Thinking about the Caribbean or West Indies for one of next year’s DX contests. One criterion for choosing a destination will be how easy or hard it is to get a local license and call sign for a US citizen. Anyone have experience with this? Please share below.

A foggy, drizzly morning at Cabrillo National Monument, US-0907. The dampness shorted out my code key, so I made more than the usual amount of SSB QSOs.

I knew going into it that I wouldn't get a chance to be QRV on HF today, so I made it a point to get on a couple FM satellite passes.

Happy World Amateur Radio Day to all who celebrate!

Nice to hear some new call signs, and one very familiar call sign @ak8cw.bsky.social on SO-124 and ARISS today.

Whale of a Day in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Gordon West brought his Mobile Communications Unit, N6AUX activated lighthouse USA-640, and a good time was had by all.

We logged 45 QSOs, including an ARISS QSO with WD9EWK in front of a cheering crowd that had gathered.
