Hello all. I am actually a new resident in the Patzcuaro, Michoacan area. I came across this thread as I have just begun searching for hf radio enthusiasts in the area. I am very interested in setting up a basic rig at my home. While I have a set-up on my sailboat, I do not have any equipment at the house. I am wondering if any of you have experience with acquiring gear down here in Mexico. I am somewhat hesitant to simply order a radio online from the states, due to concerns of possibly getting lost while going through customs and perhaps a larger concern of the shipping company not being able to find my home - we are definitely off the beaten path. The Amazon Mexico drivers have been able to find us, but they do not seem to have any radios of interest for sale.
Do any of you have experience with being able to source this sort of gear down here? Also, do you know of any radio geeks in my more immediate Patzcuaro/Morelia region? Thanks for any help.
