Due traffic problems, I had to defer the planned activation of IE-0256 Castlemartyr. Instead I went back to IE-0028 Maralogue Wood again and had some fun there for an hour and a half. Due wet and breezy weather, I had the place to myself for most of the time. I logged 40 contacts on 20M SSB & CW, including a few trans-Atlantic. Conditions were better than the previous weekend but were still sub-par. I’m getting used to the /T setup now, though I still need to sort out ergonomics for CW operating. I’ve also made a first attempt at adding 40M to the 20M GP antenna by turning it into an inverted L. I must test that out at base before taking it on an activation.
