The Beachcomers Hotel is a lovely place down a hill to be right on the water with an excellent staff that takes care of you and a full service restaurant.

Getting the equipment together at home
![radio trip equipment](https://images.harvestamerica.tech/wj2o/dxpeditions/j8/photos/j8-21.jpg)
Preparing for my radio trip that starts next Saturday. Each time before I leave I get everything together and make sure it works.
This is the exact same set-up I used on Isle of Man last July. Even though this was less than a year ago it takes me about a week to search through my office, shack and house for all the cables and parts.
