4 February 1998 through 10 February 1998. We were located on
South Water Caye, IOTA NA-180. South Water Caye is located 20
miles Southeast of Dangriga. Our host was the Pelican
Beach Resort located in Dangriga. They did a fantastic job
getting things ready for our visit. Special thanks to Martha who
cooked us some terrific meals! We made over 8300 contacts and had
a GREAT time doing it! Thanks for working us. 73 de Barry/V31TR
