Arrival delayed:
It is not so easy to reach the islands:
Strong winds prevented the landing of our aircraft yesterday, and after two tries the pilot decided to return to Kopenhagen.
There is another chance this morning.
I see by your spots today that you managed to get onto the Faroes.
Any chance of a few contacts on phone please or are you only running CW on this expedition?
Hope all is going well and the weather is OK - I suspect it gets VERY windy up that way!

Ich sehe heute von deinen spots, dass du es geschafft hast, auf die Färöes zu Landen.
Gibt es ein Chance auf ein paar Kontakte auf SSB bitte oder willst Du nur CW auf dieser Expedition nutzen?
Ich hoffe, alles gut läuft und das Wetter ist in Ordnung - ich vermute, es wird sehr windig auf die Inseln!
Unfortunately my bag with most of my equipment (incl the microfon) was lost on the flight to Kopenhagen. So SSB will be possible only after the bag has arrived here - hopefully.
