Caribbean Contesting Consortium Shipment Photos

Return to Home Page

In April 2001 we shipped several tons of PJ2T materiel to Curacao. The stuff was gathered from all over the country, marshalled in W8AV's barn in Wooster, Ohio, for packing and inventory, and then driven to Miami in a rented Ryder. From there the stuff was loaded into a container and ocean freighted to Curacao. Here are some of the relevant photos.

These were shot by N8BJQ at W8AV on the miserable, wet, freezing day we marshalled materiel at Goose's. It was about 32 degrees, windy, and there was an inch or two of standing water everywhere. We trial-fitted all Rohn sections to be sure legs would fit, marked them for best-fit, and carefully prepared lists of items that still need to be obtained. Check out the current work list. Special thanks to N8NR (who got up at 5 AM) and N8BJQ (almost that early) to bring all of his donated Rohn parts to Goose's, a four hour drive.Some of these files are very large.
