Story 47DX/NK001 Story from Anholt Island DXpedition. Our journey to Anholt began from my QTH on Friday, September 25th at 9:00cet. After a three-hour drive, we reached the Grenaa ferry terminal, and the ferry departed for Anholt at 15:00cet. Following a three-hour crossing, we arrived on the island around 18:00cet. On Saturday morning, September 26th, I began assembling the Skypper antenna, mast, and guy wires. The coax cable were routed through Birgitte’s bedroom and into the kids' room, which served as my bed and radio room for the next 5 days. Setup did not go entirely as planned; the Skypper was mounted too loosely on the mast and spun uncontrollably, causing a 1.5-hour QRV delay. Since Susanne and Birgitte (the ladies, who I rented the cottage together with) had already left to explore Anholt on foot, I had to lower and raise the antenna again all by myself. The fix was extra layers of electrical tape, which luckily held up perfectly for the entire duration of the DXpedition. However, already the following day (Sunday), the antenna had to be taken down again. The WX forecast predicted heavy winds for Sunday evening and overnight into Monday, with gusts reaching up to 70 km/h. Since Anholt is a small island of just 22 km˛ located in the middle of the Kattegat sea between Denmark and Sweden, the winds are much stronger there than on the mainland. Propagation conditions were poor on the first day and unfortunately did not improve during my five days on the air. As a result, only 126 stations were logged in total across 24 different DXCCs. Approximately 25 % of the logged contacts were Danish stations worked via groundwave, which clearly indicates how extremely poor the conditions were. Nevertheless, I was lucky enough to catch a few great DX contacts, including Australia, Thailand, and Argentina. USA was also heard, but unfortunately, did I not manage to complete a two-way contact. Day 6 (Thursday, October 1st) was spent writing 4 direct postcards and hiking around the island to visit a local WWII memorial and the highest point, Sonderbjerg (48 meters above sea level). Susanne took some photos of me there as proof of my presence on the island. We also did some shopping at the local supermarket (Brugsen Anholt) and kept the receipts, which serve as further validation of my island visit under DXRC guidelines. On Friday, October 2nd, we made our return journey. The ferry back to the mainland departed at 7:50cet, and we were safely back home by 15:15cet. A huge thank you for the support to Finn 011, Darran 047, and John 101 for the propagation checks, which resulted in a new DXCC in my log with two contacts into Argentina.
