I have just returned from a 16 day trip to Iceland with my wife. We had an amazing trip!
I managed to get in 5 activations, with a total of 241 QSOs (18 S2S). It was quite a thrill to work so many different countries and people that I recognize from the Reflector.
Thanks to all those who chased me! Also thanks to @TF3EK for going on an activation with me - we had a great hike and activation. It was a pleasure!
Below are a few photos from my activations.

What a BLAST, to bring so much of this together on your trip.
Maybe we’ll see you around the PNW when your budget can afford it!!!

Thanks Ken, and I will most definitely go to Iceland again some day. What an amazing place! We drove the entire ‘ring road’, so next time I will explore the highlands.
The only time I needed the bug net was in the area surrounding Lake Mývatn (which literally translates to ‘midge lake’). The midges in that area were the worst I’ve ever encountered in my life. They mostly don’t bite, but if you don’t have a bug net they will fly into your ears/nose/mouth/eyes and are intolerable. A few managed to get up my trouser legs and I had quite a few bites on my lower legs. I should have tucked my trouser legs into my socks =)
I posted a lot of photos from the trip on Instagram (gibbsjj).
The same goes for me too. My CW knowledge is still very limited. Also my 20 long efhw is actually unsuitable for 30m and tuned by the atu of the kx2.
I was all the more pleased when you answered my call.
