QSY from Santorini Island KM26 to Crete Island KM15
28.05.2022
As I can stay longer in the house until the ferry goes to Crete Island I`m
able to operate 29.05.2022 in the early morning hours again for some
time.
Means I operate 02UT on 144.165 MHz in MSK me always in 1.period.
Last chance to get KM26.
SV8/DK5EW worked maps

Have been 1.5h QRV then power fail in whole area. In this 1.5h I had not a single caller so
guess KM26 is not interesting anymore.

Arrived today in KM26ri. As you may read before my origin QTH was canceled by host and I had to search urgent a new one. This new QTH is far as good as the 1. one if
not to say it is worse. Blocked in several directions except moonrise east to south. For EME with this low elevation it is nearly blocked to moonset west.
Tomorrow I will setup the antennas and check the conditions. If you are able to work me in any case you should be happy about this super rare square. I will give my best.
13.05.2022
All RIG is final tested and ready for packing. PA was tested last 3 month without any issue.
03.05.2022
Accommodation at Santorini was canceled today by host without reasons.
Found another one in KM26RI but I don’t know how suitable this QTH is for EME and if it is possible to do radio operation. I will check it when I am on site.
