We operate during the IOTA contest with special call sign OD5RMK for about 30 hours with two station, one barefoot in the contest, to which we attended as M/S DX pedition 100W and one with amplifier, both with vertical antennas. A total of 2903 qso are in log, 61% on CW and 39% on SSB, including 1553 in the contest on which we scored more than 611,00 points. More than 120 kg of equipment was transported from Italy. Locally Naim OD5LN provides for the power generators and the necessary logistic stuff such as tent, desks, chairs etc. After leaving the island we proceeded with our activity from Beirut city with one of the stations, mainly during the night, a further 949 qso are in log, most of them on CW. The propagation was in general very bad since a solar storm was in progress and the bands were often dead. The local noise made the 80m band not utilizable. Nevertheless we had a lot of fun and we thank all the friends who contacted us and all those who helped us in this DX’spedition.
