G7GGW - Making sure the world is my oyster!

I went for a walk with my wife yesterday along the beach at L'Escala. I have a habit of keeping an eye out for antennae and at the beach I saw this one. Imagine your favourite tourist location being equipped with an antenna that you could use for a quick bit of radio action! I was all excited but then my heart sank when I noticed that the coax had been cut. The antenna was abandoned with just a bit of coax flapping in the wind. It made me slightly sad :-(

I'm currently on vacation in Spain.  I've been able to string up a 23m long random wire into a balun and am currently running FT-8 as EA3/G7GGW. I've been heard from Japan to Chile with my FT-891 running 25W with a LDG Z100 plus tuner. I've also made antennas for 6M  and 2M based on instructions here https://vk1nam.wordpress.com/6m-sota-antenna/ from VK1NAM's website so thanks to him for posting that. The antenna is attached to a 6M long carp fishing rod from Decathlon that compacts down to about 40cm when travelling and costs about 17 euros to buy. There is some activity on 6M and I have been received at a distance of more than 2000km!
