November 2017 will be the exact 50^th anniversary of the PJ3CC CQWW CW contest operation from Curacao’s Coral Cliff neighborhood. Manned by legendary contest operators W1BIH, W1FJJ, W1TX, W3GRF, W4GF, and W4KFC, this station won the CQWW M/M world championship trophy pictured here. This was the first organized contest operation from the Coral Cliff area, and since then the Coral Cliff neighborhood of Curacao has been the most active contest location in the world. For half a century teams operating from the Curacao homes of John Thompson (W1BIH/PJ9JT), of Chester Brandon (PJ9EE), from the Coral Cliff Hotel including the famous Radioteam Finland operations, and since 2000 from the PJ2T contest station have made literally millions of contest contacts. The incredible propagation conditions from this locale are now legendary.

        PJ2T will operate CQWW CW as a Multi/Multi entry in November 2017 to commemorate this fabulous milestone, to honor the six operators who started it all, and to celebrate the long history of operations from contesting’s “mecca,” Curacao’s Coral Cliff neighborhood. Our planned VIP Guest of Honor for the operation is Al Rousseau, W1FJ, the only surviving member of the 1967 operation.
