Denis Island Reef is well visible here. Denis Island lies in the north of the main islands, Alphonse to the south The distance between Denis and Alphonse is approx. 500km Approaching Denis Island, View thorugh the cockpit of the Air Seychelles Twin Otter plane. There are flowers everywhere on Denis.

Operating the IC-706MKIIG. For logging I use a tiny DOS PC (HP-200LX) that runs the free DOS version of Swisslog. After the trip the QSO's were entered into SWL for Windows and ARRL Logbook of the world.

 

Chalet 7 with the vertical. Unfortunately all buildings had steel roofs and the antenna was sourrounded by them. It still worked OK. The inevitable Denis Island sunset. To catch the plane to Alphonse we had to fly to Mahé with a Helicopter. 10Kg weight limit! Fortunately we were the only passengers...
The large island in the distance is Praslin. La Digue lies to the left of Praslin, Curieuse just in front of Praslin. The island in the very front is Aride. All these islands (like Denis Island) belong to the main group AF-024.
