Story 21DX/N001
Story from 21DX/N001 activity. Sweden 2020 N001: We were there for a week in Sweden 22.08. to 29.08.2020 and I thought it would be nice to activate 2 islands in Lake Femmen. The weather was very changeable at the beginning so it was not possible to go to the islands for the first few days. on 08/25 the forecast was favorable and we started around 09.00 UTC by boat to the island. The shore of the island was very difficult as there were a lot of large rocks and swampy areas. We decided to pull the boat on the firm ground of the island. and set up the equipment in the boat. We didn't expect that it would be so difficult to set up the antenna, as there are some trees on the island on rocky ground. After a few attempts to turn the ground spike it was successful. around 10:00 am I could start calling. After about 4 hours of activity when the weather changed, I decided to go QRT. The second island N002 was not possible because it rained most of the time. It was a new but good experience. 73 de Uli .... P.S. I don't want to forget to thank my friend Micha for his help. return |
