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.
