The Man in The Iron Mask Island QRP Radio Ops.

The man in the Iron Mask is probably the most enduring French mystery. To this day we are not quite sure who he was and why he had to remain anonymous. I set up my Elecraft K1 and a half-wave end-fed wire with a 64:1 transformer on the Island of St Marguerite, not far from Cannes. Morse-code-only operations this time because I wanted to keep it light. Just a nice summer day practicing Morse on an island full of history.
