Story 14DX/78059R
Story from 14DX/78059R activity.Departure from the house 04:30 to be on the spot and join Romain has 05:30 on the island of Limetz. Arriving on the spot we take our time to find the place ideal, with the weather to announce we decide to assemble the station close to an old laundrette to be used as shelter from the rain, it will be better than to remain all the day in the car. Once all to install we take the time for a quick coffee while listening the Transceiver, prop does not seem favourable. 07:30 we launch the first appeal, not surprise 14GT078 Fabrice enters the LOG the first, cheater he lives only 2 km from the island ;-) For the morning have does not have too much has to complain about the propagation because finally have advance all gently but surely, it is better than our last exit and that reassures us. Team is happy when 156AT011 Nicolas calling the Serious Team for enter ITL. In the previous week prop in late afternoon was very strong with all Europe with signals like local stations, we decide to remain later that usually, to take our time, and to try to benefit from the same openings, as by chance it never came :-( Our last contact is done at 15:50 47DX109 Jesper, we insist until 16:45 with any contacts more over, then we stop activation for the day, have to test it did not come, damage… Rain almost all the day, but finally a little luckier at the time of dismounting equipment. One day with very little propagation, and very sporadic, is necessary to be fast to enter the LOG, the signals are good but of short time. We are nevertheless happy with the result, the Team can amuse well for the hollow long periods lol. By hoping that the propagation of summer will be quite present for next activation.... Stop activation with 80 operators In The Log from 19 DXCC: 1.3.4.13.14.16.18.19.26.30.31.34.43.47.56.156.161.173.328 Tnx to all for your participation, sorry for others stations not logged, not easy again this time with this conditions, see you soon in June for a new activation IWI island, again one new one in 11 Meters Band. The Serious Team. 14DX010 Olivier & 14DX064 Romain. return |
