Meteorscatter DX-Pedition to JP41UA - July 10-13, 2015
More than 15 years ago I had been operating 2 m MS from that location already,
but I thought it might be worth doing it again. This time I was accompanied by
Uli DK2BJ and Eckart DJ4UF, who were hoping for Es to work on the 6m and 4m
bands. But unfortunately the Es took a break, and very few contacts were made
on the weekend. Uli and Eckart stayed for two more days and managed some more
ES contacts then.

We made about 100 MS contacts, all in FSK, despite rather poor reflections.
We were surprised to see so many stations being interested in JP41.
One morning we also had a short Aurora opening.

Beside working Hamradio we also did some hillwalking, as the weather was
very nice except for a little rain on Sunday.
