Early 2008 my girlfriend booked a holidaytrip to another EU IOTA island. I have to admit Kelly supports my hamradio hobby.
In return I only had to pay the trip  hihi. After activating SV8, EA8 she agreed on a trip to EA6. This year we left the 28th of
May for a 9 day stay. We rented a bungalow in a resort called tropicana ***, its located at the south-east side of the island.  The bungalow itself was located  20m ASL and 200m from the beach.
Last year I learned I'd better had my own fisshing pole with me to support the antenna, so I took the 12M (36ft) pole from dx-wire which did a great job.
This year I had a G5RV instead of a FD3 I usually use on a trip. There were easy to climb lightpoles available to support the legs of the G5RV.

Conditions were not that good, so I concentrad on the lower bands like 30, 40 and some 80M. EA6 is not a rare country, but had some nice runs on 40 cw.
I operated holiday style, so only in the evening, about 2 or 3 hours a days with some days of no activity at all.
At the end I had about 500 QSOs in the log. 75% CW, 10% SSB and 15% PSK.
Thanks again for the contacts, you QSL card will be answered, Kelly is working on that topic.

P.S. see what nice lightpoles they have in EA6, the are all hamradio compliant/support climbing.
