30DX/E062 - El Sortell Island




Welcome to the information page of 30DX/E062 El Sortell Island

This page is mainly made to offer log-search, and general information.

After the 2008's failed first attempt by Soren 47DX002, Mette 47DX088 and Christian 30DX401 due to extremely poor propagation, the Invoker Team has decided to activate, without prior announcement, this island again in 2009 for the 2nd ISLAND FESTIVAL, hoping it to be a nice surprise for all the island chasers.

Story:
After the team's big disappointment in the morning for not being able to land on Formigues island again due to very bad sea conditions which made the attempt very risky, the team decided not to give up and try to activate another new one. So after 1 hour drive from the village of Llafranc we arrived to L'Estartit. Our intention there was to try to activate Little Meda island, but unfortunately we found nobody who wanted to bring us there...so we got another disappointment.
But we still wanted to hit the band with a new island, and the last chance, but secure one, was 1 more hour away from L'Estartit...at the village of Cadaqués on the Creus Cape. El Sortell island, a well known island, was waiting for us, this time with the perfect propagation...CQ CQ !
