13AT/BE039 IWI Schloss-Insel (Castle-Island) & COTA Schloss Köpenick (Castle Köpenick) – proof & log – 21-July-2018

This was a short excursion today :-(.

I went on air at about 11:30 UTC. First 10 minutes were quiet. I managed to get 15 stations in the log until at about 12:15 UTC park officers came along and asked me to remove the dipole, which I had mounted solely with light sailing cords between 2 trees in approximately 2.50m height. I tried to make them change opinion, but the insisted on removing it, telling me a small antenna on the ground would be ok, but my dipole would be way far to big!?! I am pretty sure some other park visitor must have complained about it, since last time I haven’t seen any park officer at all and lots of people passed by. However I logged 2 more stations – 18MU128 and 14DX019, since both of them already tried to catch me the other day and ended this days activity very disappointed.

13AT/BE039 IWI Schloss-Insel (Castle-Island) & COTA Schloss Köpenick (Castle Köpenick) – proof, QSL preview & log – 07-July-2018

This beautiful day has an end. Logs been digitalised, video proof has been compiled and QSLs been designed.

82 unique QSOs were established into 13 different divisions within 4 hours 50 minutes (10:30 – 15:20 UTC). The battery (34Ah) did an excellent job. I could have been on air a little longer, however propagation dropped and the park closes at 16:00 UTC, although the latter seems flexible.
