Story 14DX/66001L
Story from 14DX/66001L activity.The island of Coudalere (IWI) has a few kilometers only my QTH holiday this year, and I wanted strong to do something this year by changing area, then I make the decision before starting from make 2 IWI, the island of Coudalere and the island of the Fishermen, big surprised while arriving on the spot I realize that I have to forget the wire of Bamby, I telephone immediatly to my father so that it me it sending, I do not come in holiday to make radio but I had so much has heart to activate one or two islands for the Group since the South of France :-) The date is scheduled with Darran has which I say thank you for his support and its assistance, the day is finally to arrive and in this Saturday 06/07/2013 I am irritated :-), I start from my QTH holiday has 07:30, it makes already 21°C I know that I will suffer with heat but I sink. Once on the spot and after having to mount the Bamby antenna I realize that the propagation is not present, I launch the first appeal is great surprise first has to put myself in the LOG is 14DX079 Merry, good news the propagation wants to open, unfortunately it is that of short time and I make all the contacts with a very large QSB, the signals are good but that during the space of a few seconds only. I would finish activation with only 35 people in the LOG, it is very little I am disappointed but on another side I know that the 35 people in the LOG are true hunters of islands then I am happy nevertheless ;-). At the beginning of after midday I was pleased to meet 14GT011 Rossend which is area and which came to visit to me on the IWI. Once set out again I again launch some appeals and always nothing, that calls in the vacuum, then I decide all to dismount has 15:30 Local and to return considering the heat which it made it was not the sorrow to insist, I would be better at the edge of the swimming pool with a good cocktail to refresh me :-). If I return in the region I promise myself to make the next island, but there considering the state of the propagation since 1 week, I prefer to benefit from my holiday with Madam and Thomas has who I say thank you also, to have to let me take a little time for my passion for the holiday periods.
