Story 14DX/36080R






Story from 14DX/36080R activity.


Hi all, for 2015 i will try to do more as possible iWi, there are some to approx 1h30-2h drive from home.

First targets found 36-080R and 36-058R, date was fixed to Friday 30th January, (sorry still not easy to got enough free times over weekends). Will do my best to be active over weekends?

All radio equipment was in car and i go was approx 7:30 utc, after almost 140 km, am arriving into Surins where there is Grand Pres island, neighbout to Surins island. I realized quickly that will be difficult to find good location to use skypper, only possible to park close to the road, so i started with mobile antenna was approx 9:00 utc, prop was not too bad but with only 70 w and mobile whip was sometimes difficult, so after almost 1hour i decided to use A99, there was big traffic on road and all look at me but A99 did improve signals (43, 153, 97 div logged) finally around 11:00 utc i did change location for target #2 :36058R Villedieu isl.

Just few km away arrived to Villedieu sur Indre, this time good enough place to use skypper !! antenna and mast was quickly erected and was time to start 14DX/36058R. Skypper do the job on the band and against wind.... then after 4 hours 92 stations logged (1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 13, 14, 19, 26, 34, 35, 47, 56, 108, 136, 141, 153, 161, 196 div). Time to back home 73s all see you soon from next islands.


Important:

A little river (La Tregonce) cross villedieu island but is not same river so no count as 2 island, also look on front of panel island, its only 1 big island.
