De Ack & Gus, K4ECI - W4BPD
I'm not sure where he could have been refering to. He is pointing on the map to the Bay of Bengal area; possibly Andaman Islands, Bangledesh, Burma... My records show that before 1968, his last DXpedition was January 1966 to 4M5A Venezuela, 1966 MP4MAI Muscat & Oman. He did go out in February 1969 to 6W/W4BPD Senegal Republic, ZD3A Gambia, and several Indian Ocean spots. K8CX
