Story 14DX/36055R










Story from 14DX/36055R activity.





Was 6:00 utc with -3c when left house for new target 36055R Mehun #2 island, need approx 1h30 hours drive from my home, highway was so quiet, pffff limited 110 Kmh and 130 kmh.

Finally arrived on island, found place I did look on geoportail.fr, quiet place, just saw a few joggers with dog, first job chek log/lat, second installing antenna and radio gear in the car, ready to give 1st call approx 8:00 utc.

Band sounding good via 90 deg, bs is up and down, its seems that callers hear me lower than I hear them, prop direction moving very quickly, i have to turn antenna from 90 to 270, from 120 to 310, fortunatly wx is very nice a bit fresh air but temp was between 4 in the morning to 14 in afternoon.

Prop was a bit lower from end of morning, but mabage to work a few more stations, was qrt approx 14:30utc with 101 stations logged ( 2 iwi's), 1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 19, 21, 26, 27, 30, 31, 34, 43, 47, 56, 136, 161, 163 & 178 ).

Thanks all, see you so from next island.
