Thursday 23 of April. Ferry arrived at Corsica 1.00 p.m. One hour later we are on campsite. Contest will start in 24h, and everything must be OK. Let's do it.
Antennas & mast. Nobody can beliveve in. It shouldn't work, bamboo rods, pvc pipes, wires, ropes, tapes, no no, it is impossible. How can I operate in contest?
