Visiting Azore Islands in July/August 2017

Hi Everyone,

I will be on the Azore Islands Terceira (CU3; IOTA EU-175) and Graciosa (CU4; IOTA EU-175) from the 25th of July to the 2nd of August 2017 and plan to activate all summits with the callsign CT8/HB9DPR/P.

I will be spotting via SMS or APRS where coverage allows.

I plan to take my sota equipment KX2 & Alexloop.

Cheers,
Tom, HB9DPR

Hi

Some infos about your SOTA references in Terceira and Graciosa Isl.

Terceira
The summits CU/TE-001 and CU/TE-003 are drive-in references.

CU/TE-004 is a close by drive-in summit but a walk around Monte Brasil park is a must.
From there we saw a large group of dolphins swimming near by.

CU/TER-002 is a very nice walk inside the island.

Graciosa

All summits have easy access and you should have nice views.
They are almost drive in (with a 4x4) but a walk is a must! :slight_smile:

If you need more info send me an email.

Hi Tom
Ok on your trip to the Azores, I am sure you will find the Island breathtaking, we were there back in 1989, visiting a radio friend that lives on Terceira, if you hear CU3AK Jaime say hello from me, also if you need any assistance Jaime will be sure to help.

Thank you very much for your information.
