What happened today:

· High waves take away 3 out of the 4 verticals from the 40m-4-square after midnight. We can save some aluminium, but the guying wires were eaten by the Atlantic Ocean. If someone at ZX0F or PJ4B finds some 6mm polyester wires on their beaches: it's ours...
· Dieter DL8OH wants to save his 80m antennas, but unwillingly takes a fine bath in the Atlantic Ocean...
· After breakfast we decide to take away all antennas from the shore. Only one single vertical for 40m and one for 80m stay on the beach, another single 80m vertical is erected on the hill - as well as a 2-ele vertical array for 40m.
· The container for the high-band-stations is delivered. The company's name is S.A.C.M.I. from Mohammedia. They mainly produce shelters for GSM systems and similar stuff. We have some problems putting the container to the exact position. The following pictures will explain themselves:

 
 

· Wolf, OE2VEL, joined the team. He was spending some "Lufthansa miles" for a free journey. He arrived at Casablanca airport and took the train from Casablanca to Rabat (some 100 km, very reliable, 5 US-Dollars fare). From Rabat train station he took a Taxi to the hotel (some 20 km, very old Mercedes, 15 US-Dollars fare).
