Today, Friday 23th September 2016, a lot of work was done to prepare the station for the CQWWRTTY contest. The major objective was to repare our main 20m antenna, 5 elements @25m. This mission was succesfull but unfortunately the rotator of our 6 element 15m yagi turned out to be broken. No repair possible \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

With this antenna pointing South America a serious handicap. All other bands ready for action in time.
\nGood thing we had nice weather and many hands to do the work.<\/p>\n
