47DX/SJ-013 Glænø (Glaen Island) activation report/story.

Hi all..

Well 47DX052 Mr. Tom and me had a great time on the activation..

So here's a short story from the day.

Tom 47DX052 made a visit to Carsten 47DX132 on Saturday and lent a
big battery and also a special antenna-foot for our trip, many
thanks for your help Carsten.

Sunday morning Tom 47DX052 arrived around 06:00 (GMT) at Henrik 47DX019, we loaded the car with all the equipment and drove to Glænø (Glaen Island). We used a half hour to set up the antenna and rig, on a fantastic location with great view over the sea..

We started working stations even before we had time to eat the brought coffee and breakfast.. :)) The first hour we made 101 operators in the log.. :) After lunch the propagation went a little down, but the band was all open, but no takers for us..





In all it was a fantastic day with very nice propagations and fantastic WX!! We even made some sunburn on arms and faces.. ;)

We ended the activation about 17:00 (GMT) and made the way home to 47DX019 Henrik's home, 1½hour later for coffee and small talk about the day...  
We worked 199 stations into 20 DXCC’s , we would like to thank John 47DX101, Darran 26DX047 and Leif 47DX054 for the support.. And also a big thanks to all the operators that worked us..
And ohh yea.. I nearly forgot.. We also had time for a break for some well known danish pleasure, icecreme. :)

From my side i would like to thank Tom for a great day!! :)

73's...
