What a coincidence...??

Home for the first day... badly jet-lagged but happy.

Turned the radio on to "test it"..  and worked on a first call HD8A Galapagos:

DX expedition of Alex HD2A and Alberto HC2AQ are active from the Galapagos islands as HD8A for 4 days starting May 15th.

Now in retrospect I'm sorry that I did not take my little KX3 and did not try some operating.
