MM0LON 2005

I spend my summer holiday 2005 with my YL Sabine traveling by car through Scotland.
This photo was taken about 15min before we reached the ferry to Skye. We are only 15m above sealevel. But it looks like if we are in real high mountains. This is the reason why it was so difficult to be QRV as MM0LON/m in Scotland.

YES, Sabine does only reach my shoulder, but remenber, she is 1,90m tall ;-)

(The picture was taking in July 2005 at our VHF Contest location in JO30em. On the way to our QTH I managed to make 8 contacts through europe on 20m and to listen to some DX Stations.)
