Attention JA : Cards are being received for 40m on 7 Feb 09 after my QRT time of 0831z. Sorry, but it looks like a pirate was running JA after I went QRT at 0831z on 7 Feb 09. |

J88XF QTH : Saltwhistle Bay on the northern end of Mayreau in the St Vincent Grenadines |

| Nigel G3TXF operating as J88XF with a new K3 and Win-Test. |
There is no airport on Mayreau. Access is by boat from Union. |
|
 |
 |
|
| Approaching the short runway on Union Island. Local SVG planes hop between St Vincent, Bequia, Mustique, Canouan and Union. |
Stepp IR vertical positioned just too far from the beach. An extra 100ft of coax would have placed the antenna in an ideal location! |
|
 |
 |
|
| Saltwhistle Bay provides an idyllic anchorage for visiting boats. |
The main bay at Saltwhistle faces northwest (USA and Japan) |

|
| A DH6 (J8-SUN) is part of SVG Air's small fleet of island hoppers. |
