Evening activation of Everdingerwaard PAFF-0261

Purpose of this activation was to test a loaded 40 meter vertical of 7 meters long with 2 radials on a 10 meter Spiderbeam pole. I also brought a 5-band trusdx transceiver, being curious how it would behave on a band with strong signals.

I was QRV around 18 UTC for 45 minutes and called CQ all of the time with about 5 Watts output. The results: 23 contacts with OM1AX being the best DX at 1050 km. One 2-way QRP QSO with HB9DAX and a park2park QSO with SP2BMX. Experiment successful!
