Canada from Punta Fiateira Rear Lighthouse (VO1TX)

I have just received this nice eQSL for a QSO with Canadian station VO1TX on 20m SSB when I was activating Punta Fiateira Rear Lighthouse together with EA1HNP (José Luis). That was a short but very fruitful activation.
Christopher has been a licensed Radio Amateur since April 19, 2000 and he volunteers as a Certified District Emergency Coordinator( ARES) for The Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland.

Activating Punta Fiateira Rear lighthouse (SPA 293)

Last Friday I joined José Luis (EA1HNP) in the activation of a lighthouse in the vicinity of A Coruña.
It is called Punta Fiateira Rear and together with its Front counterpart (380m away) is used to indicate the entrance in the port of A Coruña.
I made 12 QSOs on 20m SSB, all of them with North America (the US and Canada) in just 15 minutes. This gave me 2 new validly confirmed states for my eWAS award.
