Slovenia: VHF GMDSS station certificate exam and hike to Prelaz Ljubelj

In the morning I attended and exam for VHF GMDSS station in Koper and I passed with flying colors. Marine VHF radio is a worldwide system of two way radio transceivers on ships and watercraft used for bidirectional voice communication from ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore (for example with harbormasters), and in certain circumstances ship-to-aircraft. In our country a certificate is required to use a marine VHF radio. Afternoon was easier, as me and Nada did a short hike to Koča na Ljubelju mountain hut.

Hlavaty Park is located on the outskirts of the Old Town of Koper

Slovenian Maritime Administration building is surrounded by many boats

Boats in front of Ukmarjev trg, where I had an exam

 

Before the hike to Koča na Ljubelju (Garmin Connect),  I quickly visited the dragon in Tržič
