UPDATE ON THE BUDDIPOLE DXPEDITION
Hi from the Caribbean. The 8 of us have thousands of contacts from this tiny island in the Grenadines. Another successful “Buddies in the Caribbean” trip.
One more day. We always listen for the word
“Buddipole” when we stand by. Give us a call
when you hear us. We leave here Tuesday AM. Schedules always welcomed. Email me.
We met today with a group of local J88 hams.
They are really nice guys. They spent all day with us. We operated from a mountaintop near our villa with great success. It is always a pleasure to meet folks down here who have to be prepared for emergency communications.
This has been a super trip!
Budd
Have fun every day
