My permanent antenna on the roof in out of order, the mast was broken by wind or/and ice. UA3LMR proimsed to give me a hand in re-erecting it provided WX is not so cold as presently. That day I worked with fishing-rod on the balcony, it functions so-so. SRI for missing your signals ES 73 till the next time! BTW, none of reveasebeacons heard my 50W, hi!
