Due to COVID-19 restrictions on crossing the Danish (OZ) border for foreigners, there's no chance we can get our tickets usable.<br />

<br /></div>
We have no guarantee at all, that we will be allowed to get on a
Ferry, as for now only Danish citizens, their relatives and foreign
workers with appropriate documents can cross the OZ border.<br />
Unfortunately
for us, Danish government did not mention anything about chances to
entry Denmark for persons who have bought Ferry tickets to sail from
their territory.<br />
<br />
Hard decision has to be made to ~ POSTPONE ~ our Iceland Trip until next Year 2021.<br />
<br />
All Paypal transfers will be soon returned to the donors, or secured on demand for next Year.<br />
Please contact me at sp7vc(at)wp.pl if there's any PP address change.<br />
<br />
Hope to see You in 2020! 73 & Stay safe everyone !<br />

In 30 days of this amazing Scandinavia trip I was active from
22 different squares, both 50 and 70MHz, including 12 IOTA
islands in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.<br />

Of course it wasn't my last and only trip. Another one probably known by 6&4m grid chasers was "Balkan Tour". So until now my grids square count activated by me is 84as below.<br />

This Year we have to celebrate few special occassions with another great radio trip - first and most important is my 10th Anniversary being a couple with my beloved <span style="color: yellow;"><b>Kate SQ7OYL</b></span>, my irrepleaceable driver, logistician, and motivator. The second -this will be my <b><span style="color: yellow;">100th DXCC</span></b> country visited during my trips.<br />
<br />
During "Scandinavian Trip" were traveling with our "Skoda" car, packed to the last piece of free space :-) - including roof :-) <br />
