Monte Verde 2014 - D4C - Sao Vicente Island - Cabo Verde - Cape Verde

My first visit to São Vicente took place in November 2000. I spent a few weeks in Mindelo, the only town on the island, and made thousands of CW contacts using my call sign D44CF. I did see Monte Verde every day, but it seemed to be out of reach – distant, difficult to climb and often in clouds. One year later I was there again, enjoying the mild climate and excellent propagation. I wrote a few articles about my impressions, but did not expect very much yield of these reports. Pulu, D44AC, the only active local amateur radio operator, reported from Mindelo an increased number of visitors who called at his home.
