We take the ferry from Hanstholm (Denmark) to Faeroe Islands on April 21. There is a short stop on OY planned on April 23 from 0600z to 1700z. It is not confirmed yet that I may leave the ferry with my car but it looks pretty good. We then leave Faeroe and arrive at Iceland on April 24. The EME conditions are ok on April 24, 25 and 26. I will try to be QRV on these days from 1800z until 2100z. Depending on weather conditions I will use the yagi or the 1.8m dish. We are going to surround Iceland within one week and leave TF on May 2.
