Story 14DX/03001R
















Story from 14DX/03001R activity.


After a short night at the home of family members who live 30 minutes from the island, departure 6:15
(4:15 utc) on site when the barrier is not yet open, I take some pictures until the guard comes open.
There is a campsite on the island and access is limited. I ask the guard if i can park my car on the island.
I explain the concept of islands festival, he's OK but only with car whip antenna and next to his house.

I sit and turn the position, it is about 7:20 (5:20 utc) zzzzzzzz nothing, I start my first call and still nothing
it stayed like this for almost 2 hours from the time guard gave me another place and i can use the A99.

The propagation is unstable, 47DX101 John is the first contact, then some French and propagation close
again.... Then returned two hours later! It will remain very unstable, the last QSO with 1MRM Maria Rita to
1:10 p.m. (11:10 utc) then nothing, so I decided to go to 3:00 p.m. (13:00 utc).

I unfortunately could not be active on Sunday, the spread was much better...

Thank you all see you next year
