Story 14DX/AT024





Story from 14DX/AT024 activity.





Starting out at 4:30 GMT from my QTH, Madame island is 70km and 1hmin by car. Arrive on site at 5:30 GMT and the tide already high, the passage between the mainland and the island that call "pass oxen" should be covered at 6:30 GMT but apparently the tide is advanced. So I wait 20 minutes because the passage is covered.

I install the hardware and I run my first call and QSY 27.510mhz 5:55 GMT, the first in the log is 26DX047 Darran, first contacts are shy, spread is close. 9:20 I stop 30 minutes because I have two friends visiting amateurs F4DTO Franck and Patrick F4GFE living in region.

10:00 GMT resumption of contact calls and connects to 10:50 GMT. In total 83 QSOs on 15 DXCC (26-14-102-47-108-13-30-1-161-21-31-19-3-16-108) and 11 members of Delta-Xray Very surprised how many QSO since the island had already been activated last year.

73 de..Romain.
