have 100w and a 7 element beam so we anticipate working regional stations using CW/SSB on that band. 

 

For other information and QSL methods, please see details at VP2MKV on www.QRZ.com.
