As expected I've got questioned about radio, antennas, power supply at airport. I've learned lesson long time ago, so all paperwork was inside the luggage. The border control folks were surprised how organized and prepared I was ))) Lol...it's called experience! It took just 3 minutes and I was free to go. They even mentioned that I am the best example how foreigner should be coming with radios to Honduras ))) So hopefully tomorrow will transmit for the first time as HR9/K6VHF. My grid is EK66, IOTA NA-057.
IC-705, PS, 80m-6m antennas.

Information from Alex, HR9/K6VHF Roatan Island:
Initial plans were participate in CQ WW DX SSB contest but it all blew away. Survive with 100watts while there is a booming propagation is impossible. The big guns totally consumed all bands with their kW and there was no place for small station. After calling stations for 10 minutes I abandoned the idea operating. So, it became a mini-FT8 expedition with almost 1000 QSOs on total of 6 bands. I didn't operated only on 160-80-30m bands. 12m and 10m were the best.
See you next time but already on 160-80m and 30m bands. Thx to everyone who called me. All logs will be uploaded to LotW and CLUBlog.

Thanks to everyone who worked me. Log will be uploaded onto CLUBLOG, QRZ and LotW.
Cobweb antenna 20-17-15-12-10m and HB9SL for 40m band worked great. Thanks to Icom for IC-7300 and AH-4 tuner. Next trip would be dedicated to Low Band DXing 160-80-60m.
