Björnö Naturreservat / Nature Reserve SMFF-1037 Flora Fauna

Björnö Nature Reserve at Ingarö 30 km east of Stockholm, is a very nice recreation area by the sea. This area is part of the Stockholm Archipelago and can be reached by car or bus via a bridge. It was raining and very windy, but I had a good shelter. 

Björnö has very good walking paths and near coast tracks. There is a very nice sand beach just a 10 min walk from the parking. If you go a bit further you have a tower to climb for a nice view. Potentially it can be used as one leg for your antenna.


I also visited the inland area Långviksträsk Nature Reserve SMFF-1054 and SMFF-6128 for some radio contacts in the Flora Fauna radio sports activity.  This area is an inland water area with very nice nature.

Using 7 Watt today to the long wire. The radio conditions was good and I had many nice contacts.
