DL3TU - portable

EA8/DL2SFE

This trip dates back to 2004. I operated holiday style from a hotel room in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife.

Most of the QSOs were very relaxed and kind of rag chew. Besides making contacts I enjoyed studying propagation on 10m. Many beacons from EU, NA and SA could be heard. All in all it was lots of fun.

Operator's desk with an IC-703, running 10 Watts and the old K64 straight key.

The hotel management wasn't cooperative at all: No antenna outside the balcony was allowed. Thus I operated with a simple inverted V for 10 metres.

This impressive antenna farm would have added a few dB to my weak signal:

Thanks for the QSOs!
