I was driving home from work tonight and, although the propagation conditions were terrible (SF:87 A:22 K:3), I thought I’d turn on the Icom IC-706 MKIIG and check out 20 meters. Stumbled upon PJ2/K8ND working from Curaçao Netherlands Antilles. 171 sq miles of island parked just North of Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea (12.10° N -68.93° E). Several American DXers are in Netherlands Antilles this week preparing for contests and vacationing.
WX conditions here were about 10° F and 35 MPH headwinds on my journey home. I’m sure the weather (and DX) for Jeff on Curaçao were much better. Anyway, threw my call out a few times into the pile-up - no luck.
