We had some nice time during the contest. It started with wine tasting at
friday. Naturally
we slept to long, so some qso were lost. One of the primar goals was to
install the
local network in the shack, so we spent a lot of time on this. Actually one
night (on saturday) two guys were working until 0400z only to install all
the necesary to run the network. Thanks to K1TTT for nettsr! On Sunday we
went to thermal baths which are quite common in our region and spent 3
wonderful hours in 36+C thermal water. They even have a pool which smells
like petrol and it's quite hot, 39-40C... There is whirl pool also, and a
lot of
time was spent studying the air pump interval. Everything to maximize the
pleasure.
Oh, and the outside pool with air temp around -10 and 10cm of snow. We even
managed
to work contest and it was nice to see things coming back on on 10m

Give us a call next time! Somebody will be there to answer :) We're not
always so busy
with those pools...
