[HCDX] Loggings from Atlantic coast of Portugal
During a stay on the Atlantic coast of Portugal (NW of Lisbon) a couple
of days ago, I managed to catch a few stations. Reception conditions
were excellent due to little manmade interference and due to the
proximity to the Atlantic Ocean (my aerials - some 30 and 70 metres of
wire each - were "erected" on the edge of the high cliffs down to the
Ocean). I was using my AOR 7030 Plus but didn't bother to bring my MD
for recording the DX catches - so many of the stations heard remained
unidentified. A pity - but I really didn't expect to find such excellent
DX'ing opportunities.
