Story 30DX_E317 1 The story about activation 30DX/E317 (1): Tamarit island is located in a small beach, next to a magnificent castle and close to nice Mediterranean forests. The landscape is really nice there. Reaching the island is not a problem. A boat is not needed to go there, you can arrive just walking by the sand of the beach. Many local people doesn't even know that "that rock" is considered an island. Not much to say about the expedition. The weather was not good. It was cloudy all day and there was some rain for a few minutes. The propagation was also very bad. We expected a strong short skip with Europe because it was August, but we were wrong. The band was almost dead! Besides, most of the people was watching the football world cup final (Brazil - Germany). Our working conditions were: Kenwood TS-50 Bamby-11 antenna (1 elem. quad) Car battery In conclusion, we didn't choose the right day to make the activation and the results were extremely poor. Only 5 stations in log. As the access is not difficult, we will activate Tamarit island again and try to give everybody a second opportunity to get this island which is valid for the DIE (Spanish Islands Award) End of report Christian 401 Personal webpage of 30DX401 Christian. return
