KG4, GUANTANAMO BAY. Larry, WB6VGI, will be returning to Cuba, around the 8th of August for about 30 days. Signing KG4ML (CW and SSB), he will be operating 160-10 meters on the weekends and 80-15 meters on the weekdays. His work schedule will determine the weekday times, but he hopes to be on from 1000-1130 and 2200-0300z. Larry states the weekends will be the big push (but taking time out for a fishing trip or two). This looks like the last trip down to Cuba for Larry, so he is going to try and work as many that need KG4 as possible. WARC bands will have a higher priority as the resident ham population spends a lot of time on the "usual" bands. He reports 10 MHz is very difficult due to a local noise source that's about 30 over S9, but he will try whenever noise is absent. QSL via WB6VGI.
