Update May 9, 2026:  This will be my 18th trip to the island. During the last few trips the amount of email requests while I was there increased significantly.
This is a one person operation so please understand that I cannot read and respond all the emails while I am there. I post logs to LoTW and ClubLog daily as long as I have internet access. I cannot do scheds and band change requests. I will try to concentrate on the higher frequency bands while we are at this peak in the sunspot cycle.  These two weeks are also prime for 50 MHz so I am always watching that band for openings.

Update January 3, 2026: Eric, KV1J, will be QRV again on 80-6m (CW, SSB and FT8/FT4) as FP/KV1J from St. Pierre from June 27 to July 13, 2026.

Eric states, "Generally on the highest frequency band open favoring 12M, 10M and 6M. Also active on 60M FT8 (allocation is 5351.5-5366.5 15 watts so mostly FT8 & 5357). No satellite operation. Some POTA QRP activations SSB, where I can hike by foot or bicycle and when WX is good." He also plans to be in the Canada Day Contest, IARU/WRTC HF Contest (July 11-12th; CW/SSB) and VHF contests.

His equipment include:
Elecraft K3
Heathkit SB-200 (80-15m) amplifier
N1IW Off-Centered Fed Dipole for 80-10m
SpiderBeam HD 5-band Wire Yagi Beam for 20-10m
a dipole for 30m
a vertical for 60m
a 3-element Yagi for 6m

QSL via KV1J, direct, by the Bureau, LoTW, ClubLog's OQRS or eQSL.
He will upload log to LoTW and ClubLog almost every night and eQSL approximately one week after returning home.

Update June 28, 2025: He states that his operations will be primarily SSB and FT8, generally on the highest frequency band open favoring 12/10/6m. He will also be active on 60m FT8 (allocation is 5351.5-5366.5 15 watts so mostly FT8 & 5357). No satellite operations. Eric will be active in the "Canada Day" and Marconi Contests. Also, look for him to be in the IARU HF World Championship Contest on CW and SSB.

Update January 14, 2024: This trip is in memory of my good friend Jean-Pierre, FP5CJ, who became a SK in September 2024. Jean-Pierre was a huge help to many hams that came to Saint Pierre to operate. We will miss you!

This will be my 17th trip to the island. During the last few trips the amount of email requests while I was there increased significantly.
