I operated from a cabin during a family vacation in the rural southern part of
Iceland, where I decided to haul the ham radio stuff along. Thought I'd have
the best shot at 160m-only participation, for the following reasons:
- Away from the urban noise
- Darkness is still prevalent at this time of the year
- Late night operating interferes the least with family activities.
Well, the score was sort of disappointing. Only 49 Qs is not that great
compared with what I have with a similar setup at home, in the middle of town
with lots of noise sources all around. And unlike most 160m efforts from home,
I did not manage to contact stations in the far western parts of the US and
Canada. Perhaps the proximity to the ocean (300m/1000ft) gives my home QTH an
advantage which I did not have here in the countryside.
Anyway, I still had a good time and look forward to getting back on the air
when I return home.
