Overcast and rain in the Mediteranian. I guess I brought in New York weather? So glad I got a taste of Summer in Ohio last week.
Local Restaurants
Massive breakfast buffet, no bagels or cream cheese. And sure as hell no smoked salmon. You can take the boy out of NYC, but try getting the NYC…
Weather report today: 80% chance of rain and a high of 69F.
My sore throat is now a full blown head cold. Luckily the Farmicias here have good shit and not whimpy like the USA. I slept almost all day yesterday.
Going to try to make some contest QSOs now or go back to bed.
It’s rainy, I have a cold, the contest is not going very well…steak and beer time.
Almost everybody speaks English here. That’s not helping me practice my Spanish.
A dozen pubs in a confined area. Might be worth another visit later?
People from England and Scotland think I’m funny. But, I don’t understand a bloody thing they are saying.
Wow! The sardines are particularly salty tonight.

EA6/WJ2O QSL Card
QSL produced by: Cheap QSLs QSL Via: Ken, N2ZN
With the understanding of how the CEPT Licensing Agreementworks, I assigned myself the callsign EA6/WJ2O.
Wow, that was exciting. First time ever using 6 meters on one of my Mini DXpeditions and had a small run!
My beautiful balcony arrangement. Top floor, 8 stories. Too bad I’m pointed South with a mountain separating me and Europe. I chose hotel poorly.
Actually making 10 meter QSOs into Mainland Europe from EA6. I guess that gives hope for the weekend contest?
Traveling to Mallorca
First I get to drive to NYC and visit my friend Steve, N2AJ. We had lunch at the Pastrami King in Merrick, NY.
Next I fly across the Atlantic to Madrid and quickly switch to a flight right into Palma Mallorca.
The airport on this island is like everything else here, modern and clean. Pringles for breakfast? Yeah, sure, why not? My first flight will get me to Madrid.
Hello Europe. I arrived too early for the room to be ready. I really need a nap. Ok, let’s drink Mahou Clásica instead.
They didn’t leave without me. Madrid bound.
