Thanks / 73, Dennis K7BV ~ SAN ANDRES y PROVIDENCIA ARCHIPELAGO ~ The archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina is located 480 miles northwest from the Colombian Caribbean Coast and 140 mile east of Nicaragua. It is made up of the islands of San Andres, Providence and St. Catherine, Bolivar and Albuqueque islets, Cotton, Haynes, Johnny, Serrana, Serranilla, Quitasueno, Rocky, and Crab cays and Alicia and Bajo Nuevo sand banks. ~ San Andrés Island ~ San Andrés, at the southern end of the archipelago is the largest island at 8 miles long and just under 2 miles wide. It is mostly flat, with the highest point being less than 300' tall. Most of the tourism and commercial businesses are on this island. After a really tough trip to this island full of challenges last year, I am bringing a friend Bryon K9MBS along this year to help raise a longer boom yagi. That yagi combined with a functional KW amplifier and numerous more days on the air will insure that many more of the Deserving put this DXCC entity in their log. The two openings to Europe last year with only 100 watts convinced me coming back in 2009 was a must-do. Together, you on your end of the opening and me on mine, we shall prove that San Andres Island in not "One Hop Too Far."
