4. Report of the activity from SAZAN Island IOTA EU-169 - 18~23 December 2002
Lighthouse : WLHA "LH-0028" & "ARLHS "ALB-004"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After long and difficult procedures to obtain all the permissions by Albanian
Authorities, at last I (IK7JWX), Fatos (ZA1FD), and Florian (ZA5G), began to
compile the long lists of materials needed for the DX-pedition to Sazan Island
(EU-169).
All the work was made by exchanging a lot of E-mails.
On 18th of December 2002 in the morning we were at military port of Valona; in
few minutes all the heavy charge of materials was on the Albanian motorship,
ready to leave and cover the 9 miles distance to the island.
The first assigned site was very bad being located in a valley; fortunatelly
the day after "Battaglione San Marco" Headquarters assigned to us a new
location on a 354 meters high hill, although the rooms were completely ruined
and without frames; so the low temperature of that period was the only problem
we had during the activity.
Anyway after a multibands inverted "V" dipole, a Vertical multiband ECO and a
40 m band antennas with a Kenwood TS140, a TS680 and an Yaesu FT900 were
installed, at 14:15 UTC we were operative on 10 & 20 meters bands, SSB and 40 m
band CW, using ZA0/IK7JWX (op. IK7JWX) and ZA0IS (op. ZA1FD & ZA5G) call signs.
Many thanks to all the friends for taking free the frequency during our forced
"unfreezing" QRXs, and putting spots on dx-cluster.
The total score of expedition is : 4.804 qso.
ZA0/IK7JWX : 2180 (SSB)
ZA0IS : 1395 (SSB by ZA5G) + 1219 (CW by ZA1FD).
Sorry, QSOs could have been more, but the warming-up QRXs by day were a lot !
We should like to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Pandi Madhi, Mr. Gezim
Jashari, Major General Pellumb Qazimi and Commander Perlat Bylyshi, to the 28th
Naval Group of the Italian Navy (Durres) and Battalion "San Marco" (Sazan
Island), to Commander Siragusa, Commander Spinosa, Chief Tambolini, Chief
Alemanno and Chief Coppola, whose assistance was instrumental in making our
operation a success.
Special thanks to our sponsors Diamond DX Club, European DX Foundation,Eco
Antenne, Pietro Begali (I2RTF), MIDLAND, QSL Printed (IT9EJW), as well as to
DEOMST, I7PXV, IK7LMX, IOSBA, 425 Dx News (I1JQJ) .
73 to ALL de Team ZAOIS & ZAO/IK7JWX
