Hi all

A long time ago, 1982, I was in New Caledonia. Before operating my own call on hold, I was FK8KAA/P (later FK1SQ & FK0AQ).

I lived in the middle of the island near the town of Bourail and my first antenna was a long wire of more than 240m (long path to Europe).
I was lucky enough to be able to extend this length of wire. :+1:

Every evening I was active on the 40m Net of Eric ZL2AAG (SK) and with the 100w of my FT707 I contacted all of Europe (06h UT) with unequivocal reports.

A real pleasure but I was not on any summit :wink:
