[CQ-Contest] Spratley story --- was: Re: Worst contesting location?

[Oliver Dröse]

Igor,

Baldur, DJ6SI, one of the expedition crew members and one who survived that
"adventure" wrote a book about the whole story called "Rescued on the 10th Day"
(title translated from German original) but as far as I know it's only available
in German language. Maybe it will be translated once in a while ...

73, Olli - DH8BQA
