Sardinia Island is my dreamy qth
for holidays: beautiful white sandy beaches, clean and crystal clear sea, fine
wine, friendly people and a good spot for radio too...
This year I chose to visit the southern east side of the island and set my
/p qth on the Cape Carbonara promontory, surrounded by the see on three sides.
I operated mainly CW on HF ,6m ond 2 mt with my trusty FT-100 and a new portable
multiband antenna just built for the occasion. Prapagation was only average on
HF with few DX ouside EU, nice on 6 meter and mediocre on 144 Mhz, anyway
as always I enjoyed so much the radio side of the vacation, and I hope to
be there next year for more activity...
