Have you dreamt about operating from the Caribbean and being the DX? Dr. Bill Schmidt K9HZ has not only created a radio paradise for himself on the island of St. Lucia but his villa and amateur radio station are available for rent. If you're intrigued, listen to Bill talk about how he and his wife settled upon St. Lucia for their retirement home and how a simple ham radio setup eventually became two towers, a SteppIR antenna, Elecraft K4's, and more. Even if you're not planning a trip, hearing the story behind your QSO with J68HZ (or J62K in the recent CQ WPX SSB contest) will surely put a smile on your face. Thank you for joining us and subscribing to W1DED Worldwide Ham Radio where we bring you (at least) one interview with an experienced ham radio operator every week. 73, Kevin W1DED
Thanks for another interesting interview Kevin. I really enjoyed listening to it. I like Bill's approach to YOTA ops. It was a pleasure working Grace KE8RJU (now K8LG) and her dad in the last CQ WPX SSB as J62K. 73! Flo PB8DX
