Pays de Retz |
FRANCE - South Britanny |
| A small piece
of land at the mouth of LOIRE river: Brittany in the NW, and Poitou-Charente by the South:
here's where we drop the bag after each overseas assignment. |
|
 |
| One of the most beautiful
resort of the french atlantic coast, no kidding! Mild climate, pinetrees, mimosa,
geranium, gorgious seafood like oysters, mushles, sardins, clamps ... |
|
Ham Radio is well represented locally by FRALA and ARRALA, REF-Union associates,
also by various club stations. |
Several well known DX or contest stations like F6CTT, F6COW, TM1C are within an
hour drive from here. |
| Pays de Retz
offers various EU-064 IOTA spots mainly activated in summer time (Yeu, Noirmoutier, Pilier
islands, ...) |
Also castles, lighthouses and windmills, ... are many around and give a chance to
activate (inter) national awards. |
|
|
| The enjoyable way of live has here a serious price
to pay to Ham radio: environmental regulations, either natural or historical, are real
constraints, and build an antenna farm a pure dream. |
| No matter really: we knew it well when we
purchased the house by the fall of 2000, and it has never been intention to rig anything
as large as 80 or 40 m yagis at this QTH :,) |
