Story 14DX/27059R Story from 14DX/27059R activity. The Idea to see my friend Bruno 14DF1257 during July Holiday was fixed since a long time but why not make an Activation at same time. I make my way to Normandie via the French department 27 the French green Area, after 1h30 of autoway I meet 14DF1257 Bruno and 14HF207 Jerome at 08h30am for a coffee just at 1 km from the island. 09h00 we install the material setup are composed by an Icom IC 706, Amplifier R 603 +/- 400 W and Skyper Antenna at about 6.5m from the ground and two large Batteries, the temperature is perfect for an activation with 28 ° max. 09h20 first Call condition are low but 90° backscatter is open and we take in the log the maximum of friends, from 12h30 the condition are totally close, we turn the antenna at 320 ° a lot of time to find station by station. We was alone in the island during activation only one visitor Perfect Area to make radio. Was a very nice day under the Sun one more Island Kicked, now next one pls. Friendly 14DX020 Tomas, 14DF1257 Bruno and 14HF297 Jerome. return |
