We visited Treasure Cay on Abaco Island, one of the northern Bahamas. |
We were there where they drive on the left side of the road. Very small villages and not much traffic though. |
Beautiful secluded beaches. |
Terry checking out the Caribbean Sea. |
Up early to throw an antenna into a palm tree before the neighbors noticed.
We operated our station with an Icom 706 putting out 100 watts using a dipole at about 20 feet. |
Marilyn's QSL card |
We made about 400 radio contacts mostly on 20 meters. |
Terry called CQ, CQ 10 meters for the 10-10 contest hundreds of times, but the propagation was poor so we only got 71 points. |
We talked to many hams who had never talked to the Bahamas before and really wanted Terry's QSL card to confirm the contact. |

Beautiful |
Quiet |
There's a big marina. Fishing is the thing to do. |
Some of the villas are very handy to the boats. |
Some very big, expensive yachts. |
Going out to sea. |
Treasure Cay hotel. In addition to all the villas there was a small grocery, a liquor store, 1 shop and a bakery. |
Across the road was a bar and casual restaurant on the beach. |
Outside eating area at the Coco Bar. |
What a beach! |
Only a few houses and villas along the beach. |
Terry taking a break. The Bahamians are very friendly and talkative. |
We both enjoyed the rum concoctions. A Mango Tango and a Baha Mama. |
