Hi guys.
This weekend we will activate 137SD/DX. 11-13th May 2012
This is not a holiday station,it's only purpose is to give operators from around the world a chance to work and confirm with an excellent flag qsl.
It's something we've wanted to do for many years and we will try our best to be active for as many hours as possible.
We are taking a few antennas,the sirio 4000 which is on the jeep,an antron 99,a 2 element yagi and an 8 meter telescopic mast,
Radios are the yaesu ft857 and kenwood 480hx at an excellent location high up in the hills.
If this is a success we will return in the winter months and give outside of EU a better chance.
Anyone wishing to sponsor this activation please drop me an email with details and your name will be printed as thanks on the qsl card.

Max was very unlucky with poor propagation and with high mountains around made it just that little harder.
It was almost a waste of time to use 11m during that week with propagation so poor to my QTH.
Max has sent these pix to show you that his antennas were high enough
all the time in his locations
