Should work AOK from Tennessee, no conflicts on the radar as yet.
I’ll try and have some thoughts and destinations for 2024. Lots of time to digest and cud-chew.

I might try to go back to PEI…likely in late June, 2025. I’m planning to be a part of The BLAISDELL Family National Association 5-year reunion in York, Maine. Close enough to go to PEI again.

There’s a similar place in Virgin Islands. Not DX but has gear in place. I think there are multiple apartments…would require advance planning and commitment.

Hi Ev,?

Thanks for the note. I'm back home after being in NW Georgia. I was lucky as Mac and Lynne visited me while I attended my sports xar event.

While we were together we discussed DX trips, nothing in particular but everything in general. The bottom line is that we want to get one or two more DXPEDITIONS while we are able to do so. The current group is the best. You, Peter, Mac and I work well together and enjoy traveling as a group. But we're not getting any younger. Looks like Mac will need shoulder surgery during this year. Each of us has a medical situation that may limit our ability to travel if it gets worse.

PEI was a perfect place to include our non-ham wives/ladies, but not every place is so conducive to couples.

The best travel periods for me to go on a radio trip is December (not Christmas of course), January and February. That means warmer latitudes. Places like Belize, Cuba, South America, Pacific Islands, New Zealand and near by options. Mac mentioned American Virgin Islands.?

I suggest that we have a group zoom meetings to discuss ideas.

Cheers, Joe?

We’re taking the CRV…Barbara has a hard time using the bed in the Van.

I’m going to do some one and two night POTA activations this late Spring and Summer using the Van.

Adventurers:

We have plans to travel to Arizona next month (March). We’ll be in Phoenix (March 3-10), Pinetop (March 10-19), and Scottsdale (March 19-25). Primarily a Spring Training baseball jaunt, we’ll see some family in the Phoenix area too. I’m going to have some rig with me…not sure what yet. Likely the KX-3…and something for VHF/UHF.

From June 30-July 12 we’ll be in Kailua-Kona, big island.? Not sure what rig will go yet.? We’re in a Condo, but will be radio active as W6ABM/KH6.

Fully recovered from my December infection/surgery episode.

A Merry Christmas to all and thank you Ev.

May 2023 bring you all good health and happy events. I plan on gearing up for “outdoor activations” at least twice a month starting as soon as the weather warms to a (reasonably) tolerable level, but no later than Winter Field Day on Jan, 28-29.
