161DX/P171 Story.






Story from 161DX/P171 activity.







Hi All,
On 16th of May we started after few months our 1st 2009 iwi activation.
Unfortunately after 3 hours with 4 stations in the log additional
unexpected tragedy - strong rain. Due this reason activation was
continued up to the moment when de-ass'y of our equipment was possible.

Very sorry - few stations during phone call or on cluster asked us to change
antenna direction - it was absolutely impossible with rain.

Sunday, 17th of May, next day on P-171 Grodzka island. Similar story on
the beginning but short openings to 47 div where as always the strongest John's
station. After 3-4 hours around 15 stations in the log, but during next 5 hours totally
181 stations logged - 20 divisions.

It was good decision to start this weekend, unpredictable propagation, first time
so fantastic pile up. Thanks to all for their patience, hope to hear you from
next iwi's, thank you Greg for possibility to use your Icom 756 Pro.
