1999 Jamaica Ham Radio Contest Expedition


KN5H and KB3EHU traveled to Montego Bay Jamaica in November of 1999 to vacation and operate the CQ WW DX CW Contest. All total, we made over 9200 QSOs, 5700 of which were in the contest. Some of our adventures are shown below. I hope you enjoy them.

Packed and sitting in the living room. Doesnt appear like a lot, should be 'no problem'.

Karen (KJ) says howdy and we are ready to roll.

'What do you mean I'm in the wrong line?'

At the Orlando Air Jamaica check in, 2 hours early.
