Chris, WA7RAR, will be active as 8P9CB from Sea Cliff Cottage, Ocean City, St. Phillip, Barbados, on March 5-16, 2025. He states, "All of my operations here will be portable at the many favorable locations I have found here during prior visits. Many will be made from some of the POTA (Parks on the Air) sites that are scattered about the country. Operations here will be SSB and CW only across the 20 through 10 meter bands. Equipment during this trip will include a Yaesu FT-710 feeding a ground mounted 1/4 wave telescopic vertical mounted to a homebrewed copy of the Terlin Outbacker tripod. I used this same arrangement on my last visit here and was very pleased with it's performance. No radials or counterpoise needed...along with a quick and easy set-up and teardown."
