 Sunday, March 2, 2025: Morning on the island of Bonaire.   Birds need to be shooed away from tables at breakfast.  Mark headed to the famous Amateur Radio Station PJ4G.  As it turned out, there was a contest that weekend where amateur radio operators in the U.S. and Canada were making as many contacts with foreign countries as possible. Operators here were only too happy to oblige. The keyboards are for logging (record keeping) of the contacts made by voice. Operators rang up 11,743 contacts in a 48-hour period at PJ4G.  One of them, Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R, from Glastenbury, CT, was in his glory talking with stations all over the world.   As usual, there is always antenna work to be done. Itishmira "Ish" Croes, PJ4ISH was also seen at the controls.  Meanwhile, Paula was SCUBA diving that day and looking for fish. She found them.     The divers were telling stories, some of them true, about the size of the fish they saw while the all-wet Deep Diver Paula was hanging up her dive suit before showering.  Then it was time for dinner. (l-r) Retired Doctor Mark Steinhauser, married to retired Doctor Leslie Kopietz, Mark and then Paula.  Sunsets were worth seeing on Bonaire.  Way in the background is a cruise ship, heading away after a day in Bonaire. |
Quote of the day:
A great day on Bonaire. Mark |
