✍️ Notes from PH2M:
“This will be my third trip to Bonaire after 2013 & 2015. Although the original rental near PJ4DX is no longer available, I’ve found a new QTH with excellent take-off to EU, NA & Asia.”
Perfect for DXers hunting SA-006 or looking to work PJ4M on digital modes. Stay tuned via Club Log and watch for updates as PH2M enjoys the sunshine and airwaves of Bonaire! ☀️📶
