Tri-band GP gets an airing on west coast

[GM0LVI]

We spent six days over Easter in our motor home on a site near Arisaig on the west coast of Scotland. Views across to the Inner Hebrides were breathtaking, weather was just great though a chilly wind blew.
My new 3 band (12/17/20m) GP worked just great and it was nice to be able to change bands without having to take the pole down and change radiator and radials. I logged 47 CW QSOs, best DX was VE1BA on 20m. Worked nothing on 12m though could hear SA stations one day. Only club member was (no surprise here!!) Vitas - LY5BA.
Now in the process of planning a trip to the Isle of Barra (IOTA EU-010) late this month or early May.
Also got Summer Isles EU-092 booked for late July and working on plans for Shiant Isles EU-112 late August. Shiants are difficult to get to and it's a 20 mile trip by RIB from Stornoway.

Do you have coaxtraps on all legs? I have done some GP,s like that and they works fine.

No traps Jenny. Each set of radials consists of 3 parallel wires - one for each band and held apart with light weight spacers. There is little or no interaction and the 12,17 and 20m bands are not harmonically related.
