Bahamas DXpedition 2009

May 31 to June 14, 2009

QSL Card
Last October Renee, Mark, Pete, and I, participated in the Ham Radio Cruise 2008 visiting Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas.
  
I was very surprised with the major pile-ups we created, clearly demonstrating the pent-up demand for contacts with C6A.  The cruise left us wanting more and was the genesis for the 2009 DXpedition. 

This site will help chronicle the trip.  Please enjoy the site and feel free to drop me an email with your comments.

Best 73's,

Scott K2CK/C6A

Here are some images from the house.  We are located on the Northeast Corner of New Providence Island (IOTA NA-001) and Grid Square FL-15.
