island (Netherlands Antilles) and took part in the CQ WW WPX CW 2004
contest using call PJ4U .
With 4709 QSOs and 17 502 264 confirmed points we took 1st place in the world
in Multi-Two category.
Before and after the contest we were active on the bands using PJ4/.... calls.
PJ4/YL2GM (Juris) made some QSO's using RTTY.
Noah's (K2NG) QTH was used for this operation.

3 notebooks with 
4 of us arrived to Bonaire (route
Riga-Amsterdam-Curacao-Bonaire) on May 23, 2004. Herberts, YL3GE (K7GEX) was on the
island one day before.
First QSO' s were made on the same evening of May 23.
During our operation periodically we experienced very strong (S 7-9 on S-meter) noise on all bands coming from our main direction (North). Possibly the source was local high voltage power line.
QRT date was June 5, 2004.
QSL manager for call PJ4U is YL2KL.
For QSO's with PJ4/YL2KL, PJ4/YL2GM, PJ4/YL2VW, PJ4/YL2GQT (Silent Key
since 2018), PJ4/K7GEX (Silent Key since 2019) QSL cards
should be sent via home calls.
