Nordic Activity Contest from the Czech Republic

Inspired by OMs in the Czech Republic who were able to make QSOs with northern stations during the Nordic Activity Contest, I decided to take my portable rig and visit one spot near my home QTH. Unfortunately, the conditions were poor. I only heard two stations but was unable to make QSO with them. At least we started the portable season with grilled meat from a campfire 🙂
