A tough journey due to traffic we arrived at our yearly contest site at JO00EW about 16:00hrs.

After a quick break and working out where the operating tents were, G0KLX John, G1KAW Kevin, G1OFW Steve, M1PRO Jason and 2E1IDC Carl, began to assemble the Clark masts for 23cms and 70cms and scaffold mast for 6M.

After the three masts were set up, construct of the antenna's were put together and tents and equipment was connected. Later that evening 2E0VAG simon turned up and we helped him set-up the 2M station and mast. Four station put together on the Friday evening and we decided to relax for the rest and grab some dinner from a local take-away.

Saturday Morning saw the arrival of G0XDI Matt with the 70cms equipment and G0PZA Garo ready for operating.

We entered the Restricted section again this year.
