It depends on what country you are visiting. I have had no problems with
the Caribbean countries that I have visited other than an occasional
question. One thing that really gets the attention of customs agents is
cardboard boxes, put your stuff in a suitcase or golf bag.

I am just getting ready to leave on my first mini Dxpedition and started to
wonder, and worry, how many problems will I face traveling with all sorts of
radio equipment and electronics?
For those that routinely make these treks either for contests or DXpeditions,
are you faced with grueling questions on why you have this equipment and
do you
have to explain the whole DXpedition idea. Should I expect that "I am
traveling
for pleasure purposes and will be using amateur radio while here" should
suffice? Of course having the necesary travel documenst and copies of radio
licenses goes without saying?
With contest and DXpedition season about to kick off, is there any other
travel
advice from the veterans out there.
