Pictures are up of the YW5AS Aves de Sotavento DXpedition (http://www NULL.hfdx NULL.com/Aves_Sotavento/sotavento_en1 NULL.html)– and they are pretty cool. There’s a bit of narrative that goes along with the web site as well.
It was a pleasure to see the use of all of the verticals right there on the salt water beach as well. As you know, the combination of vertical antennas and being located on the beach makes the vertical a powerful antenna.
And, as a side note, I am continually amazed at the quality of Google Earth — and how so many DXpeditions now are using it as part of their planning.
Hat tip to DL6KAC (http://ham-blog NULL.de/radio-blog) for the link.

I really like the concept. It allows me to really see where the water is, where the station would be and what the takeoff angles would be for different continents.
Pictures are different then maps and a picture, in this case, is better then the map.
