What happened today:


Well, this is Kilometer 351 at the Autostrada A-7, some 200 kilometers ahead of Barcelona, Spain. It is 15:45 local time and only a few minutes ago both tires on the rear axis decided to take a "break" (forever...). DL3DXX, DJ9MH, DL8WPX, CN8LN and DL6FBL (taking the pictures) are waiting for the service...
 
 
I never saw a blown tire before, and I don't want to see one again...

 
This is the service man. He had all his tools in his car, and managed to change both tires on site. It is really fun watching a professional doing professional work... Around 19:00 local time we are rolling on ... to the next repair center, because one of the two exhausts was broken and had to be welded. We found some friendly people, who did this job almost one hour after their official working hours... Thanks again. From now on everything went on smoothly and we reached the French border yet before midnight.

Thanks for working CN8WW again this year in CQ Worldwide DX Contest:
