Story 14DX/23024L
Story from 14DX/23024L activity.After a few setbacks in the SOUTH - EAST during my vacation, I had to cancel two activations of 3 (1 IOTA and iWi 1) I decided on returning home, to activated an iWi. 23024L Le Mas has already been activated in 2009 but I thought it might be interesting to go back as four years ago, I had not made more than 50 contacts. I would be active August 14 at 6:00 am (utc): The sun is shining this morning but the temperature in the car thermometer shows 11c, it is 4:45 am (utc), the material is loaded into the car and head towards the village of AHUN to 10 kilometers. There are some fishermen who greeted me on my way, it takes 10 minutes to walk with all the material, 10 more to install the station. I launched the first call is about 6:15 am (utc), the band is quiet, I took some pictures, propagation will be very changeable throughout the day with more downs than up, the batteries summers strained with almost incessant calls (especially in the morning), a few surprises in the afternoon 14DX010 5/9, 3DA012 small but very audible, after an hour of silence and umpteenth round lake walk I fold station. 73s all de 14DX181 Marc return |
