Uploaded by la3dna on Dec 13, 2009
We are on Dønna Island near the arctic circle north-west cost of Norway, the month is july 2009.
Started this hike just after midnight and used about 2 1/2 hours to the top. A hard trip with 15kg in the pack pack. Radio equipment I was using was the Icom IC-703 and the Buddipole multiband dipole antenna. Many nice contacts were made, among them was; VA7XX from BC Canada, a distance of 5845 km (3632 miles) all contacts were made with 5 watt output. 73's from LA3DNA Leif

Thanks for posting this Leif. My family came to the US from Donna Island in the 1870's. I hope some day I can visit it and see it in person. Awesome view from the top!
