Getting ready for activation of "Ilha do baleal" (Baleal Island) counting for Fortress and Castles of Portugal diploma (just don't know at this time when will happen).

I was recently (7/2003) at IOTA EU-040 (Berlenga Island) for a underwater dive trip but did not took the radio with me.
Berlenga is a small island in the Atlantic ocean at about 11Km from the city of Peniche (were I lived) in central Portugal.
The island is about 90Km south from Leiria (my QTH), 90Km North of Lisbon and 12Km SouthWest from Baleal Island

Here are some photos:

I was also at other islets belonging to the Berlenga island group:
ES-05 Ilheus das Estelas
ES-06 Ilheus dos Farilhões
ES-07 Ilheu de Fora

Next time I will take the radio and a small antenna to make some QSO's
