Mission "fridge", so again in KP51AT

Since Perseids 1998 I saw, that KP51 is still in most wanted list and after short planning I made little expedition to same place, now during Leonids 1999.

This time results was not so great, maybe reason that after Leonids I'm not made any MS qsos.  But let's hope that someday still qrv.

I went already 16th Nov to KP51at, because just didn't want miss maxim, just planned to be 144.155 hole time, so easier to change between cw & ssb in same freq. This time results was not great, just 3 litres beer, more hot tee. Temperature was hole time minus and backside of car was without isolation.  I had 2kw bottled gas heater, but for example my waterjug freezed over inside in car. So not greatest place to live 2 night...

Last day morning generator fall down and motor oils went out, => engine seized up....  Great end for this trip. But any case, some qsos also made, even I sleeped over the biggest maximum.....

All times UTC.
