DX bulletin 217 28/09/2017 By ON9CFG ON9CFG@telenet.be DX news TO2SP St Barts DXpedition –update As you all know, hurricane Irma ripped through the Leeward Islands, with some of the worst devastation in the area of St. Martin, St. Barts and Anguilla/Antigua. We have been monitoring the situation very carefully for the last few weeks to assess the situation. Although our trip is primarily driven by the availability of our rental villa, we also had to take into consideration the availability and reliability of power and Internet connections, which are rapidly being restored on St. Barts. We received word today from our agent that our villa suffered no significant damage from the wind. Since we are on a bluff looking to the north and east, we did not have any water damage or flooding.
