Madeira  11.03.-08.04.2010   holiday and radio operation
     QTH: 11.-25.03 hotel Royal Orchid in Canico de Baixo,    25.03.-08.04.2010 hotel Tropical in Canico de Baixo
Equipment: TRX IC-7000 and tuner AH-4, antenna GP-KWF (vertical 7m).
Since July, 2009 CT9 is the main prefix for Madeira. It provided for more pile up than expects. The hotel of Tropical allowed a room "friendly to aerials" to us, so that we could continue our radio activity after the propagated period. Fortunately, there were actually usable openings of the 12-m band, so that we can await the next trip to CT9 in
March / April, 2011 optimistically.

It is a new experience over and over again to have radio contacts from Northern Europe - one must be content with less QSOs.

 QTH: Landal Aelderholt , Province Drente, JO32IT 51FN - Rig: IC-7000 with tuner AH-4, antenna GP-KWF.
 With a vertical antenna get somewhere most distances better than, e.g., with a dipole. QSOs with the outlying areas of Europe was easy.

Unfortunately, the optimism resultant from the better QSO result from March, 2008 towards in 2007 been not confirmed. However, there remains hope for improvement of the propagation terms next year.
