CQWW Phone 2018

CQWW SSB will be an operation by TEAM CANADA – a mix of folks from the Great White North, and those that wished they lived here. Yes – its true – we CAN walk on water – in the winter, which is another good reason to head south.

I have been voluntold to be team captain, and this will be my first go in this role, and several folks have stepped up to support me. I just normally sit down and operate – this time I get to lead the troops. The team consists of the following operators:

VE3CX – Tom

VE3TW – Stan, and his XYL Linda – first trip to PJ2T

VE3MXJ – Brad – first trip to PJ2T

VE4EA – Cary, and his XYL Marion – first trip to PJ2T

VE4VT – Ed – first trip to PJ2T. Also known under his old call – VE4EAR

VA7AM – David and his XYL Gillian

W0CG – Geoff

W3ACO – Rich – team cook (YAYYYY!)

KF4DX – Egon

K8PGJ – Pete

Stan – VE3TW contacted his local MPP (Minister of the Provincial Parliament), and explained that Team Canada would be visiting the island of Curacao on an international friendship mission, and secured a Canadian flag for us. Geoff has indicated he will find a suitable home for it – probably on one of the towers where the Maple Leaf will oversee our operation.

This is a pretty cool trip for all of us. Cary and Marion have already headed south to escape the snow and cold of a Manitoba winter, and I too will be leaving the snow behind for a real taste of summer. Will have a great mix of folks who have limited experience operating from a multi-op, on up to folks who have lots of multi-op experience.

The operators have their assignments, and Team Canada is ready to kick butt and bring home another CQWW multi-op plaque – like Team Europe did in 2016. So – please work us, spot us, and we will regale everyone with tales of our journey after the trip is over.

!!GO TEAM CANADA!!

73 – Tom, VE3CX
