Its a long way to north Grenada but worth it ! Arrived monday, setup suitcase vertical in he garden and 10/15 dipole in a friendly palm tree, and 80m L
on wednsday. Not very high wires but nice views! You can see Pompey on a clear day hoho..Amazing views from a cottage overlooking the Atlantic about 200,’ up.This cottage recommend by Iain G4SGX and Bob is great site to VE and UK with a garden and NO noise, electrical or sonic…
Conditions as expected were poor till saturday pm, thanks to all who listened for repeats at 12 wpm, eg 3B8XF and most G s on 80m….80m was ok to VE at the start , VE7 s, but not good to UK, usually work Chris GM6XX ok but he could not hear my100w and L …but moving up the bands found 10m poor too. I , managed 20 hours operating and finally some runs to G VE on 20m and 40m…as expected 20 and 15 found VK and ZL early doors from here LP, always a bonus. But 80 was still poor on Sunday at 4am here, then working G on 40m also hard, but some runs, but 20 and 15m opened from 0600 to VK ZL and G for some later runs,. Again great fun and used BERU in honour of Bob PJT. Thanks to the HQ stations for being on 24 hrs, great job. Commiserations to Dom in C5 and Don in 5X who travelled far but had problems…it can be tough travelling , but xyl likes the sun !
Thanks to Stew GW6XX for running the BERU website , please post the reports again
