V31BG - Belize. QRV until October 12
V31BG QTH
I (VE7ISV) am QRV to Belize - left Canada on October 2nd, 2008. I overnighted in Texas, and then flew to Belize City on October 3rd. By nightfall I was in Placencia, Belize. Here is the link to where I am staying, and the Ham Shack - I am staying upstairs at the Palmetto Place Guest House. This is a solo vacation - just me, the beach, and a Ham Shack.
Check out the Journal. It will have links to pictures, log files, etc.
I intend to work SSB on as many bands as I can. If I’m really pushed, I’m going to work CW (Morse Code) as well. I’ve been working hard on my Morse Code - let’s see if I have the opportunity and the drive to do it. If you work me on CW - be gentle - it will be one of my first times!
I plan on using this website to track my vacation, how I am doing on my Ham Radio contacts, and share what I expect to be a special vacation with my friends, and fellow Hams. If this vacation works well - I’m going to do another one as soon as I can. This Web Site is intended to become a living document on one of my favourite hobbies - Amateur (Ham) Radio.

Hi Bill… I’m just a couple miles up the road from you (just north of Seine Bight Village). No equipment up at the moment. I will try to stop by to say hello today. Drew

Thanks for nice QSO Bill !
I was able to work V31BG 3 times - twice on 20 meters and once on 17 meters - operating picnic table portable from a Chicago city park on 35 watts. What a cool vacation and I am glad I could be part of it. Thanks, Bill!
