The Frankford Radio Club members of Team Antigua are once again pleased to announce that they will activate The Island of Antigua as V26B in 1995. Our primary goal is to be active during the CQWW International SSB Contest on October 28th & 29th, 1995. We will be entering the Multi-operator, Multi-transmitter catagory as V26B, with operation on all bands during the contest period.

"Team" members will be active on various bands and modes both before and after the competition period as time permits. We will be making special efforts to be active on the WARC Bands, 160 meters as well as some satellite operations. KF3P and WT3Q will be making special efforts to be as active on RTTY as time permits.

Team Antigua would especially like to thank V21AN, V21AR, V21BF, and V21C for all of their assistance and for showing us the true meaning of Antigian Hospitality.

These are the only operators I can confirm at this point. There possibly will be some additions made.

You will automatically qualify for a certificate of appreciation. But if you work V26B on all of the competiton bands, 10 meters thru 160 meters, you will automatically qualify for an extra special certificate of appreciation from Team Antigua. To receive these awards, just submit your QSL requests for V26B to WT3Q for processing!
