Episode 183 - Geoff Howard - W0CG / PJ2DX
Many of us, especially when we are sitting at our work desk in the cold of Winter, long for tropical warmth, golden sands, and great ham radio that operating from the Caribbean could offer. My guest this week is Geoff Howard, W0CG / PJ2DX, who operates along with his ham friends the P2JT contest station in a villa on a cliff overlooking the sea in Curacao. Geoff shares his ham radio story and the history of P2JT in this QSO Today.
