Story from 13DX/TH001 activity.



Hi to all,

01.06. Joe 13DX024 unfortunately has to cancel his trip to the island. He must attend a meeting for his job.

04.06. 12:15 Wolf 13DX014 picks Uli 13DX056 up, departure at 12:30 for Raven Island.

04.06. 13:20 Arrival on the island. 13:35 Dieter 13BRC083 arrival on the Island, team complete.

Wolf 13DX014 is setting up the radios and starts preparing the cabel network. Dieter and Uli are getting the antennas up. After few testing, we decide to start with the Kenwood TS450S and the 3 element Skypper. Since propagation is great, we start the activation from Raven Island - 13DX/TH001

05.06 12:00 Old friend Krystian 161AT124 is visiting us, bringing good Polish vodka. Of course he is more than welcome to stay with us. Real Thuringian rostbratwursts, Bavarian beer and Polish vodka help starting a great party. We are having great conditions and change operators each hour while the others remain at the BBQ. Never ending propagation keeps the QSO rate going high.
The conditions were steady and many people entered the log.

22:30 there was a nice opening to Scandinavia and later to Iceland. The connection to 27DX/EU168 was constantly 5-9+20 we make some tests, reduced power to 10 Watts no problem in Iceland copy us.

06.06. 03:00 Band is getting silent. We decide to shut down and plan to get up early at 7am.

06.06. 07:00 Hmmm, only 13DX056 Uli is awake, doing the first QSO short after 7am. Naaah, still too early, back to bed!!

06.06. 10:00 Time to get up ... since it's been a loooong party, we decide to take down the station.

06.06. 11:00 Leaving the island, 13DX/TH001 is QRT!
