Just Before the Flight

We're getting prepared to fly away on April 1st. Don Berliner is swinging by Urbana in his little single-engine Mooney to wisk me away to Honduras via Austin TX, and Veracruz, Mexico. Meanwhile, I want to acknowledge another donation of a huge number of transistors...all we need to rebuild all of the transmitter output modules for both transmitters...from ON Semiconductor, a really high-class manufacturer in Tuscon, AZ. Thank you so much for your support!

While we get ready, here's some pictures of me working with the Lencas of COPINH last summer......

Return to La Esperanza in April

We're gearing up to return to La Esperanza to do more work on La Voz Lenca on April first. This time, it's a barnstorming trip by single engine plane! I'm getting equipment ready, rebuilding transmitter components, collecting spare parts, and packing all the stuff to be airworthy. I've gotten the digital camera working again,, so I'll be uploading pictures of the trip down and the work at La Voz Lenca as it happens.

We're still casting around for funds to make the work even more effective. Folks who would like to help out with that can contact us at primarycommunicationsproject@gmail.com. Thank you!

Peace, Bill
