Ceuta & Melilla and Gibraltar this summer
Hi everybody,
I want to share with you all that this August I will try to activate Gibraltar (ZB) the EA9 zone from Ceuta on portable on any avaliable FM satellite in the time I will be there. Also I will try to activate all the no frequent grids from Madrid to the South of Spain in my way.
I don't know how many passes and which satellites I will be able to use until I know the exact date of the trip but I will try to plan it so I can work at least one pass from Gibraltar and another one from Ceuta.
I will share the details on June or July in this list. All QSOs will be confirmed by LOTW.
I am really sorry that I don't have at the moment any SSB portable transceiver. I know it would be great for our not European friends. We will see if something can be done about it these months..
Thanks

Hi Felix
Make sure you apply for your ZB licence in plenty of time. I went there several years ago and found they are not part of the CEPT agreement.
Good luck. ZB2 is on my 'wanted list'

Hi David,
That's good to know. I'm not the original poster (and I'm in fact looking forward to his future trip), but I had the wrong impression that either a UK licence or a CEPT licence could be used in ZB (actually none of those are valid there).
More info: http://www.gra.gi/communications/amateur-radio-reciprocal-licence
Also note that operation is restricted to the 6m, 4m, 2m and 70cm bands and the maximum power is 100W ERP. So watch out for the maximum power on 70cm, as it is easy to surpass it if you use a high gain antenna.
For instance, on a 7 element yagi (say 9.82dBd gain), the maximum output power you can use is about 10W.

Dani EA4GPZ.

Hi David,
Thanks for the advice… I have just send them an email to be sure If I need an authorization…
I need to know too If I need something for Ceuta, but I don’t think so…

Dear Felix,
In Ceuta you can just use your Spanish licence. There is no need for any additional paperwork and there are no special restrictions. From an administrative viewpoint, you can use the call EA9/EA4GQS or just EA4GQS while operating from there. Beware if you decide to use just EA4GQS, as people may not be able to claim the EA9 DXCC (I'm not sure on what are the conditions for DXCC).
Regards,
Dani EA4GPZ.
