CARIBBEAN TOUR. David, W2LNX, and his wife Abbey will be leaving for
Guadeloupe (FG, [(NA-102]) on Tuesday, December 6th, and then they will
go on to Martinique (FM, [NA-107]) on Sunday, December 11th. On Friday,
December 16th, his XYL Abbey flies home, and David will take the ferry
to St. Lucia (J6, [NA-108]) to stay with Frans, J69DS, until Thursday,
December 22nd. David states, "My operating schedule will pretty much
be limited to the early morning hours and the late afternoons." The best
way to find him is on PSK Automatic Propagation Reporter:
https://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html
Callsigns to look for are FG/W2LNX from Guadeloupe, FM/W2LNX from Martin-
ique and either J6/W2LNX or J68LNX in St. Lucia. He plans to operate
almost exclusively PSK31 or PSK63 using a KX2 QRP radio with a Buddipole
full size 20m vertical antenna. Also, he will bring two bobbins of wire
to make a 30m or 40m dipole or inverted Vee. For QRP work, David plans
to find some mountain tops. When he has electric power, he plans to use
a Hardrock-50 50 watt amplifier that Marc, N4DR, built for him. He does
mention, "I will be casually operating for no more than one or two hours
a day. I will be with the missus on Guadeloupe and Martinique and I don't
want to irritate her too much with my ham radio stuff. On St. Lucia, I
should have a bit more time. I still don't know my callsign is yet in
St. Lucia, but I received an invoice from the St. Lucia ministry. So
my application has been approved. The callsign will be J6/W2LNX or J68LNX,
probably J68LNX since it is a renewal application." David plans to use
LoTW as he did last year when he was on St. Lucia, but has to generate
certificates for Guadeloupe and Martinique.

as E51DLD from Rarotonga Island (OC-013) between April 28th and May 13th,
2017. This time he will have operators Bruce/KG7MXL and Marilyn/KI7DLK

OF9X UPDATE (Press Release) [edited]:
SANTA HUNT -- OF9X ACTIVE FROM DECEMBER 01 THRU DECEMBER 31, 2016
SANTA RADIO, OF9X IS INTRODUCING THE HARD WORKING TWELVE (12) ELVES
As for many years Santa is now setting up for his world tour – including
Amateur Radio -- and will provide your family an added pleasure for this
Christmas. The exciting news is that for the first time in the history of
OF9X, Old-Father-Nine-Christmas, and the elves will step forward so that
you can get to know them and their part in the Christmas scene. And better
yet, you can make an effort to find them together with your young ones
whether within your family or in your immediate neighborhood.
There are twelve elves operating OF9X and they indicate themselves with
the 3-letter identity thus your maximum elf-multiplier can be twelve (12).
You should try to work them on all amateur bands and modes (CW/SSB/DIGI
from 630m to 70 cm) and each QSO would give you a one-point (1). If you
are outside of Europe your points are doubled (2). Summing up the QSO
points and multiplying them with contacted number of elves makes your
Frozen Santa Bag, the final score. Only 2016 QSOs are valid for the Bag.
If you miss the elf identity for whatever reason no problem as you can
send your QSO listing to Santa HQ and these elves would count them for you.
; you can also look for your QSOs at the ClubLog and
each slot may illustrate the elf you had contacted.
Here is your slate of elves:
Arto, OH2KW (ART); Arttu, OH2FB (ATU); Jyri, OH2KM (JYR);
Martti, OH2BH (MAR); Niko, OH2GEK (NIK); Pauli, OH5BQ (PAU);
Pekka, OH2TA (PEK); Pertti, OH2BEE (PER); Raimo, OH2BCI (RAI);
Tom, OH6VDA (TOM); Pertti, OH2PM (SIM) and Erik, OH2LAK (LAK)

Your efforts will be rewarded by Santa Awards with the following awards:
A: SKC- Award (Santa is King of Christmas); minimum of 50 points
B: WMC - Award (Warm and Memorable Christmas); minimum of 35 points
C: RNS -Award (Remember those Red Nose Elves); minimum of 20 points


The full-color awards will be sent by email if you send your log and your
point calculation to by January 05, 2017 – please
also include the name to be printed on the award and the email address the
awards should be sent to.
High scoring stations with their children in each continent will be
offered an opportunity to have a two-way conversation with true and live
Santa during the Christmas week. More details on this will be presented
at OF9X QRZ.com where Santa video/audio screening will take place.
May this Christmas be a good one for all children of the world.

REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE http://www.bandconditions.com:
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual
(REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of
benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets
and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software pre-
dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a
new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF Ionospheric Interferometry"
which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.
