In Europe for some work and some fun. While I am not here for POTA, I certainly have gotten some in. I have activated one park each in The Netherlands, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Sweden and Norway to earn a 10 badge on the DX Activator award. I had previously already activated in The Netherlands. Band conditions were good until Saturday when they turned horrendous. Had intended to do voice, but that was impossible from Sweden and Norway and really could only get anything on 30M digital. Did get the activations done though.

Equipment for this trip was an IC-705, Packtenna 29’ EFRW mostly and some with a Chelegance MC-750. Used my AH-705 tuner with the EFRW, all at 10W.

Had a lot of great food; Indonesian in Maastricht and some celebratory sushi with my XYL in Oslo. Now in Italy where I have to work on Monday then a few days of playing tourist before finally heading home. I actually will not be activating in Italy. Just no time on this trip!

Thanks to all the hunters! 73 de AD0AA. Not listing all the prefixes here!
