Biography
St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands is a great place to relax. I have been vacationing
on St. Croix with N3XF and our wives since 2005. W1EQ has joined us for the past few
years, too. I rent George, NP2N's 3 bedroom 3 bath house and ham shack with salt
water pool. A fantastic place to just kick back and have a Cruzan rum drink while
in the pool. The ham bands are always waiting in the NP2N shack. Just add your own
call with portable KP2 for US hams and have fun. The restaurants are the best.
The temps stay in the 80s with a nice breeze and sea is near bath water temperature.
There are other couples living on the property so I always wear a headset to keep
the radio noise local to the ham shack.
CU in the pile-ups.
Send QSL requests to my Connecticut address or W1 QSL bureau.
I do not have an address on St. Croix.
