"Rent-a-QTH: Sand Dollar Villa

Matt Smith (non ham) owns the villa that belonged to N4JQQ/C6AFP.  Matt is very happy to rent the condo to hams.  NO RADIO is there, so you will have to bring your own.  The villa is an excellent spot for a vacationer with friends or family who would also like to include some casual "DX" ham radio operation.

Please check out http://www.sanddollarvilla.com/hamradio.htm for detailed information.

See the villa at www.sanddollarvilla.com.  Contact Matt at rental@sanddollarvilla.com or by phone at 781-449-2215 for more information.

Sincerely,
Matt Smith
