The current posted rates are the same as ours in 2022:
First Ham??????????? $1,000
Second Ham??????????? 750
Additional Hams?????? 500
No added fee for our +1s if they travel with us.
Contests during that period include:
Last Weekend June 2025 ??? ?????? King of Spain SSB, ARRL Field Day ??? N3BUS

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.

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. Ev?

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 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.
