SX5C Special Call DxPedition STROGILI & Lighthouse IPSILI.
The following Greek hams: SV1GE John, SV1JG Cliff, SV1RC Spiros, SV1RP
George,SV1EEX Nikiforos, SV1GRM Theodoros, SV1GYG John, SV1HER Sotirios &
SV1JCZ Daniel
will activate the rocky islet STROGILI, IOTA: EU-001, GIOTA: DKS 001, MIA:
MGD-022 with lighthouse ham activation of the islet.
Lighthouse named IPSILI: WLOTA: L-0237, ARLHS: GRE-123.
The lighthouse was manufactured in 1917. The altitude of tower is 9 metres
and the height of focal plane is 85 metres.
All the above hams are also members of the Radio Amateur Association of
Greece (http://www.raag.org).
It will be the first time that this islet is going to be activated for ham
purposes and so does the lighthouse "IPSILI".
"We are very glad to announcement the participation to SX5C, one (1)
operator of VP6DX, DUCIE Island Dxpedition & five (5) operators from the
YK9SV,ARWAD Island Dxpedition".
The Stroggyli Kastellorizou also called Strongili or Strogili or Ipsili, is
a Greek islet which lies in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, about five (5)
nautical miles south-east of the island of Kastelorizo. The islet is about
1.5 km long, and up to 700 m wide. It covers an area of about 0.9 km2. It is
rather flat and covered with macchia. Strongili is the easternmost Greek
Territory. It is not inhabited, and has a lighthouse named Ispili, which has
the characteristic of being the easternmost building in Greece.
Strongili (Strogili,Stroggyli,Ipsili) ist eine kleine, unbewohnte
griechische Insel der ostlichen Dodekanes. Strongili liegt etwa 5km ostlich
der Insel Kastellorizo und ist damit die ostlichste Insel Griechenlands. Sie
ist lediglich gut 3km vor der turkischen Kuste entfernt. Die Insel ist ca.
1,5 km lang, bis zu 0,7 km breit und hat eine Flache von etwa 90 ha.
Strongili ist eher flach und kaum bewaldet. Da sie landwirtschaftlich nicht
mehr genutzt wird, bestimmen Buschwerk und Macciabewuchs das Ausssehen. Die
geschichtlich unbedeutende Insel ware auch wohl nicht weiter erwahnenswert,
wenn sie nicht die ostlichste Stelle Griechenlands darstellen wurde, und der
auf ihr stehende Leuchtturm das ostlichste Gebaude Griechenlands ist.
