Montserrat for #121

My LOTW account was just updated with DXCC#121 from VP2MLL operating on 10m during the recent SSB contest from Montserrat. Montserrat had a devastating Volcano erupt in July 1995 and the damage to the southern part of the Island was severe enough to warrant moving the capital to the Northern part. The United Kingdom also made it easy to immigrate to the homeland since Montserrat is a territory of the UK. Alot more information is available online about this devastating event.

Centennial Certificate

Just received My ARRL Centennial points certificate. Another nice piece of "wallpaper" to add to My shack. It was a fun challenge and I found Myself chasing points most nights!. Too bad I only started active pursuit in late October so I missed my chance for WAS and didn't reach the last level of the points challenge.It still was very satisfying to achieve 3rd level!

Caribbean trip

The view as We landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico.Our vacation during Spring Break was a Cruise from San Juan to Barbados,St Lucia,Antigua,St Maarten and St Croix on the Royal Caribbean ship "Adventure of the Seas". Lots of warm weather and Sun and just a very good time had by all! Very fun to visit Islands I've contacted thru Radio QSO's and to dream about a vacation expedition to any Island. Family vacations don't seem to lend themselves to that kind of pause in the itinerary!
