Easter is over and we were safe home from Berlin/Germany.

Hi all..

Well Easter is allmost over and time for work again.. Pff..
Yesterdag i finaly got the G5RV wire up and running. It has been laying in the garage for a while now, and now was the time to get it on the roof of the house.

I maneged to install it as a inverted V. And is tuning perfectly in all bands from 80-10meters. beaming west and east..

My wife and me are also home safely from Berlin/Germany. I was listening on 555 all the way down there and also making several calls all the way.. But no propagation of what so ever.
Only when i was about 80km from Berlin a local station from Berlin (13AT322 Mr. Mike) answered my call.
I also had the pleasure to speak to him in Berlin also.
I was hoping to be able to install a antenna in the apartment we rented, but the balcony was clearly not useble for it and the antenna i brought from home did'nt work there, and i was stock with my mobile antenna from the window 15meters of the ground. But no propagation, only locals talking german on 555 FM.. Wird..

Allthough Berlin is a great city with many shopping opportunities, just ask my wife.. ;)
But hoped for better propagation, better luck next time... :)
On the way home to Denmark, i also had the radio on, and only got hold of 47DX002 Mr. Søren, after we got of the ferry in Rødby, who invited my wife and me to coffee on the way home, as we would pass him on the way home.
Tnx for coffee and Soda Søren.. :)
Well thats all for now...

Long time since last entry..

Hi all...

Wow havent been writing here for a long time.. Many things needed done and time just ran by. :)

Well season is allmost starting for the Sporatic e-skip in the summertime..
Cant wait anymore, its so quiet on the radio these days, and has been all winter.. The most quit one i can remember as operator on 11m..

Also in this entry i would like to announce that my wife and me has planed a trip to Berlin, and the trip is made by driving by car.. And ofcoase as a 11m operator i surely bring my radio and a ant.. Maybe also a base ant to work from the apartment we rented in southern part of Berlin.

Listen out for me from 6th to 9th of April. We drive from home at 8.00 in the morning danish time.
The drive down there is to take 6hours, so the 6th and 9th is traveling days on the road through Germany.
The call will be 13/47DX019 when we arrive to Berlin, and 47DX019/m and 13/47DX019/m on the drive down there..

Hope to hear something on the radio, but my hope isnt that high due to the lack of propagation these days...

Thats all for now, 73's freinds, and happy Easter days to all...
