Wow the runway is paved, they have really made some improvements
since I was there 40 years ago. We went to Belize city to get
supplies but we chartered a WWII Catalina sea plane, that was exciting.
Have a good time, try to get some time and go snorkeling on the
reefs, during the day.

Well the Belize DXpedition is officially on it's way. Tuesday
everyone arrived and our host Bob Fox was very welcoming and
helpful, getting us settled in the resort. The afternoon and early
evening was spent getting V31SR computer and radio set up as well as
dsl modem, wireless router and other gear set up. It is a minor
miracle that the AA4SW gear made it. A rugged looking file case
containing the entire bare bones station could not be carried on as
anticipated, and arrived in Belize with the bottom of the case
falling off. Some packing tape at the airport temporarily held the
bottom on and nothing was lost, The ATX case was dented. Also the
rugged transit case looked 'sucked in' on the sides putting in doubt
whethere the LCD monitor made it. Everything did, but it should be a
challenge to get it all re-packaged for the trip home. The flight
down from Belize City was rather a hair raiser. About 20 folks
packed into the plane which seemed a little overloaded. Carson, the
last person on sat in the co-pilots seat. The 'airports' are not
much more than poorly paved strips only a little wider than a 1.5 lane road!

I fail to see why doing the same thing over and over and getting the
same results every time is insanity: I've almost proved it isn't;
only a few more tests now and I'm sure results will differ this time ...
