The 'Buddipole Users on Monserrat' (BUMS) have
made their final preparations for their lightweight DXpedition.

NE1RD (VP2MRD), Mike/KC4VG (VP2MVG), Paul/KB9AVO (VP2MVO), Bob/AB7ST (VP2MST)
and Tom/W4OKW (VP2MTC).
They will establish two stations at Gingerbread Hill, one SSB/CW and

Several portable stations will be operated during the day from various
interesting points on the island including the Montserrat Volcano Observatory,
hilltops along hiking trails, and beaches using portable antennas, batteries,
and solar power.
