SV5/OE1ZKC DX vacation in July 2003
After 2hr flight from Vienna, we are arriving Kos Island just before dark. | The approach was finished just after dark. |
I was disappointed when I realized our hotel is located on the southern foot of a mountain... Tough location to north... | Our hotel has a nice swimming pool . Cool. |
The view toward south from the room. Great view. I wish it was north... | |
View toward East. The coast of Turkey can be seen |
|

|
View toward north. My radio wave needs to climb this mountain. |
Another view toward north. |

|
Very compact set up of radio. It is capable of four modes, SSB, CW, RTTY and SSTV (oops, and FM if you like) | Do you see the fishing rod fixed on the balcony ? |
I packed all of radio related stuff into the Pelican 1600 case, including an antenna and coax. Though it is a bit large, you can pack in one, and check it in air plane. | All of radio stuff. Radio is packed in the Pelican 1600 and the fishing rod for vertical. |
Excursion to the town of Kardamena, nearest town from the hotel |

An old man selling vegitable. |

Another Excursion to the old Kos town. |
