... will be DX-ing from Wotten Waven Dominica January 2-12, 2004.

Gaynell J79WWW/KK4WWW operating in Wotten Waven, Dominica.

We want to do quite a bit of operating, making many contacts to friends and others while in Dominica. We'll be operating with the call signs J79WW and J79WWW. We will also use the FAIRS club call in Dominica, J79USA.

QSL route for all QSLs is N4USA.

Our typical operating frequencies on SSB are: 1.830 MHz, 3.795 MHz, 7.230 MHz, 14.195 MHz* on 20 meters and also 14.250 MHz*. 18.135 MHz*, 21.350 MHz, 24.950 MHz*, 28.350 MHz and on the 6 meter calling frequency.

When sending your QSL, please send an SASE to FAIRS P.O. Box 179 Floyd, VA 24091 (and a green stamp would be helpful to cover expenses; we'd appreciate that).

You can see our operating station by going to the bottom of the webpage and looking at the Dominica cabin of Clement & Hetty Pierre-Louis (J73CPL and J73HPL). You'll see 8 or 9 photos (one of view to north showing antenna and one of Gaynell operating at the station; all are interesting) showing our activities there in Dominica.

Our operating times will be somewhat random, but we do operate a lot during the night hours Dominica time (essentially EST) from 7pm-1am (2300-0500 Z).

We invite you to join us!
