Steel Schooner Gedania SP2J/mm Operation

/

SP2J/mm will again activate steel schooner Gedania operating in the northern Baltic. Search for me on 20m or 40m, I will try to be active more or less regularly (navigation duties permitting) between 14.08 and 22.08. Looking forward to hearing You all on the bands.

My previous activation from June ended with a round number of QSOs - I mean zero - unfortunately the power supply produced a decent amount of magic smoke and ended its life. We tried our best at tapping the 24V from the ship's hotel supply but with limited parts, we were unable to proceed with the activation. Buying a small battery in Sweden at the price of a proper Begali paddle was not a reasonable option and I had to surrender.

This time however I have twice the length of silver-tape and twice the hunger for QSOs. Hope to hear you on the bands 73 Mike.
