PJ7/K3LP DX-Pedition; Dutch St. Maarten

I want to extend a special thanks to Mort Bardfield, W1UQ (PJ7UQ, FS5UQ) for his hospitality and allowing me the opportunity to operate from his Dutch villa in downtown Philipsburg (PJ7UQ). I want to also thank Benny Owen, K5KV for his QSL Manager support.

While I was on the June 2004 trip, I replaced the rotator on the tower.  During the November 2003 trip, Larry (N7DD), Clint (W3ARS) and I worked on fixing the Forty-meter (40) elements on the Force 12 antenna that had broken isolators. Mort's villa and station are excellent!
