Geoff W0CG/PJ2DX in the middle
Curacao DX super contest station is one of our favorites. One of our member of the SDXA from North Idaho, Goeff Howard W0CG/PJ2DX, is the owner, manager, and chief bottle washer. Here is another sort-of- new article approved for our reprint from the ARRL. It is called The Organizational Nuts and Bolts of PJ2T and is written by Goeff, originally published in the January/February 2018 NCJ..

GEOFF W0CG – PJ2DX AND THE 50TH BIRTHDAY OF CONTEST STATION PJ2T IN CURACAO
Geoff was the guest speaker at the October, 2018 SDXA meeting. His contest station observed its 50th birthday with the one remaining ham (Al Rousseau W1FJ) who operated at the original contest invited to attend. The event was featured in an article by Geoff published in the May, 2018 issue of CQ Magazine. Here is a LINK to that article.

Friday, January 4th, 2019
Speaker Jim Fenstermaker K9JF talks about the reemergence of Kosovo as a ham radio nation.
Mark Van Winkle K7HPT shows off his award certificate for working all ten contests in the 2017-2018 PNW Challenge Cup. He was the only member to do this.
Looks like the start to eating. The man with clasped hands in the background is Spokane’s own ham radio author Bob Zavrel W7SX. His book entitled Antenna Physics: An Introduction is available at both the ARRL and Amazon.
Plate are clean; looks like an end to the eating period.
