The station has the needed essentials for day-to-day operation.
Also, I often use it for contesting.

RENTAL
On occasion, I get requests whether I rent out my station. My station
is not available for rent, however take a look at
www.p49v.com (new QTH) or
www.arubaqth.com. It is the
perfect option if you are interested in doing a contest, or if you want to be
the DX. Currently these are the only P4 rentals available.
BACKGROUND
Even though Aruba nowadays is known as a tourist
destination, some of us actually do live here year round, and I am one of the
"lucky" ones. Except for my college years when I
attended the University of Miami in Coral Gables, FL, I have always lived here. In 1996,
after completing my Masters in International Business and Computer Information
Systems, I returned back to Aruba. At present, I am working in the private
sector for a local construction company.
