and quite a few more........ Need a web page for your visit? Contact
my webmaster and we'll give you an area for FREE*!
Send us your details (and picture) a fortnight in advance and we'll put
your DXpedition on hamcall.net, QRZ.com and DX425 too. When
you leave the arrivals area at the airport, turn
right** [still inside], walk past the greeting area [SMILE] and exit the side
automatic door to
meet Ed. KEEP
SMILING! Ed can no longer sit and wait for you at the airport. Look to
your left for a payphone (public telephone box). It takes cash only and
a call to Ed is 50c (2 quarters). It takes US and local coins but not
Canadian.
When Ed arrives (normally a few minutes) you'll be looking for a WHITE
Mitsubishi minivan (Licence No. VP9GE(!)). If
you do not see the minivan telephone 293-2525 for transport
(146.82MHz sometimes works also). **[If you
go straight on, you will walk up to the line of waiting
taxi drivers and miss
Ed. Some
taxi drivers do not know where Tarrafal Drive is].
*For radio
amateurs only. Your area will be on vp9ge.com/<your home
