I moved my base of operations today north to Tampere, Finland where I will be the rest of the week. I am having fun SWLing on the ham bands hearing all the call signs I drool over working from the states like they are next door... Because they are! Hanging out on the low end of 20 metres mostly, but I am hearing a lot of activity on 17 metres as well.
Not much antenna to work with (about 8-10 metres of wire) but having fun in OH-land. I will be sure to bring along a QRP rig next time I come to Europe and give those fun airport security folks something to quiz me about.
Good morning Jeff, Last year my wife and I ventured to England for a month of holidays. I took my Elecraft KX1 along for the ride. I was VERY surprised how easy it was to get through security! I was upfront with it and carried the rig in a Pelican case. I opened it and showed them and was always was able to take it as carry on! Have a great time in OH-land.
