After 40 years in the UK, we now live on the South coast about 60 miles West of Kingston near Malvern. At just over 2250ft ASL and 3 air miles inland of the beach, we enjoy a near panoramic view of the surrounding lowlands looking out to the sea horizon.

Our location is ideal for 6Y5WJ but vunerable to the elements, especially during the hurricane season, ie June - November.

A very modest station comprised of Kenwood equipment, a 5 band quad,a 160M vertical with elevated radials, an 80M dipole, a 40M vertical, a Beverage toward EU and a Pennant toward the USA.

I operate 99% CW and I'm a member of various CW clubs. I do operate other modes, but much rather the challenge of CW. As an absolute novice contester, I've adopted the code of conduct, so if you hear me, do likewise and I WILL answer you.!

I was first licensed in 1982 as G6RXC and soon after, under the mentorship of G0FOC (Mick) achieved the “A” class license and subsequent callsign G0NAN.

We currently offer accommodation at our annex and my shack is also available to licensed hams who are interested in operating from 6Y5.

Our most recent visitors, the well known duo, Lali (VE3NE) and George (VE3NZ) were operating 6Y3M in the CQWWCW.George (6Y3M) again in the160M contest, also the revered and well known Yuri (VE3DZ) operating SOAB HP as 6Y2T in the ARRL CW contest and crossing the finish line in second place with a score of 6.8M.
