Last 24 hours on Lord Howe
Posted on April 1st, 2009 · 23:51 UTC No commentsYesterday Kasia and I were at the local hill around 300 a.s.l. The view to the ocean, Neds Beach and the mountains was perfect. You are gonna see it on the photos we provide after we get to some decent Internet connection or at least when we get home. By the way – there will be a film available after we get to Poland as well. Speaking about climbing — Stan, Vicky, Tony and Maddalena has managed to get the tallest mountain on the Island — Mount Gower. It was pretty hard and they looked really really exhausted in the afternoon. We had a nice conditions to Europe this night. I was working on 80m SSB for couple of hours late night. There are couple of SP as well, dzięki! Thank you all for your efforts I hope that all of you managed to make QSO with us. We are getting closer and closer to the end of our lovely stay at Lord Howe Island. Last night was the last one we were active on air. We are going to put down all the rest of antennas today. There will be only one CW station on the air (40/80/160) no stations, we are QRT. Tomorrow we fly back to Sydney. Part of the team goes off the Island today. Weather is bit worse since couple of days. There is no such a great sunshine which colorized the island in so spectacular way. Strong wind, some rain and cloudy sky is what we have since then. But this is even better for us. Hopefully it will be easier to leave the island. Today we will be signing out some of the operators. We hope that it is not the last time we see each other. I am pretty sure that this expedition will be a beginning of some cross-continental friendships. I will do my best to get to the next dxpedition organised by Bill VK4FV and ODXG. We’ll keep you updated about our moves. The closest one is Sydney.
