Operating from countries outside the US can be a lot of fun. I just completed
another Slacker DXpedition, this time to the British Virgin Islands. The
formula for this type of operation is simple: identify an interesting
vacation spot that is also considered DX, travel there with friends and
family, take along some compact radio gear, and get on the air.

A key point is not to overdo the radio operating, or the friends and family
will veto any radio activity on future trips. This was not a super-gonzo
turbo-charged DXpedition. I just worked in some radio action in between
snorkeling and exploring the island. This is referred to as a '�holiday
style'� DXpedition, or maybe it'�s just the slacker approach.
