Summer Flora Fauna radio activity during vacation in southern Sweden

This summer has been very nice. The weather has also been warm and sunny during the last couple of weeks. I have activated several Floara Fauna and Nature Reserve areas in the southern part of Sweden. This has been on Kulla peninsula and Bjärre peninsula in Skåne. I also radio activated a remote island in the archipellago outside Göteborg called Vinga. 

After a boat trip I made it to Vinga. Nice signals on 40m this evening and I had to run back to the boat to get back. Some minor equipment was wasted die to the quick department.
