Islands

Katic Island (left) and Sv.Nedjelja Is. (right). Sv.Nedjelja means Holy Sunday. This is photo from 2004. when i was QRV as YT2A/LGT from Katic and YZ1SG/P from Sv.Nedjelja. On the top of Sv.Nedjelja at that time there were only remains of an old church.

Katic Island. In lokal maps it's listed as Hrid Katic which means Katic Reef. It was very hard to climb to the top. There are very sharp clifs.

After putting the antennas i was very tired and i had to jump into the sea for some time ;-) This is the begining of my activity from the island. I just made QSO nr.4.
