Comments:
TNX Pekka, EA8AH (OH1RY) for the opportunity to use his nice QTH and station.
The QTH is on the Northern part of Gran Canary island, on a mountain ridge at
28 38' 48'' North & 15 38' 11'' West, in case you'd like to look it up in
Google Earth. The elevation is 1400 ft above the sea level. The land slopes
deeply toward the Atlantic ocean with a clean shot to North America. One could
not wish for a better location in Northern Africa.
Antennas:
160: Inverted-V at 85 ft
80: 2 el wire beam at 70 ft
40: 3 el wire beam at 70 ft
20: 4 el yagi at 50 ft
15: 4 el yagi at 45 ft
10: 4 el yagi at 40 ft
Beverage, 600 ft long
The antennas are not very high above the ground but they are close to the edge
of the mountain ridge.

As seen in the Summary table, 10 was dead. 15 was also poor with mostly weak
signals and very few West Coast stns coming through. The bad propagation was
also obvious on 160 with difficulties to reach West Coast.
We can't rival the guys operating from the Caribbean. However, unlike them, we
can have a good 4 hours sleep on both days, with all 6 bands being closed to
NA.
