Repost: PJ4M – Bonaire (May 2025)

📡 PJ4M – Bonaire DXpedition
📍 IOTA: SA-006 | Grid: FK52uf
👤 Operator: PH2M (with his XYL)
🗓️ Dates: May 16–29, 2025

🎉 Back to Bonaire After 10 Years!
PH2M is heading back to the sun-drenched shores of Bonaire for a holiday-style DXpedition—relaxed but active! This marks his return after his 2013 and 2015 trips, and once again he'll be QRV as PJ4M.

This is a single-operator, single-radio trip, no contest-mode hustle—just ham radio fun while exploring the island with his non-HAM XYL.

📍 New QTH
This time around, he’s found a new rental spot with a fantastic take-off toward EU, NA, and AS, ideally located on the North/North-East coast of Bonaire.
