Beginning November 21, 2011, look for me as VP2MWT on the island of Montserrat B.W.I. I will be there until November 30th.

During the CQWW CW contest, I'll be part of a Minnesota-based team from the Twin City DX Association (TCDXA) and the Minnesota Wireless Association (MWA) using the VP2MWG callsign. VP2MWG will also be used during the ARRL 160 meter contest (operated by N0AT and WøOR).

Joining me will be: DF7OGO (VP2MGO), NøAT (VP2MTA), NøSTL (VP2MTL) and WøOR (VP2MOR) so look for those callsigns before and after the contest.
