Tomas' LY3X Trakai story (LYFF-004, WCA LY-0023, LY-0024, LLA NR-060, NR-105). About Trakai Historical National Park Trakai Historical National Park is the smallest national park in Lithuania. This state-protected territory stands out from the rest in that it is centred on an ancient Lithuanian political centre, Trakai, and has a unique natural landscape to preserve. The landscape of Trakai Historical National Park exudes particular beauty; in part this is natural and in part it is man-made. It covers an area of 8,200 ha which includes more than 32 lakes (occupying an area of 1,400 ha). The pre-Ice Age relief is responsible for the large formations which dominate the Park, namely the lakes and marshland, and hills which formed during the last Ice Age (between thirteen and fourteen thousand years BC). During the varied stages when the ice melted an undulating plateau formed in the southern part of the park with a chain of moraine hills. In 6 hours of operating time I made 629 QSO, worked 43 countries. This time I'd experiments with the new 30M vertical antenna. Its simple 5 wire construction GP. The mast made of 14m fiberglass rod. The result was excellent, more DX stations heard me.
