In the end of August EI6DX will be operating from Canary Islands and will look to activate 2 of the National Parks in Fuerteventura. If all goes well, I will hopefully be giving WFF African entries (EAFF-063, EAFF-065, EAFF-195) to the programme chasers. This year I am planning to go to the Lobos Island as well.
QTH: St. Kilda, Monach Isles (EU-059, EU-111), June, 2011
St. Kilda expedition is over. It was an excellent trip and an adventure. 12.000 QSOs were made from Monachs and St. Kilda and all operators are now back home. We were really lucky with the weather. The sea was calm during the trip. Night shifts were very tough with rain and cold throughout. Full story of the trip is available here. All operators are now back home without major injuries. Ramon had a bad fall on the last day and broke his arm, he is in the cast but is recovering fast. QSL cards have been designed and are now in the print.
