The world’s best investigative online magazine for 27 MHz enthusiasts understands that police on the small Caribbean island, where Matt is busy undertaking a DXpedition adventure, seized his travel documents after supposed irregularities in the permit were brought to their attention by security personnel during routine checks.

Sources close to the Freeband DX fanatic say that Matt’s movements around the tiny NA Island are now governed by a small piece of paper issued to him by local authorities which limits the areas he can and cannot venture to. Obviously shaken up by the ordeal, Matt is said to be resting up within the confines of his temporary island residence, tossing up whether or not to cancel the visit and head home to the Mother Country or battle on.

Word has it that a run in with the law isn’t the only catastrophe to affect the popular DXpedition buff whose costly trip to the island is fast becoming more of a nightmare than an adrenaline rush of DX adventure. While working many stations from Europe one evening with his special QRZ 283/26DX021, Matt’s Heil headset malfunctioned mid QSO, creating a magnitude of mayhem amongst the pile up of operators eager to log his rare IOTA station and sending the DX hungry tourist into a tail spin.

In addition to his headset packing it in, Matt has also suffered from the dangerous effects of random electric shocks emanating from his transceiver. These sudden bursts of electricity are understood to be so severe that the 283 Division activity has been put on hold until a replacement rig can be located or the existing one fixed.
