Stinger, Welcome Back !

& thanks for the report.
It's amazing how much stuff you can pick up down there on Shortwave

- Speaking about "Down", how was diving ? How was the food?
How were the accomodations?
What's it like in San Pedro ?

When in Bonaire, I was picking up Lots of South American Stuff ,
( Didn't log anything; Just lazed about ! )

I took my Kaito 1102 with me to San Pedro, Belize last week, and am happy to
report that there is PLENTY of shortwave to listen to down there. However,
they do have noisy powerlines (or generators, or something that makes a
racket on various frequencies).

Just for grins, I also tried some MW dx with it and was really surprised to
be able to listen to George Noory on WOAI (San Antonio). The signal was
fairly weak but steady, but since there weren't a lot of MW signals out
there to interfere, the 1102 pulled it right in.

FM was the biggest surprise. Two stations -- one playing Mexicano-style
stuff, the other -- get this -- country western (the time I checked -- 88.1
Mhz or so).
