Silvano has the container with the R5 antenna and the dolly with the 875a. marine battery and the Kenwood 570D. Adele has the mast, cable and the lunch! Operation began at 1726 UTC and ended after 2hrs because the boat was leaving early due to bad weather. 184 stations (90% EU) were logged.

In the rush to take down antenna, Adele fell and fractured two ribs!!

Two more attempts were made to operate there (April 28 and April, 29, 2001) but very poor propagation (A = 24, K = 7) allowed only 165 contacts in 4 hours of operation.

Note: No one is allowed on the island from sunset to sun rise.
