Our team is still in crawl preparations. Custom bags are ready and all antennas and poles will be transported in them. The DK7ZB beam antenna has been adjusted, and we especially thank non HAM Sergej from Slovenia who brought the pipes to Croatia by plane that we will use as a pole, as well as non HAM Anto (Germany), who got us 200m of wire. It’s nice to have friends who, even though they don’t do our hobby, are ready to help.

110 days until the start of our adventure! Some news from our team: we paid for an additional luggage (which is not cheap) from Paris to Papeete, because we want to be sure that the equipment that is planned arrives with us in Papeete / Tubuai. We also want to thank Koaxshop, from whom we received a discount for the purchase of the Aircell 5 cable. Thanks, Andreas! Also, We are in final arrangements for the use of specific Power amplifiers, more to come.
