My DX pal Gary has posted a You Tube video of our March DXpedition to
Jongensgat at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LBJUoyyN0w

On it you can see the magnificent scenery and beautiful setting at
this remote coastal site and the two comfortable cottages we DX from.

Some highlights of catches are also noted including Japan which is
nearly 9000 miles / 14,000 kms away.

The report and full log of the DXpedition can be read at:

Have fun and good DX

John,
Great video! Just wish that I had that kind of setup. Here in Hobe
Sound, the cops close off the beach, which is one mile away around
midnight. Glad to see that the old FRG-7 was in use, how was it
compared to the Icom?
As usual, your posts are informative and enterntaining!
