Monaco (Zone 14): This contact with Laura was made on 10M CW during November 2001. Laura's QTH is shielded by mountains to the east. Her contacts with the USA are usually made via the long path, as this contact was. At the time I was running 100 watts to a newly erected 2 element quad and had no difficulty working her.
Monaco is a very small country in western Europe, bordering the Mediterranean Sea on the southern coast of France, near the border with Italy. The principality's mild climate, splendid scenery, and gambling facilities have made Monaco world famous as a tourist and recreation center.
