other

installing a beverage of about 200 meters on the beach facing the
sea.
We should have sporadic access to the Internet, and then try to
send
the logs to ClubLog, once a day. If for any reason this is not
possible,
do not panic, know that we will do so as soon as possible, and in any
case the logs will be saved in 3 backup copies.
As always, we ask you not to make dupes QSOs, in order to give the
opportunity for everyone to contact us in various bands and modes.
