DCI - Porta Civica di Vallecrosia
Sunday 2nd September during the morning I worked a new DCI reference: IM154 Porta Civica
di Vallecrosia.
Vallecrosia Alta is located few Km from the sea side and, as many old Ligurian towns,
it was surrounded by a wall.
Porta Civica was, and still is, an entrance to the burg along the "Via Dritta".
I already was in Vallecrosia last year to transmit from IM121 Torre di Guardia, tipical
defensive building; this time I have found a place to install my antenna just up to the
town, well inside the 500 m.
I have not had problems to work together with a Field day in 40 m. while in 20 m. it was
very nice to have a QSO with so many European stations.
Propagation is poor since so many months, most of signals were very weak.
I have received a good support from spot on cluster.
Working condition as usual: vertical antenna 6 m. high for two bands home made, IC-706
+ tuner, battery 50 A.
A particular thanks to the DCI Staff for their work and for the support they gave me
during new reference research.
See you from the next new one.
Ciao, Gianni I1UWF
