Welcome to Tropical band

To most people the phrase "tropical bands" bring a pretty clear picture to mind - a bunch of shirtless guys playing calypso music. But to experienced shortwave DXers those two little words express the most challenging and enjoyable part of the radio hobby. The phrase kindles memories of a DXer's best catches and favorite QSLs, of exotic stations, music and of early morning listening sessions. (Don Moore)
I like the "Tropical band" name for new 60m allocation. (OK1RP)

Effective from 1st Jan 2017 please paper QSL via OM-bureau only.

St. Barthelemy Isl. by Rudi, DK7PE

Hi folks,

as you know Rudi, DK7PE is again travelling in Caribbean area. After visiting VP9 he moved to C6 and then on 15 February he moved to VP5 where he was again active on 60m band on CW with excellent signals specially in the morning EU time. 

Today morning he called on the 60m band from Saint Barthelemy Island as FJ/DK7PE/P with amazing signals and it was possible to work him at around 06:00Z on 5353 split up2.


So Rudi, DK7PE is currently active as FJ/DK7PE/P from Saint Barthelemy Island, IOTA NA - 146. He is working on HF Bands including 60m band CW!
QSL via home call bureau or direct.

Christopher Columbus added St. Barthelemy, or St. Barts to his collection in 1493, but the French soon stepped in. Today, the chic Caribbean island - officially a department of France - is a popular winter getaway for people from mainland France, the rest of Europe and North America. Keep in shape and walk between attractions or get a rental car to see more of the island. Beachgoers can choose between strands such as Grand Saline, if nude sunbathing appeals, or shady, isolated Colombier Beach.
