PJ2T, W1FJ, and the Curacao Half-Century CQWW Celebration

摘要

That one step was taken in November 1967, when Al Rousseau, W1FJJ, operated on a team that "won the world" from Curacao in the CQ World Wide CW contest1. Last fall, precisely 50 years later, in that same location, he did it again! The "Curacao Half-Century CQWW Celebration" commemorates 50 years of continuous intense contesting from Curacao's Coral Cliff neighborhood, honors the memory of five famous Silent Keys who were on that 1967 PJ3CC team, and salutes Al, now W1FJ, who returned to Curacao to win again. But let's rewind to the beginning, as none of this would have been possible without the remarkable Chet Brandon (SK; Photo A).
