About Me
I’m visiting lovely Barbados to get away from the winter snow, ice and cold temps.
My QSL info is:
If you want to exchange QSLs, that is fine. I am old school and like very much to feel paper QSLs and put them in my radio shack. If you want a card, pse send a SASE (Self addressed and stamped envelope with Canadian postage) or $US4 greenbacks and an self addressed envelope for air mail or first class postage. Pse be patient and tnx!
My Story
I travel to the Caribbean in the winter and usually bring my Elecraft K3S with a Hexbeam and windom. We all have a passion. I love to scuba dive in the Caribbean and see the fishes, sharks, manitous, stingrays, whales and squids.

Barbados is an island country in the Caribbean located in the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies and the easternmost island of the Caribbean region. It lies on the boundary of the South American and Caribbean plates. Its capital and largest city is Bridgetown.
On 30 November 1966, Barbados moved toward political independence and assumed the status of a Commonwealth realm, becoming a separate jurisdiction with Elizabeth II (Now King Charles) as the Queen of Barbados. On 30 November 2021, Barbados transitioned to a republic within the Commonwealth, replacing its monarchy with a ceremonial president.
Barbados's population is predominantly of African ancestry. While it is technically an Atlantic island, Barbados is closely associated with the Caribbean and is ranked as one of its leading tourist destinations.
Population is 281, 998 as of 2023. Area is 169 sq miles.
