Pity.  If you had operated for just a little longer, you would have found VP5JM 
on during almost every major RTTY contest.  My most recent contact with Jody 
was in March 2005 during TARA.  And yes, she rents out the shack and antennas 
(http://www.vp5jm.com/).

The more recent RTTY ops also misses out on easy contacts with TY1PS and HH2PK, 
among others.  Peter moved on to other Digital modes, but there was a big TY 
DXpedition within the last 10 years that operated from Peter's house, if memory 
serves.  Patrick was at one time not just active with RTTY but CW and SSB 
contests too.  I believe Patrick has left Haiti.
