Isles of Scilly operation

Starting on May 15th in the afternoon until May 23rd, a team of French radio amateurs led by Tony, F8ATS, will go to St Mary's, Isles of Scilly (EU-011, WW Loc. IN69UV).

On May 15th (2000z-2230z) they plan to be QRV from Penzance (WW Loc. IN79JX), and the Lizard Point (Cornwall) lighthouse (ARLHS ENG-068), both on 144 MHz (50W and 2x4el) and 40m (50W with battery and mobile vertical antenna).

They will board a boat May 16th which will take them to St. Mary's Island, Isles of Scilly (EU-011) and they hope to be active the same day, in the evening.

Between May 15th until May 18th, focus will be on VHF and up, using CW and SSB. On the other days the traffic will be shared HF and VHF and up, from St. Mary's Island (EU-011), and the Scilly Lighthouse (ARLHS ENG-146, LH-0408, WW Loc. IN69UV). End of the expedition on May 23rd, in the morning.
