Lundy Island Activation SS14

Post by 2e0wmg »

2E0WMG/P Lundy Island EU-120 WAB SS14

Between 4th and 7th April 2015 I will be visiting Lundy Island for my fifth time, staying in the most remote property on the island some 1¾ miles from the nearest other buildings. I will be active on all bands 160m to 10m SSB.
My home for three nights is Tibbetts, which was built by the Admiralty in 1909 as a signal and watch station and used as such until 1926

I will be using half wave dipoles for 160m, 80m and 40m and a W3FF Buddipole for all bands 20m to 10m, the Buddipole may also be used for 2m FM & SSB as well as 6m SSB where I can convert it into a 2 element beam.

Tibbetts has no electricity so I am dependent on battery power, hence operating times will be limited and quite casual depending on mood and weather. I will likely spend as much time playing about with my antennas as operating, but I will try and follow the schedule below, outside of these times I may pop up anywhere.

All times are UK clock times (BST). UTC is one hour earlier.
