Life is brutal

I’ve been suffering from bites (rash and intense itching) since day one. I thought they were mosquito bites, but after several days (and nights) of testing, it turned out to be bed bugs.

Sometimes I don’t like expeditions.

Schedule for lower bands

Due to limited luggage (only 60kg) and limited space in my QTH I am using the same telescopic mast support for 40/60/80m. I have to rebuild antenna configuration every week:

  • 80m will be in use until Friday 2nd Oct.
  • 40m will be in use from 2nd Oct. until Monday 12th Oct.
  • 60m will be from 12th Oct. until 16th Oct.
14m mast used for 40/60/80m

Qatar Airlines expirience

Some good and some bad news about Qatar Airlines:

They have one of the best food on board I expirienced during my travels.

in Doha transfer Security service refused to take my radios as hand luggage. They considered it to be walkie-talkie which is forbidden on airplanes. Their first solution was to confiscate them. After 2 hours requests and pleas they allowed to repack it to check-in luggage.

I am afraid to travel with transceivers back home. In hand luggage it can be confiscated in worse case, in check-in luggage ,I am afraid, it can be damaged as it was many times before…

My QTH

Lausikula Chambres D’hôtes will be my QTH during stay on Willis Island. It is garden around house and I have promise from the host that I can put up antennas for my radio operation. Thank you Manuel !
