This afternoon I landed in Praia and after a taxi ride to my holiday QTH, I can now say that D44EC is on the air. The first antenna I set up was the BigSignal Deltaflex. I made a few contacts on 15 CW, with good signals in Spain and the EU.
After a planned break to buy supplies, I resumed transmissions on 15 FT8. The other antenna and equipment won’t be operational until tomorrow. I’m currently transmitting with an IC-705 with 10W and the Deltaflex.
Right now, it’s pitch black in Praia, and I’m working 40m FT8, contacting stations in the EU and USA with good signals.
