Update November 2, 2026: We are less than 30 days to departure for St Martin. The team is very excited and anxious to work the pileups. We have held several team meetings and all remaining actions are underway and will be completed on time for departure. All four Flex Aurora radios have been thoroughly tested. The Flex Auroras will allow very easy set up and quick deployment. Our plan is to erect antennas for 10, 15 and 20 first so we can activate TO9W for the CQWW CW contest on November 29th. We are now finalizing all computers and required networking.
The plan is to have more operators and new equipment for our 2026 activity.
More updates in the coming weeks. Once they arrive, updates will be posted on their Facebook page along with photos: https://www.facebook.com/groups/539588070673287
All questions, comments and schedule requests should be directed to ( TO9W 2026@gmail.com ).
The team arrives late on November 28th and they plan to enter the CQWW DX Contest once they have some antennas erected.
Update December 14, 2025: "TO9W is now QRT for 2025. Our last QSO was December 12th at 1705Z. Thanks to all for helping us with our QSO goals. We had a lot of fun watching people chase us on every band/mode possible. Planning has already started for 2026.
