05/12/99		 What happened today:

· Weather conditions: %$§#@*%& !!!!  (heavy winds, sand storm in the morning, rain in the afternoon - you feel like in a sandblasting machine).
· All shacks are finally equipped with enough electricity after a joint-venture between Norbert DL9NEI and three local Arab electricians.
· First steps to build beverage antennas.
· Assembly of 20m-yagis (Cushcraft XM520 - 5 elements on a 11m boom).
· First USA-pileups (deep into W6) on 10m using just 25W and a single Cushcraft XM510 5-element @ 24m...
· First tests and pileups on 80m and 160m by DL8WPX and DK6WL.
