What happened today:

09:00    Breakfast at the hotel. Right after we start to drive downtown and pick up our material, which had been stored in safe places. Driving downtown and back always takes almost one hour. Most of the aluminium had been stored in our trailer at the hotel and in the container on the hill. There is one team starting to put up the Inverted L for 160m (Titanex made). Other jobs are to run the electric power cable and the telephone line again.

 
Left: DL8WPX, DK1BT, DL3DXX, and the 160m Inverted L; Right: "Who the f*ck rolled up this cable last time???"

· Later we start to put the stations for 10m, 15m and 20m together. Everything so far is just a reproduction of the SSB setup. We can get all three bands working this day. There are some first, short activities as 5C8M, just to test the setups:

 
Left: DL2MEH playing on the 15m position; Right: Sunset behind the 10m antennas (two Cushcraft XM510, two Cushcraft 10-4CD).
