Le Moulin (Sark) Activation

Hey all

I am currently sailing from Guernsey to Sark to activate GU/GU-001 on 10m-60m (dependent on band conditions). I’ll be here all day and expect to be QRV this afternoon for at least an hour. It would be great to work you :+1:

Time is dependent on making landfall etc., but chasers can track on APRS.fi (search M1HAX*). I should be able to self spot via LTE but that’s TBC. Using KX2 with long wire (SSB only).

Nice tub! :star_struck:

I was out doing POTA this afternoon but didn’t catch you. Bands seemed to be a bit all over the place (for me at least). Did you do any /MM?

Ah that’s a shame, I did work everybody I could hear. 40 metres was particularly bad this afternoon.

I did do some maritime mobile out in the channel, working about a dozen stations including a very happy POTA activator, and summit chases with IK6BAK/P and OE3DBX/P. I hope to do some more /MM on the return crossing late on Monday night.

Ah no way. Yes, 40m was absolutely trousers today. I just went with ye olde faithful 20m in the end.

Got a couple of SOTA chases in. @OM8ATS and @F4IHG /P both up on summits and they get their park hunter points too!

@IK6BAK Eliseo is a regular in my logbook. Great chaser and hunter! Nice work getting him in your book today!

I’ll add you in my Ham Alert and hopefully catch you on the voyage back. Maybe/MM on 2m or 70cm if there’s a dollop of lift on? I got a /MM on 2m last week in the Irish Sea. Does your tub show up on AIS?

Safe travels and bon voyage. Enjoy!

I should be /MM again late this evening for a little while depending on the weather, but won’t be 2m/70cm, most likely 17m/20m. I’ll self spot to DXHeat using a Starlink terminal. 73!

I heard a station from Slovenia make contact with you earlier on 20m but was unable to hear you.

But managed to make contact with you as M1HAX/MM on 40m.

Have a safe rest of the journey! :sailboat:

73, Robert
