Madeira CT9

Activation Reports Pre-Planning
1

Helen and I are having few days on the Island of Maderia. New call prefix for both of us, CT9. Alerts and spots will pop up when we’ve actually decided on the order we will attempt activations :slight_smile: Both of us should hit milestones whlie here.

20/17m will be primary bands but can also easily do 15/10m depending on propagation and how much time we hang about on the summit.

For those who worry about travelling with kit for SOTA I was flying out of Birmingham airport. The bag containing my '817, amp and batteries was pulled out of line after scanning for a further check. My Li-Fe batteries were swabbed, no fuss was made.

That’s a lovely summit and not overcrowded by the Peak baggers who infest some honeypot Summits in Madeira
