Information

From Anthony "Tony", KD8RTT:

"From January 28th through February 2nd, 2025, I will be visiting the Turks and Caicos Islands for vacation and will be bringing radio equipment with me for holiday-style satellite and HF  operations. My main radio focus will be on satellites, FM, APRS, and SSB, but I will have basic capabilities for QRP FT8 and SSB on HF as well. Satellite operation will likely occur during the day and HF would likely occur in the evenings. If you are looking for an HF contact, be sure to reach out to set up a sked as I will probably not naturally spend a lot of time on HF during this trip.

We will be staying on Providenciales (FL31), but I am considering making a day trip to North Caicos to visit FL41 and get it on the air for satellites as well. More to come on those plans as we get nearer. I should have internet access at most times on the islands, but may bring an inReach satellite messenger with me as well for when we venture out. If you would like to stay updated on my plans, send an Email to VP5 (at) KD8RTT (dot) com, and I will add you to a distribution list for updates.

I will QSL 100% direct and via LoTW under the call VP5/KD8RTT. Send all QSL card requests with SASE to my PO Box listed on QRZ for VP5/KD8RTT. I plan to purchase special QSL cards based on the number of card requests I get, so please send QSL requests no later than the end of February, 2025, to ensure I include you in my count. If you are DX from the USA, email me when you send your card in case your QSL card does not reach me by the end of February."
