| What happened
today:
Today we were fine tuning our setup. Yesterday
it was raining almost all day. The rain plus the high humidity plus all the
salt in the air showed us some problem areas: on quite some antennas we could
locate arcing over salty insulators... We would use all Friday to clean these
areas and hope for better (dryer) weather...

The vertical section stands on the small stripe behind the white car in
the middle.
