”Hola Amigos,
A teaser about our planned operation to , Isla del Cano, Costa Rica, IOTA NA-117.
 
Thanks to Jorge, TI2JV arrangements are made with Rangers to stay overnight, so we can take advantage of 30/40m.
The general public arrives AM and leaves in the afternoon. It is a few hours boat trip from the mainland.
Limitations: only 4 persons can stay overnight, no usable electricity. Food, fuel and water is on us.
 

As a prerequisite, Rangers need help with deep cycle batteries for their small solar system.

Our plan is 3 stations, 10-40m, CW, SSB and FT8, pair of 2kw generators. Fans and folding tables already purchased and stored with Jorge TI2JV.
This is our operating room. Please visit TI1RRC QRZ page to learn more who are the operators.
Please support this effort!
73, Yuri N3QQ”

Charles M0OXO

I was born in the 1960’s and have lived all my life in the Coal Mining Town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, Northern England. My parents were all from this area of Yorkshire and my father worked in the main Industry of the local Collieries as a face worker. I have been married to my wife Debbie for 35+ years and we have two children and two grandchildren.

I have been licensed for around 20 years after my interest was re-kindled when I retired from my role as a Police Officer within South Yorkshire Police Force. The latter few years were spent as Radio Operator in the Force Operations Control Room at Sheffield, before my career ended.

IOTA chasing is (and always has been) my real passion, as climbing the ladder to reach Honour Roll status was always my main aim. The 1000 Islands Trophy is still out of reach but I am heading in the right direction. I am currently a Board Member of IOTA Ltd and IREF.

In my free time I am a keen Photographer of Wildlife, Aviation, (anything really) but the QSL Manager role is my main passion within Ham Radio.
