EA5/DL8JJ operating from a hanging tent on a Spanish island - EU-151


I came across this info from the DX World website today and I thought it was pretty amazing.

Emil, DL8JJ is operating as EA5/DL8JJ on the Penyeta del Moro island off the coast of Spain on the 7th to 8th of June 2025. The IOTA reference is EU-151. He's active on 10m to 40m on SSB & CW (mainly CW).

The island is tiny and it's only 2m wide and 6m long. As can be seen from the photo above, it's about 800m off the coast and it's about 20km south of Valencia.

The only feature on the island is a 5-metre high pole and DL8JJ is operating inside a tent hanging off the pole!


We often see radio amateurs operating in many different locations but this must be one of most unusual.
