Since his first trip to Barbados when he was 22, Chris Billings has wanted to go back to this Caribbean island. Now in retirement and with a long bucket list to check off, Chris WA7RAR has finally made it back to Barbados with his Parks on the Air ham radio gear in tow. Indeed, his portable radio activation trip has become an annual tradition. In this conversation, Chris tells us about amateur radio licensing in Barbados, what he took for radio gear, and the friends that he made along the way. The latter was very important when he needed to call upon his Barbadian friends to bail him out of trouble! Learn more about Chris and activating Barbados Parks on the Air in this episode of W1DED in Maine.
